Droid X Armband???

[Jackseric]

OK, got a Tune Belt from Amazon for my wife and I both, a few weeks ago.


Here are my opinions/review:

• It's a tight fit... just how it should be for athletic activity.
• The build quality feels pretty solid... more solid than anything else I've seen out there.
• BUY the armband extension. No, I said BUY IT!
• The window is not an EXACT fit, but damn close. I'm happy with it.
• FORGET about keeping your hard/gel case on. It ain't gonna work!
• Did I mention buying the armband extender? I have skinny to medium sized arms, and I'm fine with it, but wish I had bought the extender just for ease of taking it on/off while sliding it over my shirt.

It's not perfect, but closer to it than any of the others I've checked out. For $20 with the extender, I don't think you're going to find anything better!

After going through the thread, I see a lot of great options, but still curious about condensation and damage to my DX. Here in Nebraska it is muggy 3 out of 4 seasons. Humidity + sweat = soggy phone /nervous runner.
Really looking at the droid arm band. looks nice and thin. Would like to know if it is truly a 'full operation in case' case...

This may be an option...

I, too, bought the tune belt arm band, and I am less than enamored with it. I wanted something to wear when I ran outside, both to play music and to connect to my favorite running site. But the sun glaring off of the plastic cover of the tune belt made it impossible to see, and having it on your upper arm means you almost have to take it off to operate it anyway. By accident, I found the ultimate (for me) way around this.

By chance, I had an Amphipod hydration belt laying around. In addition to detachable water bottles, this thing has a velcro closing pouch that is the perfect size for my Droidx! In the mesh pocket of the pouch, the bluetooth is able to communicate with the headphones and the GPS can make contact with the satellites. It is easy to remove from the pouch to mark laps, change playlists, etc.

If you go this route, I totally recommend Zagg's Invisible Shield. That improves the grip to the point where you don't need to worry about it slipping through your fingers when you take it out.

I really wish I could find one that would secure around my forearm. Would make operating the phone a breeze while running.

I did buy the Tune Belt at Academy Sports and it was OK at best. As another poster said, the plastic made it near impossible to even see the screen in the daytime. Trying for a quick fix, I cut out the plastic and now my phone won't stay in it. I'm stupid.

HAHAHA! I did the same thing. I did have the foresight to leave a horizontal plastic strip so the thing stays in, but it looks like crap and I hate it.

BUT

I found these Amphipod ArmPod carriers at running warehouse. I used it for the first time today, in combo with a bumper box, just in case. Turned out I didn't really need the box. It worked out great sans hood. (It might work great with the hood too, I just didn't use it.) Still a little hard to see in the sun, as any backlit thing will be, but not nearly as bad as plastic. It fits great and stays put without bouncing.

Motorola armband for the ipod

I dont have my DX yet to verify, but measuring the case itself, it should hold an item that is 5.5 inch tall by just under 3 inch wide and with elastic sides and a velcro top can be adjusted down easily. Has worked great holding my ipod classic during workouts, expecting the same great results with my DX assuming it really does fit.

I have that one, and it doesn't fit the DX well, at least not without stretching it, and that's without a case. In 4 months time, I have worn it out to the point I had to repair it (sewed it bk together and had to replace the velcro that the flap uses to close it). I work in a warehouse so it's not a big deal for me, but i would not recommend this to anyone else for a DX. D1, D@, D2G, sure. It fits them without stretching and with a case on.

While driving my jeep...I listen to my music through bluetooth. I rest my dx on my right leg. Its accesible and "safe" from going out the side where I have no doors on. I want to secure it to my leg with a band like this. Ever since Iron Eagle in the 80s I've wanted to do this. Lol

Just wanted to share the latest news... The armband I used for my iPhone (before Droid X) was the best sport armband ever - used it for about 2 years - and still good, but my model does not fit my new phone. Called the guys to see if they could help, and they are coming out with a new model for the Droid X, it's the Xtreme i-30, available by mid-May. I'm on their distribution list so I'll post again when it's available. I love my current Armpocket, it's water-resistant, doesn't slip on the arm, has full screen access and just very comfortable (cushioned with memory foam I think). I wash it, and it's like new. And they offer multiple colors and strap sizes.

No offense intended, but is the cellphone armband the pocket protector of the 2010s?

It keeps my hands free to carry leashes and dog crap while I take them for a run. I don't wear it to be cool or attractive, I wear it for functionality.
