Case - Workout Armband for EVO

[robpasell]

Has anyone found an armband case the fits the EVO yet?

 

[robpasell]

I can say for certain, "stretching" an iPod case will not work.

You may as well be lifting weights if you're going to put an Evo on your arm.

I am probably overprotective of my Evo, but if you think running with an extra 6oz is like lifting weights, you must have Zero body fat and you are at the top of your run game. On my 225lb frame, 6oz here or there means nothing.
I would love to find an armband that fits. I have looked but nothing screams buy me yet.

ROTFL I cannot believe you guys are even discussing that!! ii

I'm also looking for a better case. I found an iPhone case that will hold the EVO, with about a quarter inch of the EVO sticking out of the top. It's not bad, but a case designed specifically for the phone would be better..

If anyone else needs one before they have EVO-specific armbands available, though, I found my iPhone one in the athletics section of Wal Mart, and the packaging is open so you can test to see how the phone fits before you buy. The ones in the cell phone section were all too small.

I bought iarmband and its great, I bought the universal one, it works with the touchscreen etc. You might give it a try.

I use an Amphipod pouch in a fuel belt. Works great, running average of 8 miles every morning listening to bbc and espn Live. Right now going out the door for 15 miles with my Evo.

I bought the iarmband too. I run with it every day. It fits but I have to take my bodyglove case off. No complaints though. If one comes out a bit bigger with some storage to put a key, money, etc in it I'll buy it.

I ordered one of these a few days ago. If I remember, I'll update when I get it with whether or not it's worth it.

No luck for me either

I have looked everywhere for a decent armband or waitband for my EVO. I'd really like to jog with it using Cardio Trainer. It is a big phone and I need a solid way to carry this thing for 3-5 mile jogs. I'd also prefer not to sweat this thing out! I have the Seidio Innocase II and holster which I cannot say enough positive things about...great case!....but not suitable for jogging.

I use CardioTrainer with the iArmband. I've logged 80 miles in the last month with it. The hole to plug the headphones in doesn't line up right so it's a bit stretched out but I can't complain.

Let us know how it works when u get it... I need one...

I've been using my wife's old silicone Zune case. It obstructs the front a little but I can still use runkeeper with it.

 

[chaosrecords]

i put mine in my pocket with a silicone sleeve and wear my headphones.

im 6'4" and wear my shorts low.

works fine

I would order it but I don't like how wide the arm band is. It would bother my workouts. I wish the one above it, be it's sold

I looked all over and couldn't find a good one so I went by a local running store and they suggested a SPI Belt. It's like a really small fanny pack that the pocket expands. Its not really easy to take out and change settings but I just start my running playlist and while Cardio Trainer does its count down I stretch it in and off I go. It's very light weight and I sometime forget it's there. The two main issue are 1. It isn't easy to access while running 2. Not the best protection against sweat.

 

[jgladstone]

That SPI belt looks like a good way to go for me. I can handle not being able to access it while running. I also noted that they have a waterproof version if you prefer. I am going to order one tonight....solved!
