Sport Armband for EVO 3D

**jddavis11** · 07-14-2011, 11:17 AM

So I am one of hundreds. Oh wait! Is it thousands, now? After 1.5 years of waiting for Palm/HP Pre by Sprint (I was content the first 0.5 year), for the next big thing to to come out and to no (illustrious) avail, so I decided to jump ship to Android (evo3d), who's been making serious waves and leaving Pre just floating in the vast sea of cellphone technology.

No, that has nothing to do with the subject title, but I felt like sharing that tidbit of information.

Anyway, I recently purchased a protective case w/ kickstand from BestBuy and a sports armband pouch from ebay... both suck hairy monkey ballz. I purchased the case because I wanted to get out of the habit of keeping my phone on my belt and I chose the one with the kickstand because kickstands phuckin bad azz. Then I purchased the sports armband because I jog 5-6 days a week and keeping my phone in my sweaty palm or clipped on my shorts with a beltclip just isn't comfortable when running longer than a 10k and THIS armband doesn't even fit. THOSE LIARS! (seller name: tuttoau). Ugh, made me waste a whole $5.04.

Anyone find and use a good sports armband and could make some good suggestions?

FYI - The kickstand case isn't all that bad. The actual kickstand is just flimsy and doesn't stay out and hold the phone when standing vertically (horizontally, it's fine). There should be some sort of snap to stay out, just like it snaps in.

Thanx.

I haven't bought one yet, but this is what I was looking at when I do. It is like the one I use for my IPOD. You can find more colors here.

Not to be a troll, but I'm genuinely interested in knowing if there's really demand for this? The EVO 3D, while a great phone, seems a tad heavy/oversized to be comfortable on someone's arm during exercise. I'd be interested to see someone with this on.

The whole oversized argument clearly depends on the size of your guns.

Also, I am kind of interested in getting one of these as well.

I know it weighs more than an IPOD Touch, but I don't think that 6.0 oz is too heavy. When it does, I will need to up my workouts.

This is a great point. My arms are relatively thin, so probably not a good fit for me

Haha, the EVO 3D can double as arm weights in that case.

I am female 5'1'' and weigh 115 pounds with small arms. I wear mine with the case I used for the evo 4g and I do not feel that it is too big.

The case came from Amazon and is a tad snug. I am looking for a bigger one that will fit with a slim case.
