Best of the Five Cases I've Used March 13, 2009

(The Tuneband reivew is in the last two paragraphs.) I've been through five cases so far. I also used the iPhone "naked" for a while, but that ended when I dropped it and got a crack in the glass above the screen between the edge and the earphone hole. Sob story aside here's what I've used:
My first case was a black rubber Griffin case that would catch sand and grit and scratched and scuffed the chrome bezel.
Second case was some cheap black silicone case I got off of eBay. It was thin and had an unattractive oval over the earphone.
My third case was a black "rubberized" plastic case by Seido called the InnoCase. It lasted pretty long and looked very good, but the little snaps between the front and back pieces wore out and broke over time. You have to pry the two halves apart when you want to open the case so breaking those snaps is inevitable. Plus it popped completely open when I dropped the phone one time, though to its credit it did somehow prevent damage to the phone.
To replace the Seido I picked up the Marware Sport Grip which to be fair is a very reliable case, but it's ugly. It has a ribbed back which is really unnecessary, the rubber grips fine by itself. The Marware logo on the back is cut deep into the rubber so it collects lint. The rubber over the shutter button is thick and doesn't always line up with the button. The rubber around the screen has a raised edge and comes up against the screen so close that it makes it difficult to touch anything near the bottom. And the hole over the mute switch is too small, so you have to dig your fingernail into the hole to hit it.
So along with my dissatisfaction with the Sport Grip and my decision to pick up an armband I looked around and finally decided on the Grantwood Tuneband. The red one I bought looks very very cool against the black of the iPhone. Weirdly it fits both the iPhone 2G and 3G. I've only had it for just over a week and this is the most satisfied I've been with a case. It's thin and unobtrusive yet tough. When you hold it it feels like plastic but you can bend it easily to get your phone in and out. The case comes right up to the edge of the screen but leaves the home button uncovered so you don't have to lift your thumb to hit it. And the armband slips in an out through two slits on the back with ease. Plus it straps and velcros around my meaty (ok flabby, I'm modest) bicep with ease. The only criticism I have is there are two holes above the screen that aren't necessary, but maybe they're meant for sensors on the 3G I'm not aware of.
If you're trying to decide on an armband get this one, it's the best in form and function. That's my 2¢.
Great product July 10, 2009

I bought Tuneband intending to get a case for both everyday use and workouts. Initially I was disappointed that I have to pull the iPhone out of the case to attach and detach the band, and the case wasn't that convenient for everyday use. Then I realized that it probably wasn't the intention of the designers. I bought another case (Otter Box) for daily use and guess what -- my phone with a case on it fits into the resinous Tuneband and this combination works perfectly for me! Before I go to a workout, I just pop the phone into the Tuneband, and I pull it out when I am done. The armband is great. Very pleased with the product, price was great -- I love it.
Perfect for Running May 28, 2009

Just what I needed for my run. I use fitnio to track my progress and this does a wonderful job holding the Iphone in place and positioning it so that I can see the screen and make adjustments if necessary. The case is quality, as is the band. The band is comfortable and doesn't bother me, even on longer runs. Great job!
New Design is Great! August 19, 2009

I have both the original design and the redesigned model of this iphone 3g case. I own it in purple and it's not too girly - a guy could use this and it wouldn't draw attention to them. The band is a sufficient length for both me and my husband. Some other competing products have bands too short and this one will work with many arm sizes. The first gen of this product moved around quite a bit on my arm when I ran. This updated model stays put and I don't think about it and worry about it. I'm one of those runners who gets distracted easily so I am glad to report that this arm band didn't distract me from my run. Nice updated product Grantwood.
Well designed product September 3, 2009

I'm a beginner runner, and a beginner iPhone 3GS owner. I wanted to try out the Nike+ app with the iPhone, but needed a sportband to be able to feel secure about protecting my new investment. The Grantwood Tuneband is terrific. It's a simple design that does its job. I was concerned at first, because the band barely fit around my flabby arm, but the band is actually made from a stretchy material, which allows for a snug fit, no matter how big or small your "guns" are. The band feeds through the back of a silicone case which holds the iPhone. All of the buttons and functions of the iPhone remain easily accessible. I've used this product a number of times on trail runs, and haven't had any problems at all with the iPhone flopping around on my arm - it stays wherever I put it. I like the product because it's significantly less expensive than other similar products I've seen, and does a great job, so why pay more?
