Anyone have any suggestions / warnings about arm bands they've used with the Razr Maxx? The Otterbox doesn't work too well for running.

Dude...this thing ROCKS.
1: The elastics that fit around each edge of the phone accommodate a lot of sizes. SNUG is my Razr, with or without a case
2: No plastic cover on it so the phone doesn't get trapped in a heat compartment or condensed around.
3: They give you a cover that you can velcro atop the phone if you want to take it out into the rain and such, but you can run without it.
4: I tested this very armband on my last Saturday training run. Phone did not move, jiggle, feel uncomfortable, slip down my arm...NOTHING. Really, I was skeptical about the elastic bands around the corners, thinking that they would have to give when running...not a BIT.
5: The elastic bands are soft and the felt around the sides are soft. No scratching or risk of scratching the screen while running.
6: I run an average of 6:30-7:00, so I'm in no way some slow, slacker runner.\It was great to only worry about it in the first mile (as I was just testing it out) and not even thinking about it for the rest.

Thanks! Great link - and they have a ton of different arm bands. This is the one you are referring to:

The ArmPod looks nice. I might try that for my Razr MAXX. I like how it holds the phone without covering it up, making it easy to access the screen and the controls. From the pictures, it looks like the position of the elastic bands would interfere with the volume controls on the Razr. Does that cause any problems? I mostly use an armband for biking. Sometimes the velcro arm-strap on my current armband comes loose if I go over rough terrain. Any issues with that for the ArmPod?

I'm currently using this armband

, which I have been using at least once a week for about 2 years. It is starting fray around the edges. It worked better for my old Droid X than it does for the Razr maxx.

Tried the one that comes w/ the headphones that's universal & the plastic that you view the phone through is junk! It doesn't flex & barely fits my Razr MAXX. Have to SQueeZE it into the case. Took it back in a heartbeat.

Bought one instead called "soundKASE" model 028DABBK & it fits the phone (w/ out a case). Also has a small slot for a key or to tuck your headphone cables.

Looking forward to when someone develops a case that fits the phone comfortably.

I have seen this one it works good.
