I bought this band to gain access to music, apps, etc to motivate me to go running. If closed too tightly it hurts, but remains in place and I had 0 worry about it falling off, and was not worrying about it at all while running. V decent buy.
Not substantial, flimsy.

My daughter is 5'7, 150lb and I got her a small. The small is tight on her arms. I'd recommend large to any one just in case
Functions as Advertised - Very Happy with Product

My iPhone 8 fits perfectly in the arm band even with the Apple leather case on it. It feels secure whether I am on the treadmill or running outdoors. The actual arm band is thinner and also feels secure.
Lightweight and holds phone securely without interfering with front cameras

I had actually been shopping for a version with a swivel, but the attachment bands for those types seem to interfere more with the front cameras as well as the home buttons (if you have one) or face ID. They also add weight and have really wide bands. What appeals to me about this holder is that it is lighter weight, has a narrower band, and a replaceable neoprene strap.
I'll also note that while this is marketed as an armband, I prefer wearing it on my wrist with the phone against the inner wrist. This feel more comfortable to me, probably because I'm so used to palming my phone but also allows me to use my phone apps in a natural way without breaking my stride.
The silicone holder has a nice, soft, skin-like texture. While it won't prevent build-up of sweat as you workout, it does make it a bit more tolerable. It is vented at the top and bottom portions of the holder, but not in the area that bridges across the neoprene band (which would weaken it, so I understand the compromise). Finally, as I noted earlier, the neoprene band is easily removable and replaceable. As with any Velcro-type material, this is likely to wear out the quickest and it is really thoughtful that the manufacturer gives you the option to replace just the band!
Not so great for large phones

I have a large phone (Galaxy S9+), and I have to take the case off for this to hold my phone properly. Then, the weight/size of the phone makes it gradually slide down my upper arm, while exercising. In order to keep that from happening, I have to have the strap uncomfortably tight around my arms to hold it in place.
Don’t have to take my case off to use with this product

Met my needs. However, I wish I would have gone with one of the quick disconnect brands since the phone is a little difficult to get out of this model.

Got this for my iPhone XR. This holder fits it even with my Defender Otterbox on it. Fit securely on my arm & didn’t run or chaff. I use it while running.
Works well
