Hey guys,
I'm posting a review here of an armband I really enjoyed using. Hope it helps anyone who's looking for an armband to purchase.
The Minisuit Sporty Armband is perfect for those looking for an armband that stays on while exercising and keeps your device from getting damp through sweat. It works with both the iPhone 5, 5C, 5S, and iPod 5g (I tested with all of these). It also works with slim cases on all of these devices, so needless to say it will fit your phone.
It comes with two different loops on the band for different size arms. The headphone jack opening is a decent size and allows me to plug in my headphones into my phone through the armband. The armband also features a key holder, which I found works great for storing my key and a few dollar bills, just to keep on hand. I was also able to keep my building keycard and license ID in the back of the armband behind my phone.
Lets start with how well it fits. The armband fit very well on my arm, and most importantly stayed on and stayed snug throughout the week Ive been using it to exercise. Other armbands Ive used in the past would fall off, or would become loose and would start moving on my arm, which gets very frustrating while jogging. You can tell that this armband is very high quality and very well made, because it stays on. Its also very comfortable; after about 10 minutes, I didnt even notice I had it on.
The armband is also great at keeping your device dry while using it at the gym. I sweat a lot during my workouts, so the fact that it keeps my phone dry was a must for me when using an armband. The armband itself is made of a neoprene material, which means it dries very quickly. To clean it, all I had to do was use soap in water. In under 20 minutes, It was dry - amazing! I also accidentally spilled water on it during one of my workouts, and for a second I was scared that my phone wouldve gotten wet. However, the armband held up, and kept my device perfectly dry. I wouldnt suggest swimming with this armband on, as the back portion where you stick your phone in technically is slightly open, but its good to know that it can withstand a little water thrown on it.
I think my favorite feature of this armband is that I can use my iPhone through the clear plastic, which is absolutely great to be able to change a song, or answer a quick text. In my tests, it worked perfectly, as if there was nothing in between the phone and my finger.
Overall, the Minisuit Armband is the best armband Ive used, and in using it, Ive convinced my buddies at the gym to get one as well. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an armband to use while exercising!
