TB armband for running

[KatieJ]

I finally found a GREAT armband to go running with and thought that I would share it!
I have a thunderbolt and have been searching since I got it for something that I felt would keep it secure and still let me access all my touch screen features.
WARNING: I only checked this out with a thunderbolt, no other phones. And yes, it says for I-phone / i-touch but I checked the size before I purchased in store. (you can buy it online and in stores)

Amazon.com: Yurbuds V10-11AB-10401 Ironman Series Armband: Electronics

I took it out for a run tonight and have been thrilled! But check it out to see if it'd work for you. Some pro's and con's I found on my trial run.


Pros:

• Able to access all of my screen!
• Touch screen still responds even with a screen protector on.
• The band itself has a slot for a house / car key.
• The headphone jack lines up almost perfectly.
• Good snug feel without being too heavy (with the phone being so big you don't need any added weight from the armband!)
• The armband itself has some silver reflective material to help make you a little more visable if you run/bike at night.

Cons:

• The packaging warns that the back of the armband is NOT water or sweat proof although even when the material felt pretty damp my phone did not.
• The yurbuds and ironman symbols / decals on the front screen are more annoying than troublesome. (luckily they didn't cause me any issues but they are a little in the way)

There may be a few more cons after a few more runs but right now I can't really find more than two!

Hope this helps and good luck to anyone still searching!

Do you have any pictures of the phone IN the armband?
