Pro: 360 feature is great. Con: phone is too far out from arm, jiggles while running.
I use this arm band primarily for walks and light running, I've had it for about 2 weeks and have used it at least an hour nearly every day. I'm using with an iPhone 11, in an Otterbox Symmetry case, and wireless bluetooth headphones/earbudsHigh level: I really really enjoy the 360 rotation feature, and uncovered screen. It's great for the price (I paid ~ $14 USD, AUG 2023) however, I would not buy this again.I could recommend for walking/lighter activity, but not for running or other vigorous activity.I will use this until it wears out, and then go back to standard arm band where phone slides inside a pocket with clear plastic over phone face.With a few design improvements, this would be a superior arm band.PRO:- 360 rotation: allows for navigating your phone apps in normal orientation without taking off the armband. Simply turn 90 degrees to view your phone as normal. Then easily turn back in line with your arm. And if you put your phone in upside down by accident, just rotate it, no need to take your phone back out or take off the armband. I LOVE this feature, super convenient while walking/running/etc, since you can access everything without taking the armband off.- Open screen: the phone is held in place with strong rubber straps at top and bottom of phone. This means your are directly touching your phone screen (or protector), so you have all the normal responsiveness. The straps do not get in the way of your apps or camera (might need to adjust a little bit after first putting on to have clear access to self facing camera lens, and have to move the strap a little to see battery power). This is great during a walk or run for quick access to your phones features.- Phone straps: These seem very secure. I was skeptical at first trusting my phone to some strong rubber bands, but after some significant use over 2 weeks I trust these. Not sure how they will hold up long term.- Build quality: Overall this seems to be well constructed with durable and lightweight materials. Caveat: I've only used for 2 weeks, and the weakest material seems to be the elastic arm band.CON:- Swivel height: Since the swivel that allows 360 rotation holds your phone ~ 1/2 inch off your arm, during actual running/jogging, the phone moves quite a bit. I've only done short runs so far, but the phone movement is quite noticeable and also seems to move the armband down your arm towards your elbow, even with the armband firmly secured. For a longer run, this would not be acceptable.- Arm band: The arm band is elastic, secured by velcro. It feels great when first put on, but after two weeks I can already feel it getting weaker, and imagine it will stretch out and lose elasticity with normal use far sooner than should be expected. Seems fine for just walking, but not secure enough for running.- Card storage: There is none (nor is any promised in the description). Standard armbands typically have a small pocket for cards (Credit card, Drivers license, folded cash, etc), which allows me to leave my wallet at home, but drive legally and be prepared if I need/want to make a purchase. This seems like a major oversight/design flaw. I tried tucking cards in between my phone and the phone straps, but even after 1 minute of running, the cards slowly start to dislodge, and I'm sure with a run of even a mile, they would fall out and you wouldn't notice. In the past I would put cards inside my phone case, but my current case does not come on/off easily.- Key holder: It's not big enough for a normal key. The small part of the key fits, but not the part that you hold. Again, major design flaw. This key holder is useless to me. (even their own photo shows a key that will not fit).- Velcro strap: This arm band has two buckle loops to allow for larger or smaller arms. I use the smaller loop, the tab for pulling the strap on/off is on the wrong side. A minor inconvenience.- Phone removal: some versions shown in customer videos allow for the phone to be removed, and put back on, while in the straps, my version does not.NEUTRAL:- Ear bud and wired headphone holder: I have not used this feature.

The hard rubber that stretches around phone may break.. please make harder or thicker... Other than that it is a great product.

The Straps Loosen Quickly
Would have been done really nice if the strap that goes around your arm did not get loose after a couple of days of wearing it.I slept with it on so I don't know if that added to the wear.

Good for running
My only complaint is that the phone holder slipped out during one of my runs. Only happened once.

Not for bigger arms, but a great quality design
My biggest admiration for this armband is that your phone rides in a carrier that slides on and secures to the band. This allows for easy phone access without removing the entire band from your arm. It isn't designed for bigger arms tho. I'm maxed out on it and if I increase just a tad on bicep size, I'll have a problem. It has a stretchy band that definitely allows for conture to sit in place when you're in motion. Overall, I like this one.

Nice Armband and Easily Attach/Remove Phone
It does what it says. Nice feature being able to attach/detach phone as well as rotate.

Convenient to use but....
I got this rotating armband so I could wear my swimsuit while walking the dog on the beach instead of my cargo shorts with cell phone pocket. The pocket is low on the thigh and both my phone and wallet get wet when the waves come rolling in. This armband solves that problem.However, the rubber bands that hold the phone onto the armband base do not allow for facial recognition or to easily swipe up to close or minimize applications. The bands cover the camera and the bottom of the screen. I have noticed that if you push the bottom band up a bit, you can get to the bottom of the screen somewhat, but I have yet to be able to move the top band out of the way enough to allow use of the facial recognition camera.There was no packaging other than a cellophane bag, and no instructions. However, the construction of the armband is done such that it's easy to figure out how to seat the cell phone securely. I've used this just about every day since getting it last month and I've had no problems with it. It sure beats having to take the phone out of my pocket whenever I want to switch from YouTube to Apple Music or turn the volume up or down.And I don't have to wear a shirt to hold the phone for those times when the cargo shorts are in the wash and I have to wear something else. Now I can enjoy the sun baking my chest and back so I can get a nice all over tan.

Greatly improved.
I bought one of these months ago. The rubber strings broke after awhile. The company refunded me, but said they had a newer model coming out soon. I bought the new one, which is this one, and it is much more durable. I use it a lot when biking or hiking. Works well. I love it.

Comfortable and secure
Armband is very comfortable and stays secured around my bicep. Unit is keeps the iphone very stable while I jog.I only wish it could spin the phone 360 degrees. This could make it more useful.
