Best running armband by i2gear review


This past month, I was able to review the Best Running Armband for Samsung Galaxy S6, S5, S4, S3, iPhone 6 by i2 Gear. In case you don't remember, I have reviewed their armband for the iPhone 4 here if you would like to read it. 

This armband is compatible with the new Samsung S3, S4, and S5, HTC One, and iPhone 6. It will NOT fit the iPhone 6 plus as the phone is significantly bigger. I do have a slim phone case on my iPhone 6 and the phone still fits perfectly fine in the armband, with lots of room to spare and the holes for the headphone still line up.

  • I loved my iPhone 4 armband so much and it was faithful to me for a solid 6 months before I upgraded to an iPhone 6. I was very grateful to be able to receive a bigger armband to fit my bigger phone. 
  • The length of the armband fits arms between 9 and 14.5 inches. 
  • It is made of nylon, velcro, and neoprene so it is very comfortable on your arm, not to mention wicks away moisture from your phone during those sweaty workouts.
  • There is reflective material surround the screen part of the armband for added safety. 
  • It has a very convenient key hold on the side.
  • The cost for this armband is ridiculously cheap for the quality. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone searching for an armband and looking to not break the bank.
The only complaint I have of this armband is that if it is not placed high enough on the arm, part of the plastic reflective banding on the bottom could rub up with your forearm. It does depend what activity you are using the armband for but during my run, I noticed a slight irritation on my forearm from the band. I fixed the problem but placing the band higher up on my arm and the irritation was gone immediately. I did not have the problem when riding my bike as my arm is not bent during this activity.

Kobert Exercise Armband review!



Hey everyone! This week I was able to review an awesome exercising armband. The Kobert exercise armband is made to fit the iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5C, 5S, 6, and Samsung Galaxy S3, S4, and S5 without the case. It is meant to keep your phone on you to listen to music or keep you handsfree while you work out.


The armband is made of a very strong and durable high quality Neoprene and velcro band. It has a silver/blue reflective border to help protect you if you are a night runner or like to work out in the dark. The armband has a circumference of 12" to 15.5". The transparent screen protector allows you to see your screen while it is in the armband. On the side, there is a pocket for a small key. There is access to both the bottom and top for your headphones, depending on the type of phone you are using.
I am a runner and am always looking for armbands that will withstand the horrible harsh weather that New England has to offer. I tested out this product in the rain, hoping that it would keep my phone somewhat dry. The armband was very easy to put on and I felt that the velcro was extremely strong and did not budge while I was running. The key pocket did fit my car key but nothing else and my headphones slipped in the top left hole with no problem. The screen protector didn't fog up with all the humidity from the rain and sweat and my phone was mostly dry at the end of my work out. (I always keep it in a ziplock bag just in case i fall into a giant puddle or lake) I would easily be able to use this armband with yoga or while weightlifting as it does not move up and down your arm once it is velcro-ed on. The pocket for my phone was a tad bit large for my iPhone 4s but it fit the iPhone 5 perfectly! I didn't try it with a Samsung or the new iPhone 6. It was also very easy to wash this in the sink and air dry without any damage to the band.

Overall, this product does exactly what it is meant to do. I have only used it for about 3 weeks and have had no sign of wear and tear with it. I'm hoping that it will last for the long run (pun intended) It is important that if you are interested in purchasing it, the arm circumference is 12" to 15.5" and make sure it is compatible with your phone type!

Kobert is so positive that you will love this armband and allows a money back guarantee if you aren't 100% satisfied with the product! If you are interested in purchasing this awesome armband, click here
