First off, I am an avid fitness buff and runner. To help keep me energized, connected, and safe, I take my phone with me wherever I go, rain or shine. I upgraded my phone, and had to find a new armband to hold it. That's when I came across the MUV365.
Quality:
- MUV is made of 84% nylon and 16% lycra (never heard of this), which bends to the arm well. It also stretches to accommodate the phone.
- In almost two months of heavy use, at the gym and running, it shows no sign of fraying or tearing.
- Personally, I hate the plastic armbands, or any with velcro, as they are often uncomfortable. This is comfortable all around the arm, with no irritation or scratching.
Look:
- The band is sleek and very fitting, as if it were a regular compression sleeve.
- I like the look of the "MUV," which gives it a sort of militaristic look, if that's what you're into.
Functionality:
- The band fits well, as long as you follow the chart provided. My bicep is in between the S and M sizes, so I went with the smaller one as recommended. However, I should have gone a size up, as I am focusing on building muscle, and so the band is becoming overly tight on my arm.
- The flap that keeps the phone in place is big enough to allow for easy removal, yet holds the phone in place during sprints, being upside down, and more.
- I haven't had to worry about the band slipping off in any way.
- The phone fits in the band, with or without a case. I would not recommend using it with a case if you have a pop socket attached, as it makes the band even more snug, and sometimes catches on the fabric.
- Headphones easily pop out of the flap. However, with my phone, it definitely bends the wire at the base of the connection, due to the design of the phone, and is not a fault of the band itself, in my opinion.
- It is almost impossible to use the phone while it is in the band, but this is not a problem for me, as I just load a playlist and go.
Price:
- Most bands have around a $15-20 price tag, so this fits in nicely.
Warranty:
- Nothing is specifically stated. However, other reviewers noted complete satisfaction with returns if they ordered an incorrect size.
That being said, I hope that this small business continues to offer this product, as chances are I will only buy this product whenever I need a replacement. I would recommend this product to everyone looking for a sleek, secure armband.

Great alternative to the traditional arm band with a few faults
I ordered a small because I was skeptical of it sliding around on my arm. I have the "average" semi-muscular female arm but with my iPhone 7 plus in there, it was way too tight. I'm exchanging it for a medium. It seems well made. Very comfortable and the material is super soft. I look forward to updating my size and getting to try it out. The biggest thing I appreciate is I can work out with my phone without taking off the case to squeeze it into a band and it doesn't advertise my credit cards, etc that rest in a pocket on the backside of my cell phone.**update**I've own this now for nearly two months. I still like the concept of it. I took my rating down a star for multiple reasons. One, the material has faded. I wash it in sports detergent and only work out at night outside or in the gym (live in steamy TX) and always air dry the band but it still looks quite faded compared to its' original bright colors. Second, it is hard to wash the sweat smell out of it. My gym clothes come out fresh but I can not get the band smelling any better. And the last point, which I don't count against it but want to being to other's awareness is that it is not "waterproof". I have to put my phone in a zip lock bag when running outside otherwise my phone is soaked by the time I am done. It heavily retains the sweat so keep this in mind if you're working outside or have the potential of being caught in the rain.
