Armband that fits Huawei Ascend & my arm...?

June 7, 2011 4:29 PM

Is there a sport-friendly armband that will fit Huawei Ascend and my plush arm? Amazon preferred & $35 or less, if possible.

The phone dimensions are ~2 1/2" x ~4 5/8". My upper arm is ~14" around; forearm is ~10 1/2" around - I understand many give the option of either/or, but happy if it just fits one or the other.

I've been looking on Amazon for a while now but the reviews are so conflicting and product details are scanty, I just can't tell which would be a good option. A friend gave me an Amazon giftcard, though, so I'd like to use that if I can. The couple I've been stuck on are here and here.

Conditions of use will include walking, cycling, using gym equipment, dancing, and otherwise flinging myself around like a monkey. I'll be running headphones to the jack for inspirational tunes - this is the primary objective, so it's important this will work. Sweat is a concern.

Thank you for your help!

Maybe this one? Your phone ought to fit in there, with a bit of room to spare. The armband adjusts to 9-17 inches and an armband extender is also available.

Response by poster: As an update: I got the iArmband (1st link in my question) because the band goes up to 20" without an extender. Unfortunately, phone has had music-playing issues, so haven't had a chance to try it out yet, even after all this time. It does fit comfortably, though, and does hold even awkward 2nd-string smartphones with very little jack access conflict.
