Reviews for Incase Sports Armband Pro for iPhone 4

Do not buy!!! The case split down the side and my phone fell out after only 4 months of use. I also have small arms and I could never get it tight enough where I felt it was secure.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I LOVE this product. I use it for inline skating and it is the best way to carry your iPhone for the music & GPS program monitoring. I don't wear headphones when I'm skating so if I had any complaint at all it's that the sound doesn't always carry through the case. But I would highly recommend this product. I actually own 2 of them because I liked the first one so much I purchased a spare.

Read the all the negative comments and they are spot on. The plastic cover ripped after 2 weeks. They should be giving these away for free (and I would still not take one)....look at another product.

I had this armband for maybe 2 months before the plastic window broke. As others have mentioned, the touch screen also doesn't work well through the thick plastic. While the touch screen problems are forgivable, the durability is pathetic for a workout accessory. Don't buy.
