Armband that will fit iPhone 5 and slim case?

I have an ArmPocket armband for my iPhone 4S. I can confirm that the iPhone 5 fits in it, even with a Speck Candyshell case installed.
I highly recommend the ArmPocket. It is very comfortable and stays in place very well. Plus, you can carry a bit more than just your phone. As a marathon runner and triathlete that runs over 1200 miles a year, it is of the best iPhone accessories I own....hands down!
I picked up a Belkin easefit from BB last night as it was the only one I could find for the 5, and it is going back today. VERY tight fit, and with any kind of case on the phone, there is no way it would fit- stay away from this one

I too have an Armpocket which I used for my 4S and also have a Speck Candyshell case, but strangely no chance on my 5 fitting in there. Maybe I have a different Armpocket.
Thanks for the info, I just ordered the new I-10. By the way DO NOT BUY THE BEST BUY ROCKETFISH CASE! I was desperate for a case so I purchased that one. When I came back from a 5 mile run my phone was soaked.... no damage since I had a case on top of the phone, but still....
Do you know what model you have? I also have a Speck candyshell on my phone but not sure if it will fit in the sport 25 or if i'd have to get the 30.
Armpocket Sport i-25
Hi all,
I ordered an Armpocket i-25 from http://www.simplysports.co.uk/ for £24.99, in the UK.
There's plenty of room for my iPhone 5 in it's case, together with my keys and some cash.
I've only used it a couple of times, but it's a top quality product - well thought out design and plenty of room, meaning I don't have to take the case off every time I go out.
I'd also highly recommend Simply Sports - I've got no connection or affiliation to them - but if you want an Armpocket in the UK, buy from them. Awesome service - I received it less than 16 hours from ordering.

Hi, I'm new here. I've actually found that the belkin armband for the samsung galaxy fits great for a iphone 5s with slim case. The only mod I made was using a soldering iron to make a hole in the bottom for the earbuds.

It's actually a Galaxy S3 armband, but fits the iPhone perfectly. You'll need to cut a small hole in the bottom if you plan on using headphones with it.
It works really well with or without cases. Fits large cases as well.
