Armband for Droid finally coming?

[zebroid1]

I've been running with my Droid in my pocket, but I started to get worried about jostling it around too much, so I tried wrapping it in a sock. Then I just looked like a moron with a giant sock ball bouncing around in my pocket when I ran.

I have been jogging the past few months with my Droid in this DLO armband for Zune HD. It fits the phone perfectly

Thanks. I have one I've been using from my old ipod photo. It zips in, the fit is a bit tight, but there is no way to see screen. Now I'll have to see if there's a Zune bike mount sturdy enough for mountainbiking.

I say the same thing...

WOAW, are you on EDCF? I almost forgot what forum I was browsing...

Hopefully this armband will be big enough that your normal case can stay on. I hate the ipod touch arm band because in order to use it you must remove the protective sleeve that you have on it.

I picked up one of these yesterday. How hard did you have to shove to get it to fit? There's no freaking way it will fit in the one I got. Same sku and everything. Taking it back today. I tried a case for the iPod touch as well, same problem, just won't fit.

Nope.

A salesperson at a Verizon Kiosk at the mall told me that Verizon is designing an armband for the Droid that should be available this spring.

Actually, it was supposed to drop yesterday at 12 Noon, but then Verizon pulled it from the shipping trucks because there was a bug in the armband (probably something small, like an ant or something). However, a small "test group" of people actually did get the armband. But no release date has been set for the DROID armband.

I'm one of the armband test group people. I can post the armband file online if you want. However, I am at work right now and can't do it from here.

Im guessing you have to wait till 10 so you can get home from work?

I purchased an iphone armband as well...works great but had to cut another hold in the top as the headphone jack is on the opposite side...cant remember what the thing is called though. I bought it at Best Buy...


Hahaha, a murse...

Mine fitted like a glove the first time. It was slightly tight but the material was stretchy. After a couple of times, it loosened enough that I could slide it in with minimum effort.

I went out today and purchased the Sportwrap by ExtremeMac. You can find some more info here @ Sportwrap for iPhone 3GS - Black: XtremeMac.

I took some pics to show you how it fits. I think it fits quite well. The screen is still very responsive while it is in the case.

Just a warning about the extrememac:

Iphones are almost the same size as a droid. Almost. I've had one for a few months now and I was reasonably happy until today. Mostly I'd been snowshoeing in the dim winter evenings. But today I ran in the bright sunlight. I think because of the slightly different shape, the clear part bubbles up ever so slightly off the screen. The screen is also matte not perfectly clear. I couldn't see a thing. Nothing. That's my only complaint with it. But I'm going to look into the official droid armband because I had to stop and take the thing off my arm to fast forward in Pandora.

You must have gotten lucky. The one I got was about a quarter inch too narrow to even fit the phone in. If the whole phone was as wide as the screen it would have fit okay.

Are you able to run with the ExtremeMac? Does it stay firmly in place?

Anyone seen anything about this? Googled droid armband but it just comes up with the usual suspects.

Sorry I missed this earlier TDyrden (Fight Club?). Yes it does stay in place well. I don't have to mess with it at all.

Google SPI belt. Keeps my droid snug around the waist.

I like the look of those, but the Pouch looks a little small for the droid.. How does that work out for you? Can you put other stuff in there, like keys, drivers license, etc?

edit: Wait.. I was looking at the bands, not the belt. The belt looks roomy enough.

 

[Lil e]

Does the Droid have a hard drive that is going to skip when running longer distances? Thanks, e

 

[Titaniac]

Lil E:

The droid does not have a hard drive in it at all - it stores its music on the micro SD card.

 

[Lock-N-Load]

all these designs are way to bulky. Always have been with that huge thick strap, way to much material, often those loop back through the plastic to pull snug systems, velcro.. blah blah

we need Nike to release one like this for the Droid as these are and work awesome! I have one for an iPod of mine. Snug, sized, minimal material, no bulk, stretches, dries fast.

Did an armband case for the Droid Incredible ever come out?

 

[billd]

I use a "Tune Belt" brand arm band. Not perfect but it does the job. I'd prefer something waterproof so that I could run in the rain safely with my Droid.

So when is the armband going to debut??????? I need one so I can use my calorie counter app. and when I am working out at the gym. What's the point of all these apps if you can't use them properly without an armband?
