Armband for running

[Jake Benson]

I bought an Belkin armband to carry my S3 while running so I can listen to music and run mileage tracker, etc. Today, my phone stopped charging. When we took the back off at the Verizon store, it was soaked inside. Obviously, the damn armband which was supposed to be sweat resistant, wasn't. I ended up having to get a new phone which meant all my settings, apps, etc. had to be reset. Plus, I don't think this one runs as smooth. Anyway, anyone know of an armband that is SWEATPROOF? Would greatly appreciate being steered toward one.

this might be what you want.


I originally bought this for my GNex, but the SGS3 fits perfect in it. I wear it on runs all the time. It's rock solid, doesn't budge, and the S3 is light enough that it doesn't feel like a brick on your arm. It's neoprene on the back, clear plastic on the front, so sweatproof.


It's so good, I bought one for my buddy, and he uses his all the time at the gym.


Really top notch, I'd highly recommend.
