HTC Evo armband

If you are like me with an HTC Evo and addicted to the gym, the road to a good armband has been a shaky one.  Like many of you I scowered the web, trudging through Chinese websites and cheap throw a ways...  I was amazed on how much of a market was out there for these accessories.  With that being said, you would think there would be something out there that was quality.  Thinking I found what I was looking for, I decided to pull the trigger and try one out.  Here's what i got:

I ended up buying a generic armband called, Hold a Phone of all things.  I  was a bit skeptical at first, mostly due to the "info-mercial-esque" name but i went ahead anyways.  After getting the product I can say I'm honestly very pleased with it and use it constantly.  I'm a bit rough at the gym and it seems to be holding out well.  With the HTC Evo it is somewhat of a tight fit in the beginning, but it does loosen up after some use.  The case for the phone is a zipper pouch with a plastic window which allows for you to operate your phone on the fly.  There are some big holes on the screen so it's not completely waterproof from the front.  The strap feels like it's made from the same material as my wetsuit, so it's pretty breathable and has some stretch to it (thankfully).  With that being said I'd also like to mention that sweat  does not reach the phone.  I'm also very glad that the band itself offers some resistance on the holder.  The pouch doesn't slide around much (if at all) and the pouch/phone itself doesn't fly off the band when I take the thing off my arm.

All in all I'm happy with my purchase.  My only real gripe is the pouch wasn't a bit bigger.  I would like to fit more than a few bucks in my armband along with my HTC Evo.  I wouldn't recommend using the armband if you have a screen protector since I could imagine it either getting pulled off or getting stuck to the plastic screen.  But other than that, I think it's a great product!
