In this article, we’ll looking at the top three iPhone 4 armbands. These special types of cases keep your iPhone safe and give it extra functionality whilst you’re running or doing other exercises at the gym, similarly to how an iPhone 4 car holder keeps your phone safe and function while you’re driving. Let’s get started right away!
3. Capdase SportArmband
This specialised iPhone case, the Capdase SportArmband is the first in our series, and features a high quality neoprene construction. The armband is hand washable to keep it nice and clean, and is also resistant to water. Your whole phone, including the touch screen, is protected from scratches and water, and is also held in a convenient position for mid-run operation. The strap is snug and comfortable, with little slippage possible. This case is compatible with all iPhones and iPod touches, and allows operation of the touchscreen whilst in use.
The Capdase is a solid contender, covering all of the essentials.

2. Griffin Adidas Mi Coach Armband
This Griffin Adidas Armband has a unique and fashionable look, constructed as it is from stylish grey neoprene. It’s officially licensed by Adidas, and is intended for use with the excellent ‘Mi Coach’ app for iPhone. Your phone is kept snug and secure on your arm, with the comfortable adjustable strap providing excellent security. The Adidas Armband also has a useful easy-access pocket, where you can put your gym or house keys whilst you are jogging or working out.
Overall, it’s a top product with one of the sleekest finishes I’ve seen, although the protection offered isn’t as much due to the screen not being covered. This also means your phone won’t be protected from rain showers. Still, it’s one of the best unique iPhone cases I’ve seen.

1. Belkin DualFit Armband
The Belkin DualFit is an iPhone 4 armband which combines the good lucks of the Griffin Adidas and the feature list of the Capdase. The VELCRO® fastening keeps the armband securely in place, whilst the neoprene construction and screen protector covers the phone and prevents any scratching or water damage. Even with the phone in place though, it can still be used, meaning you can skip tracks on the go.
The fabric used is also breathable and hand-washable, a great plus for any wearable mobile phone accessories. There’s even a reflective slip on the back of the armband, which keeps you safe whilst jogging at night. This is my favourite of the iPhone 4 armbands available, and I would definitely recommend it.

(Before you ask… no, there are no iPad accessories for jogging… we’ve haven’t quite figured that one out yet!)
