Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has found a good armband for the iphone4. I want to take it out for running with the micoach app :) anyway, for some reason i cant find the belkin dualfit armband anywhere now... is it a deleted line? a swear a few days ago there were listings for it everywhere on pricespy...

any recommendations for a better one?

It fits the iPhone 4 okay? Not too loose? How much is it?

I think the dual fit was about $23

cant remeber what I paid, wasnt much though. It fits really tightly, no movement at all. The armband is just valcro but its never come off and I use it to run fairly often.

I got my from the Nike shop at Victoria park in Auckland while I was on holiday.

Hm... Wonder where I cud get one... Maybe I'll look at the Nike store in city...

Weren't those made for the iPod touch?

I don't get why there isn't more coverage of things like this... The iPhone is perfect for running with the gps... Mm

I got 3 belkin dualfit armbands just before xmas (via Ingram). Have to say the quality was not the usual belkin high standards - was a bit average I think and very tacky. Tight as to get in, and I would not risk using it out in any damp weather. Paid $22 each for them.

Personally... I think there is something wrong with them... Why else would they not be in stock over Auckland? There used to be online listings for this product all over nz websites but lately (this week) they have all mysteriously disappeared despite the armband being only released late last year...

And in addition ive been waiting 2-3 weeks for one to arrive...

I've been looking at the amphibx by h2o. Waterproof/sweatproof, so great for running/swimming etc. I'm just having a bit of a problem with the price, and the shipping cost.

I think we are both in the same shipment, mid month is when it arrives so add another week for them to send it to the retailer
