    Bought this case twice and in about 3 months(both times) the display cracks and makes me feel like I have to buy a new one because I don't want my sweat to drip into the phone.
    Not worth buying!

    The clear plastic cracked after 8 times of use. I did not expect such a poor quality product listed on apple store. Do not waste your money.

    Poor design

    • Written by from Cheltenham

    Designed by idiots, The band around the arm does not stretch, therefore when you bend your arm (In the human body this causes the biceps to flex.. Duh!) The band then becomes too tight inhibiting blood flow. The natural reaction to this is to adjust the band with the arm bent... fine until you straighten your arms down by your side again.... then the band slides down and off your arm... unbelievable.

    It is a really ridiculous design, if the shop was not so far away I would return the product stating the UK sale of goods act which requires products be fit for purpose...This item is not!

    Cons: The material soaks through to the phone with sweat. The plastic window is rigid and poorly fits the phone, making it all but impossible to use the phone or ipod. Because the phone fits so poorly in the case, one has to remove the band to replace the phone back in the case, as opposed to sliding the phone right back in without armband removal.

    Pros: It holds a phone and attaches to your arm.

    Lesson Learned

    • Written by from BATON ROUGE

    My first armband was a Belkin and I had trouble with it so I purchased this one.

    My first Incase armband lasted about 6 months until the clear plastic screen split on the side. I brought it back to Apple and pulled my digital receipt from my phone and they quickly gave me a new one.

    The second one lasted a month, seriously. I just went into Apple again and they once again gave me another one. I am now on my third Incase Sports Armband Pro and I am already shopping around for a new armband because I know the clear plastic screen will split again.

    After talking to the guy at Apple, he says he uses some waterproof one that he takes swimming with him. He said it's hard getting the phone in and out, but it has lasted a long time. Learn from my mistake and don't buy this becuase it's all good in the beginning and then downhill after.

    Bad quality. The plastic layer of my brand new armband is already folded when I unpack it. The folded line is at least 2cm long.

    I wish I read these review before I bought the 2nd

    Like everyone before me, I have had the clear plastic case split on this arm band---not once but twice on 2 different bands. The first time occurred less than 3-4 months from purchase (using about 3-5x per week). I used duct tape to keep it together but finally broke down and bought a second. Within 3-4 months again, this cover split too. This time, it split down the side. The only reason I bought the second was because they had no other models in stock for the iphone 4 and the store told me they handn't heard of any problems. I called the Apple retail store today where I purchased to inquire about returns, etc. They again said they had not heard of any problem. These are awful and should be removed from the retail and online store! Terribly frustrating that you can't return to Apple and need to go back to incase.

    The cheap plastic front cracked after 2 weeks of normal use. I bought the Belkin and they use a higher quality plastic front.

    Do not buy this product

    For the amount of money you pay for this armband, I would expect it to be great. The plastic is too tough and its too far away from the iPhone screen. The arm band loosens up and doesn't flex with your arm. I returned this product after only using it once.

    DO NOT FREAKING BUY

    • Written by from Lakewood

    Seriously I'm getting good karma for writing this review because it's saving you money for something better. My phone broke the plastic layer the 4th time I used it. Now the moisture has shriveled the plastic making a kind of popping noise you get from a plastic water bottle whenever you touch it. So not only will this thing look super ghetto within a couple of weeks you'll also create attention with the freaking noise of it.

    Don't buy it...

    Total waste of $40. I should have read the reviews before buying this, but assumed Apple would only sell quality accessories. My mistake. The plastic screen came detached completely on the left side after only 10 uses. InCase is replacing it for free (supposedly - their customer service process is confusing and I have no idea if it's actually shipped or not) but I'll most likely be buying a Belkin or Griffin anyway since I'm sure the replacement will break as well. Buy a different band.

    Feces.

    Bought it in December 2011 and just the other day (6 months later) it tore right down the long part of screen protector as I was tightening it. I think the manner in which the screen protector or window portion of this armband is built is not good. It doesn't rest flat on the screen, more times than often would bunch up, making it difficult to quick swipe to and access my data.

    Also, good with trying not to lose the cable wrapper piece. Mine got lost within 2 weeks. Its loose and can easily just get lost.

    This case cracked shortly after purchase. The plastic that covers the iPhone is not durable.

    Steer Clear

    Purchased from Apple Store. Had good luck with other inCase products, but this one was a bummer. Ran with on (2) Occasions during first week, logging approx. 12 miles. Touch screen functionality is surprisingly good through clear plastic protector, but hinders ability to use main control button. Apparently, other similar arm bands don't have this problem (see Tune Belt products). Clear plastic screen protector is fairly rigid & split in two places while attempting to use iPhone 4 main control button following my second run. Arm band is now damaged & of no use. Promptly returned product to Apple Store & got refund. I'm now I'm back in the market for a running arm band.

    Other things to consider: This arm band is designed to be used with naked iPhone 4. This is fairly common with many arm bands. So, be prepared to shed your cover, case, or skin to use this product.

    Pros:
    - Fairly comfortable neoprene band with full phone coverage.

    Cons:
    - Clear screen protector restricts use of iPhone control button.
    - Neoprene may allow moisture into phone carrier & contact phone or phone internals
    - Will only support naked iPhone 4
    - Damaged on second use

    Thanks Apple Store for accepting return. You take pride in ensuring that customers are satisfied with Apple products & after market products that you offer.
