I would like to know how good the velcro is? Does it last? How long? Does it have a strong grip or the armband slides down the arm?

The velcro so far has been good no problems there. this should last you for a while, yes it does have a strong grip. I use it with no shirt and run a mile 3 times a week no problem with it sliding. Its more confortable when you have short it does its job, i wont be replacing it any time soon. If you are not picky this will work for you.

The Velcro is fantastic. The armband is easily adjusted and stays in place pretty well. This is the best of 4 armbands I have owned.

The armband is pretty solid. It is about 2" wide with lots of velcro and holds firmly. The armband is actually more sturdy than the iphone holder (which is made of soft pliant rubber - and also works quite well.) I've had no problems with the armband on my long runs, and I run at a fairly brisk pace. The only minor negative that I've experienced is that the armband clasp might sometimes dig into your arm - but that's easily resolved by adjusting the clasp position.

The Velcro is extremely strong & durable. It's so strong that it's almost difficult to undo (not a negative). My first one I used for 3 years. The only reason I purchased a second is because I switched devices. I've had my new one for almost a year, I workout 5 days a week & sweat a lot! It doesn't shift or slide, even during high impact workouts. Would highly recommend.

I've had mine for about a month now and the Velcro is still strong! I use it about 4-6 times a week. The grip is strong if you adjust it right and it won't slide down your arm. But it's all about how tight you make it.

I've had them for a little over a year. Velcro is still all good and I really enjoy them, it works!

Yes, I have used this band for over a year jogging and sometimes mowing the lawn. It has held up great and is a good as the day I bought it. Have no complaints about it at all. There is room for the phone with its case on which is why i purchased it. I did not want to have to take the case off when I ran. The touch screen works well through the plastic. I have an iPhone 5 but do not see any reason your experience with a Galaxy or any other phone would not be the same. Enjoy.

The strap is adjustable and mine has never slid down my arm. It really just depends on how tight you have the strap done!

It has velcro strap slide up your arm and tighten strap. It feels more comfort if phone facing away from body. Hope this helps

I sweat a lot when I run my longer runs. It held up just fine. I live in a dry climate so I can't answer about the humidity. I had another armband that had a lot of condensation, but this one allows my iPod to bresthe eliminating any condensation.

I'm 5'3", 135 lbs, and wear it on my forearm. I've had no problems with it sliding down; however, I've only worn it during cold weather here so far, and it's been on top of UnderArmor. I have not had a chance to wear it directly on my skin. And the strap is adjustable with 2 different slits you can put the band through.

It will break if you simply wear it. The armband is worthless. I replaced it more times than I should have bothered before giving up and tossing the whole thing in a drawer.

My Mybat armband adequately protected my phone from sweat. I occasionally run in light rain and that was never a problem either. However, one of the plastic brackets that the strap runs through broke while I was running. The armband, which I used only for running, lasted me about 13.5 months. With three 25-minute runs per week, that works out to about 160 runs. On the other hand, I only paid about $6, including shipping costs, for this product.

Yes! It stays on the arm very well. You can adjust the Velcro to be as tight or as loose as you want.

I wear mine on my forearm and it stays put fine. I took a measurement, and with the Velcro attached to about an inch overlap, it should easily fit as much as 17-inch biceps with a bit of stretch.

I have used it for light running, and the velcro straps are very strong. I don't know how well it does if you are going to do long distance or sprinting.

Yes it does. Also has a velcro closure belt you can use to wrap it around your arm.

The Velcro has held up fine so far for me, i can't remember if there were different sizes but there is not a lot of extra left at the end after fastening so if you have a large bicep you may want to consider that. I think my bicep is about 11".....

It has good grip. Just if you play games on your phone for a long time. You know how your hand gets sweaty. Once it gets sweaty just dry your hand and case and you will be good.

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.
