Is the armband stretchy?

It is not stretchy, but you can make it as big or small you want with the Velcro. (Within the means of the size)

It's stretchy! Has an elastic band. I have a rectangular garbage can that I use and it fits great.

This arm band has some flexibility to fit different size phones, though I would recommend it for an S3. The material can however stretch to fit a phone that is about half an inch longer for a snug fit.

It dose stretch slightly. But I would not really use it for resistant training.

Sorry I didn't respond earlier...had lent out my Band IT. Yes, it is fully adjustable to fit small or big arms...

The widest the armband gets is 14" in circumference. There is also no elasticity in the band.

Yes. I put my phone in a case in the armband. It was one of those plastic snap on cases.

Brenden, No its not stretchy at all, its ripstop fabric which is like a softer Carhartt material.

It's a velcro tab that can attach to the entire length of the armband. The smallest it will adjust to is 7.5 inches (I just measured it).

No, it is not stretchy at all. Time will tell if it sags over time but it is a rather tight weave.

Eh... not really. I personally have to stop and take the thing off. I usually can't see the screen if I'm running in sunlight, and I have to wear it with the screen on the outside of my arm (as opposed to the side closer to my body) to prevent it rubbing in my elbow crease or against my chest. This means I can't see it without loosening it and turning it towards me. It's still probably the most durable and functional armband I've come across. I have reached the conclusion that there's just not a perfect one out there.

No, it's not stretchable. On another note, I didn't like the seat very much and returned the item, I just couldn't get comfortable sitting on it, but you might like using it.

yea its stretchy and it fits me but I have really small arms though. Its actually just a little loose so if you have arms bigger than 8 inches around then I dont think it would fit

To be honest what I have experienced is these bands have been quite stretchy. Not knowing the comfort you are looking for I would go xxl since you will be putting in a phone or Ipod as well into the arm band. This is just my opinion though it's completely up to you.

Nope. There's a plastic part that has the rough, "sticky" side of the velcro - it's approximately 3 inches in length. The rest of it is very stretchy!

no. it is one elastic band...stretchy but provides enough support that it is effective.

Yes it comes with an arm band that is lined with little rubber bumps to hold it in place. I found the lining hot and uncomfortable. But that's a personal preference.
