Great Product - great product, scooters


I never give reviews but this scooter is awesome. I did a lot of research regarding scooter designs before I purchased the maxi's for my boys. I bought the maxi for my 5 1/2 year old and my almost 4 year old. I called the company and the only difference between the mini and the maxi is it is a little longer and a little heavier. The handle bar can be dropped to be the same height of the mini. The scooter is fast, easy to turn and intuitive to use. Be careful, they do go quite fast. The braking design is also easy to use and effective. Don't waste money on the other cheap styles. If your child really wants a scooter this is the best out there. Believe me, I have looked and have done hours of research. maxi kick Scooter - LIME GREEN with T-BAR Steering. Winner of the Oppenheim Gold and Platinum Seal Awards 2009

We love our kickboard scooters! We have a small mini-kick for my daughter who is three and recently purchased a maxi-kick one as an early Christmas present for my six year old son. My neighbor received two of them as gifts for her boys (2 & 4 at the time) last year. They are ALWAYS out riding them and absolutely loved their mini-kicks.



My son has always had difficulty with balance and the regular Razor scooter has been to difficult for him, basically killing his confidence in riding a scooter. We purchased a mini-kick first for our little girl, but our son was riding it (and he's really too big). So, we decided to purchase the maxi-kick as an early christmas present. This is one of the best investments we have made in a long time. He rides it all the time, the neighborhood kids think it cool, and it's actually difficult for them, because it's a bit different to ride and control than regular scooters.



The design feature that I like best and makes it different from others is the two front wheel "lean and steer" feature and the back wheel brake. This has helped improve his balancing ability. It's also extremely durable, but light-weight.



Although they are expensive, I highly recommend this scooter. It has been a great confidence builder for our son and worth ever penny.

Highly recommended, children love this scooters. We had small and large,for 3 y.o and 5 y.o, but when little one lost her scooter, we got larger one and moved T-bar in lower position. They use them even in the appartment.

First day he had to get used to the brake and overall control but now (4 days later) it's his favorite way to get to school. The best part is I have to jog a bit to keep ahead of him to check for cars. So, it's a win for both of us.

I bought this for my 4 1/2 year old granddaughter. At first she had a bit of trouble with it but she figured it out in less than a day and now she loves it. Since she is at the lower age range for this scooter, I was afraid it might be too big but it is fine and, assuming it stands up to use, she will be able to use it for several years. I also got the mini-kick scooter for her 2 year old brother and they both love them and ride them everyday.

I ordered the Maxi Kick scooter with T-bar for my 5 year old daughter who's very tall and struggles with balance and agility. Much to our surprise, she had it mastered in one day and has been zipping all over the neighborhood ever since. The wide base and extra wheels help kids feel more secure and the T-bar adjusts giving us plenty of room to grow. The 8 year boy who lives next door likes riding it and has really tested it's sturdiness. With the T-bar at the lowest height, it fits our 3 year old neighbor. It's sturdy and easy to assemble by just snapping the vertical piece into the base. The two pieces can be disassembled just as easily and they fit into a medium size suitcase. We took our Maxi Kick with us on vacation. Another plus for city dwellers who do a lot of walking is that our daughter happily travels much greater distances with us on foot without complaining of being tired. This is great for little kids who have outgrown the stroller stage but can't walk long distances. This toy is expensive, but worth every penny in my opinion.

Got this for 4 year old son who is super tall and thus could not use the normal "preschool age" scooters that you would find at a Toys R Us. It is more expensive that the typical scooters, but I think my son will use it for some time. The t-bar extends high enough that I can even use it (I am 5'10"). He is much more confident on it given the three wheels (we previoulsy bought a two wheeler that just sits in the garage).



Overall, glad I got it for him. We even take it with us to the local outdoor malls so he can practice balancing, turning, etc.

We gave this scooter to my son for his 6th birthday. He absolutely loves it! The scooter is very well made, durable and well surpasses all other scooters. The steering system is amazing- not even comparable to a "razor" scooter. It's easy to ride and is much smoother to ride than other scooters. I wasn't sure if the Maxi would be best or the Mini, but I'm glad I purchased the Maxi for my 6 year old. The size fits him well and he'll be able to use it for years.

We love it and it's worth the money.

We wanted a scooter for our 3-years old, and, initially, it looked like the MINI would be a better choice, with claims of more stability and easier handling for a younger child. Having bought the MINI we did not like it quite as much - it felt flimsy, the handle does not extend.



We went into a store and compared it with the MAXI, and we were quite surprised that we found the MAXI to be more stable. This is in part because it has a double wheel in the rear (the MINI has a single wheel), and in part because it's a bit heavier and sturdier. Plus, it will grow with our child because we can adjust the height of the handle bar.



The little extra weight is absolutely no problem, because your toddler is not be *carrying* the scooter for long distances. The weight only matters for lifting the fallen scooter off the ground, but this is when the difference in weight is almost impossible to perceive, because the scooters are bottom-heavy, and the child will be lifting it by the handle bar.



Our kid loves the scooter and was able to use it from day one. The fact that the handle bar does not turn is very important and is the main difference between this scooter and those made by the competitors. Larger front wheels are also very nice as they handle little bumps in the road quite confidently. If anything, I'd love for the front wheels to be even a little bit bigger. Our son learned to steer by tilting the handle bar in two or three days, and is now enjoying speedy rides in the local city park. He also learned braking by stepping on the rear brake.



The bottom line is that the only thing MINI has going for it is the lower price, but if you consider that if you buy the MINI then you'd be likely buying two scooters as the child grows, then the price difference doesn't matter all that much. - Kickboard - First Scooter - Great Product - Scooters'

Mischievous Children - vin diesel, comedy


Vin Diesel had a choice when "Pacifier" was offered to him. He could star in this low-budget release or return for "XXX State of the Union." Mr. Diesel opted to do "Pacifier" because he'd have the opportunity to make a film that his children could watch and enjoy with him--unlike his previous releases which he considered too violent.



Surprise, "Pacifier" isn't just for kids. While there is a "family feel" to the film, there's enough action and suspense to keep the adults on the edge of their seats. Besides, the whole film is surprisingly funny as well.



Vin Diesel stars as a Special Ops soldier who lost a famous scientist on a mission. When he's assigned to guard the scientists' children while their mother is away, Diesel is triply determined to make sure the kids are safe. The children pose their own problems: the son dresses as a Nazi (turns out he's secretly gotten a part in "Sound of Music"), the daughter is having problems learning to drive, the baby just really doesn't know what's happening. Everyone's traumatized by the loss of their father--and having such a rough-and-ready guardian is hard on all of them. But, they band together when the family's at risk.



Overall, an excellent film with a lot of good messages for children. Plus, a lot of laughs. Kudos to Vin Diesel. This little-known film actually shows a lot of depth in his ability to act that we have not seen before. The Pacifier (Full Screen Edition)

If I had children between 5-12, I'd suggest they see this. It is "Kindergarten Cop," "Uncle Buck," and "Mr. Mom," with a light "Mrs. Doubtfire" thrown in. It is not as good as any of those, but I am not 10 years old. Your young boy or girl will love it.



It is a mix of slapstick, family style humor and situation gags. Nothing in the story will surprise moviegoers, but nothing will offend them either. It is a fun, decent, average 1960s-style Disney film.



The plot:

Shane Wolfe (Vin Diesel), Navy Seal, is assigned to protect the family of a slain scientist. Their home may have a special device the enemy wants. The mother is out of town trying to open a safe deposit box, and Shane's stay last longer than expected.



Shane, muscle-bound and bald, looks intimidating. He's tough, a "leave no man behind" kind of guy. All man. As a protector/babysitter, he runs aground into all of the expected gags. He changes a diaper with typical disgust, drives the kids to school, and feeds them dried MREs (Meals Ready To Eat). Parenting is new, and he starts learning.



He catches a boyfriend sneaking in, and has run-ins with the wresting coach, played by huge Brad Garrett. Some minor subplots about relating to the children bring a few laughs and "awes."



It isn't really an action movie, not beyond a few "Home Alone" scenes.



Vin Diesel shows he can act here, and occasionally shines in a few sequences. When he finds the code in the "Peter Panda Dance," we see an indication that there's hope for him in a better movie that relies on his personality more than his biceps.



Critically, from an adult perspective, Brad Garrett was not believable as a wrestling coach, and Lauren Graham as the military women-turned-principal did not work. It was as much of a casting problem as it was a writing and directing issue.



Brittany Snow as oldest daughter Zoe Plummer is great. She plays the character honestly, and within her ability. There a Hillary Duff aspect to her, with an edge. Unfortunately, Faith Ford as her mom, Julie Plummer overplayed her. Luckily, we only suffer with her in a few scenes.



Oldest son, Seth Plummer, is likewise overplayed by Max Thieriot, who seems like he was handed the roll for growing up in Hollywood. His conversion from weak trench coat outsider, to thespian acting in "Sound of Music," was more than a stretch.



The nanny, Helga, played by Carol Kane, is given terrible lines. Remembering her in "The Princess Bride," I shuddered as she tried to squeeze out comedy.



The movie is disposable, and will not rank among Disney's best movies. However, it shows that Disney is willing to toss a few dollars into a movie that is clean, with a message that is pro-family, pro-parents, pro-father, and old fashioned fun.

Vin Diesel is a Seal. He rescues and important scientist the plan goes South. Now the government wants to get the scientist's work by takinging the wife to a Swiss vault. Diesel is assigned to guard the rest of the family for the two days the mother is away. It should be an easy assignment but this is no ordinary family. The kids are nothing but trouble (at home and at school) and the nanny gives up. To make matters worse, the mother's trip gets extended. Now Diesel is in for the long haul in an area he has no experience with.



We get plenty of scenes of Diesel being dumbfounded by civilians and their lack of discipline. But eventually Diesel begins to deal with the issues one by one. There are the individual kids, the scouts, school, the principal and vice-principal, sports teams and even enemy agents after the scientist's work. Eventually Diesel rises to the top as things are put straight.



Diesel's inflexible military ways really take a beating for the civilian influence in this movie. While the film does tough on the typical clueless-man meets diapers, it also moves into new territory such as pectoral development and how it is viewed by the young. Overall I found this a surprisingly well-written film with more than a few surprises. The supporting cast was well chosen thus strengthening the whole film. Check it out.

I was in the military for 8 years and loved it. I was in the field artillary as a forward observer. The biggest reasons why I loved this movie was because of Vin Diesel, and because of the military terminology (front & center, do you copy, ect.) The only thing wrong that caught my attention was in the beginning of the movie where Shane Wolfe (Vin Diesel) was briefing his troops about the upcoming mission to save Mr. Plummer, he was a few feet away from the other troops and he was more or less yelling. That's the only thing that was in this movie that would never happen. A friend of mine didn't like the jet ski scene shortly after that, but for me, this movie touched a little on every one of my senses (action, tender moment, family, good fight scene, excellent dialougue, the lone hero (ex: Riddick, Blade) I would suggest this film to anyone of any age. I work at a hotel full time and talk to guests of all ages, and of the people that have seen it, all have liked it. - Vin Diesel - Adventure - Comedy - Dvd'

Fine Motor Skills


This is good for ADULTS, who are right handed. I got them for my daughter, who is learning to write. Too big.



I'm left handed, I thought I could use them. They are awkward to use left handed, the company claims you can use them with either hand, there is a (R) and (L) printed on 2 faces.



Put your thumb on the respective letter, and that is the correct way to hold it.

They are ergonomically molded for righties. Right handed they feel fine. Left handed, not so much. The Pencil Grip Ergonomic Writing Aid, Assorted Colors, 6 Count Polybag (TPG-11106)

I USE THESE ALL THE TIME AS I HAVE CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME AND ARTHRITIS. I HAVE TO WRITE A GOOD PORTION OF THE DAY. IT ALLOWS ME NOT TO HAVE TO GRIP MY PEN SO HARD. I ALSO GIVE THEM TO OTHERS TO USE WHO HAVE HAND WEAKNESS FROM A STROKE OR INJURY AND TO PEOPLE WITH PAINFUL FINGERS FROM RHEUMATOID OR OSTEOARTHRITIS. THEY ALSO FIT MOST PENS. THE TRIANGULAR SHAPED GRIPS ARE TOO LARGE AND MOST PENS SLIP THROUGH THOSE.

This form is asymmetrical so it's not possible for it to work the same the same way for left handed people as for right handed people. When I hold it in my right hand, my fingers fall naturally into place, but it's not the same for the left hand. Just because they added a letter "L" on it, does not make it a good product for lefties. We liked the twist n' write penagain children's pencils - they are helping my daughter to correct her pencil grasp.

I purchased these for my six year old who has had problems from the beginning with holding her pencil properly. Even after two years in a private school, she held the pencil wrong, thus making it hard for her to write cursive letters properly. After two weeks of practice with these, her penmanship improved significantly; and although she still uses them in school, I have noticed that she holds crayons and other writing instruments properly without the Pencil Grip. If your child has trouble holding a pencil properly, these will get him/her on the right path. Expect some resistance at first since it will feel strange to them and they may complain that their hand hurts a bit until the muscles in the fingers get used to the new positioning. This product really works!!

I have a six years old lefty kid, and he has been having trouble with the grip. This aid has helped him to be aware of the way he has to position the fingers to make writing easier. However, it's kind of difficult at the beginning to make him use it, but once he is used to it... you can see the difference.

My 5 year old son was having trouble learning to hold his pencil correctly. As soon as I put this on his pencil he immediately started holding it right, and he loves using it becuase it makes writing so much easier! Also love the softness of it makes it very comfortable to use.

I bought this for my 4 year old who was having trouble with her grip on pencils and pens. This corrects the problem and allows her to hold correctly without hand over hand help. I think it would be a great tool for all kids.

I teach first grade and believe it or not, the kids not only are old enough to have penmanship problems, but fixing them takes persistence and patience! children can be very picky about what they will tolerate. This grip is soft and yet big enough to encourage the correct pencil grip. It stays on the pencil and doesn't fall off as other often do. These are not for every child - pricey if you were to by many, but for just a few it is possible.

My daughter's school gave her one of these to help with her fine motor skills. It really helps her to hold a pencil comfortably and with minimal muscle tension. Great for anyone that has trouble holding a slim pen or pencil. They seem to be quite durable.'

Fast Gun


I bought this nailer a couple of weeks after hurricane Katrina in preparation for the work ahead rebuilding some of my house. I've driven about 4000 nails and it has worked flawlessly. I've framed walls, hung sheathing, nailed decks and rafters. It has set every nail from 2" to 3 1/4" with no problems. I've also nailed some ceiling joist when the wood was too old/hard to nail by hand ... no problems. I have not tried 3 1/2" nails yet but from the performance I've experienced so far, I don't expect those to be a problem. The nailer has double fired on a couple of occasions but I was in tight situations where my arm movement was restricted and I'm sure that was the cause. I've read some really good reviews about Hitachi nailers but if I had it to do over I would buy the Senco FP602 again. I highly recommend this gun. Senco FramePro 602 Full Round Head Sequential Nailer

I bought one of these nail guns about three years ago and now I am shopping for a replacement. Although I have used Senco nail guns for more than 20 years, my new nail gun will not be a Senco. The owner's manual is generic, covering a wide range of Senco models but not this particular model. When it jammed (and it does jam), I had to phone Senco to find out how to free the jam. Although the older Senco nail guns had an easy system for freeing a jam, this one does not. You have to take the lower part of the gun apart. I cannot get the depth adjustment to work consistently. Sometimes it sets a 16 penny nail correctly and sometimes it does not.

I'm using this nailer for a couple of years now. Very powerful and easy to use nailer. However, there are some disappointment. First the nail magazine is too weak(thin aluminum) and it gets bent so easy the nail strips won't go in. You have to gently hammer it to straighten it out to fix that problem. Also the dry fire protection activates too early. There are some nails still left and it won't work until you load another strip. Other than that, it has good balance, agressive tow nailing tip, lots of power to sink nails without stopping. I will still use it, but I'll go for Hitachi next time.

Refurbished unit did not work from the get-go. Took it to the authorized service center in Denver where they lubed it up and restored to working order. Was told the Refurb units often sit on the shelf for extended periods and *dry out*. Worked well for small framing job...about 500 nails. Sat on the shelf for a year after that, then attempted to use again....no luck.

Guessing it would work well purchased as a new unit and used consistently.'

Packing Tape - packing tape


I bought this tape mostly for packaging small item's I sell online - mostly dvds - and it's a great value for such applications. This tape isn't designed for sealing up heavy boxes of electronics, glassware, etc; even lightweight, non-fragile items like clothes, if packed tightly in a huge moving box would be better sealed with a stronger tape, which usually comes in shorter rolls, since the tape is so much thicker. If that's what you need tape for, buying the very cheapest, longest length tape you can find, probably isn't the best idea.



Even double or triple taping a heavy box isn't going to be as safe as using a stronger tape that's either thicker or reinforced with fiberglass or material strands. It's about using the right tool for the job and this tool was made especially for small, lightweight packaging. I've used it for larger, medium weight boxes too - like shipping a dvd player or some item under 20 lbs - without reservations as to how well it would hold up, but I wouldn't even consider it for sealing a big box full of dishes during a move, or shipping a 50 pound surround sound receiver that cost 1k or more to replace.



Like I said, this tape is ideal for my primary application, which is shipping dvds, whether in a cardboard box or bubble mailer. In fact, I trust the tape more than I do the self-sealing sticky strips on most bubble mailers or priority mail flat-rate boxes. This tape is actually better than the last pack of similarly priced Scotch brand tape I bought; at least the adhesive is stronger, though it's about just as flimsy, which is fine if you have the proper dispencer, but can be wasteful, not to mention aggravating, if just using your hands and a pair of scissors. While expectedly flimsy considering it's thinness, it's not as fragile as some generic, non-name brands I've tried in the past. This is USPS approved packaging tape.



While this tape isn't marketed as being crystal clear, it's transparent enough to cover shipping labels without obscuring the shipping details (address, postal barcode, etc); at only one or two layers thick, the tape still looks almost perfectly clear and also appears clearer than the Scotch brand I bought last time. LePage's USPS All Purpose Packaging Tape, 2 inches x 110 yards , 6 Pack (82302)

I own a business and have been packing boxes for over 12 years, This stuff is crap, You cannot even get it off the roll without it splitting all apart. Worthless in my opinion no matter how inexpensive it might seem.

Have purchased these before but find that the quality has fallen. If you aren't careful, when you peel the tape, it will split down the center and you've wasted tape - ugh! Overall, though, once you've gotten it peeled, it holds great.

I bought this tape for a cross-country move. It is not terribly sticky, and so thin that I have had to use 2-3 times as much as I would have with good-quality tape. The extra time and layers mean that this tape is no bargain at all. Being so thin, it also tends top fold sideways on itself. Cannot recommend it!

I bought this for shipping small to medium boxes and it did not disappoint. Shipping tape keeps going up in cost and when I saw this tape as a lightening offer, I thought I'd try it. I was a little worried when I read someone mentioned an odor with this product because I am very sensitive to odors. At first I noticed nothing, but after a while I did notice it has a smell, but it was very slight. The tape itself was easy to work with and never got stuck to itself. I would order this again.

This product is exactly as described. It is definitely low to medium grade quality, but it is listed as that so there were no surprises. The packing tape does what it's supposed to do. I have no complaints. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a reliable, cost-effective packing tape for everyday use. A+++

This tape was a good deal for me because you get alotta taper and i use alot,its pretty thin but it does say light duty and for what i use it to ship it works fine ,for taping lables on shipping poly bags it will last me awhile. However the only this i dont like about the tape is... I got it thinking i would go find any dispenser to fit a 2" tape roll and in the long run save money instead of getting less rolls with a holder..this tape say its 2" tape but if y zoom in which i didnt its 1.89" so when i was looking for a tape roll it wasnt easyer to find!, i did find one that came with tape but its a crappy dispender, but i think a 2" dispender may work but i didnt try one..Far as tape goes you kinda do need a good dispenser it tends to be hard to lift up off roll once let go without taring it usually,it is light weight ,a dispenser to hold it in place or if you just folded it over would save you tape and time ive wasted alot because it splits - Packing Tape'

Bath Accessories - feet, bath


Lots of hype over the TV-advertised foot scrubber, but reviews blast the company as being remarkably dishonest. This is a great alternative to the heavily advertised version. More expensive up front, but no dishonest misrepresentation or deception. Works great. My feet never felt better. Arthritic back makes it painful to bend over to reach my feet. Using this, I don't need to bend over. Scrubs my feet very well. Avivo Shower Sandal Footscrubber

I agree with the other review. This is a great idea. But there are a few things that keep it from being perfect.



This brush is obviously not designed for a grown man's feet. I have size 12 feet and while scrubbing, I bang the top of my foot on the crossover. I haven't broken the skin but it does hurt a little. Also it doesn't stick to the bathtub very well. So the brush tends to move around when you're scrubbing. You need to use a liquid soap. No way for bar soap to work. I use old, leftover soap that I melt in hot water & put in old shampoo bottles. You could use liquid body wash. But why?



If they could make one in a larger size & find a way to make it stick better, I would give this 5 stars. But it does the job well enough as is.

I purchased the Avivo Shower Sandal Footscrubber for my father, a six foot three burly cop who is generally impossible to buy for, and he absolutely loves this product as he no longer has to struggle in a cramped shower space to scrub the bottom of his feet. If you or someone you know also happens to be a grizzled cop with the build of an Alaskan lumberjack who has trouble washing their feet and is difficult to shop for, I highly recommend ordering the Avivo Shower Sandal. If this hasn't convinced you to buy this product, I don't know what will.

If you have any type of "texture" on the floor or your shower or tub (non-slip surface), this will not stick! I'm still keeping it because I need it due to a knee injury, but in order to use it, I have to jam it into the corner of the shower and hold the back with my other foot while I use it!



I thought the price was high for what you get.

When rheumatoid arthritis flares up, bending my knees is painful, and scrubbing is very painful for my hands. This shower sandal helps. It doesn't stick to the shower floor very well. So I press the shower sandal to the smooth bottom of the plastic Rubbermaid dishpan that I use for soaking my feet. In the shower, having the foot scrubber in the dishpan helps the sandal in place, keeps the soapy water where I want it for washing my feet, and allows me to scrub one foot at a time, and rinse the soap off with a shower wand to avoid slipping around on soapy feet.

This sandal is better than washing my feet without it. I'm in my mid 70s and have spinal arthritis which keeps me from reaching my feet with my hands. The only problem with using is that it doesn't really cling to the bottom of my shower as I expected it to do, buy I'm able to use it by holing it still with one foot as I move my other foot through it (a bit tricky here if one has balance problems).

This foot scrubber is a "Five Toe" in and out of our shower, so we gave it Five Stars. Here's why. It is amphibious-like because we use it in and outside of the shower. It is an effective foot massager placed on the floor next to a chair. If you use this there and your feet are a bit tender, wearing socks may help your feet feel more comfortable. Overall the bristles are bendable enough to soothingly brush over the tickly nerves on the feet. The band over the top and the generous suction cups underneath helps keep the foot snugly in place. Have you noticed that sometimes when soaps run down your legs that the detergent stays on your feet when you get out of the shower? Well, this scrubber takes care of making sure your feet are soap, shampoo, conditioner and shaving foam-free. After a good scrubbing in the shower, and drying the feet and walking about barefoot, the feet feel like they can breathe. Definitely, this product is recommended for everyone, and especially for anyone that needs help reaching their feet. For those who need to sit down when taking a shower and love a good foot massage, this will be a great gift too.

This is not the product I was originally looking for, however its amazing and I love it. No more having to try and reach in a shower to clean my feet with a wash cloth. I know my feet are clean and helps with the dry skin you can sometimes get in the winter.

The product has only one flaw. It slips when you put your foot in and try to clean. It will not stick to the shower floor and you have to hold it with your other foot in order to use it. The suction cups on the bottom are to small and I think that is the reason they want stick. Other than that the sandal is an excellent product and I would highly recommend it. - Massage - Feet - Bath - Foot Massager'

Running Products - iphone arm band, case


I had initially bought the Belkin armband from the apple store. It was a nice piece with some decent features and quality construction. However, since the case for the phone clipped onto the armband, the phone would flop around on my arm while running. Also, the band itself was a little thin with no edge seams. This caused it to dig in a little in places.



So, I bought this one because of it's one piece design, wide contour coming off the case, and rolled seam on the band. In general, it is a great product. It's very comfortable and stays securely in place with no movement. Just a few quality and construction details let it down. The plastic screen cover is sewn on with ripples in it. This makes it hard to see and operate the screen. It's fine with music on shuffle, but if you're trying to watch a video while doing cardio or check on a pedometer app you have running, it's a distinct detraction. In addition, my screen came with a scratch in the plastic, on the inside, which added to this. The armband is also on the short side. My biceps are 15" and I'm left with about 3/4" of strap to fasten.



Give it a little more strap and a smooth, slightly more rigid screen and you'd have a perfect product. Apple iPhone 3G / 3GS Adjustable Black Armband Sports Case Cover by Eforcity

I like this arm band pretty well but the strap is kind of small. It just barely fits around my arm and I'm not exactly a body builder. The material is nice as it keeps sweat and moisture away from your iphone. It holds the iphone snug inside so there's no fear of slipping out and it doesn't flop around while you're running. The touch works fine, you just have to push a little harder but while you're running you probably don't want to be fiddling with things anyway. All in all, I'm satisfied.

i was searching for an armband to workout with and finally settled on this one and I am so glad that I did. This arm band is comfortable and the iphone fits nicely into it. you will of course sweat under this but that is expected and a minor problem is that when the iphone slides into it, it goes down a little farther and the holes dont match up. But I really do use this everytime I work out and love it!

I ordered this a while ago because it was just a couple bucks and to be honest I did not believe it would work. It does its job. I don't have huge arms but they aren't small either and I only have about an inch of slack when I tighten it. So if you have big arms I would consider a different one or look up the length before buying.



But I have had this armband for about 2 years now and still holding strong. Can't beat that for just a couple bucks that I payed for it, and now its 66 cents.

I must echo other's reviews about how tight this thing fits the iPhone. However, I have a Casemate case and clear armor screen protector film and I'm able to fit my iPhone in this armband without removing those. I took a razor blade and cut out the plastic cover and that made it a lot easier. Otherwise you will probably have a hard time slipping the phone in if you have a clear armor (or similar) protective film. And once that film pulls off the phone it's basically toast. But once I snipped the plastic cover off this armband it slips in no problem. I could see how the armband might be too small if you were a linebacker or something. But I haven't had any problems and I'm 6'4 with pretty good sized arms. Not cannons but not bony either. For the price I'd wear the thing on my wrist or forearm if that's what it took.

I thought this product would work well enough for me to jog with it strapped to my arm. But, it is just too bulky. Its not really the products fault. Its the iphone it is carrying. Its not comfortable to jog with. It is hard to touch the screen. Mine just sits on the shelf now. Used it one time. Too much of a hassle. I also have an old Nano with the Nike armband that works great.

It does what I want it to do: hold my Android smartphone while I partake of cycling and/or running. Doesn't slip. Phone feels secure. And, the plastic cover still allows me to use the touchscreen. Considering the price, I got a sweet-ass deal!

I read in all the review, that it was for small-hands. Turned out this was little too big for me.

I am not extremely tiny. I would consider an-average. But there is no-way to adjust if it's too big.
