Armband to carry Epic while running

**Johnny.Bravo** · #1 (**permalink**) 10-14-2010, 08:55 PM

My MP3 player is old and needs to be replaced, and I was about to go and buy a new one when I realized....I have one! My Epic! However, I need an armband style case to put it in so I can go running in the morning with it. I found this on eBay:

ARMBAND FOR Samsung Epic - eBay (item 390251588753 end time Nov-11-10 18:49:42 PST)

Has anyone found anything better or know of one that they can recommend?

Arkon Sports Armband for HTC EVO 4G | Arm Band for Sprint EVO 4G

arkon has one for the Evo, should fit the Epic since the Epic is a tap smaller, the price is just a litte bit more.

I am in the process of sending the Arkon armband back. It does not fit the Epic well at all. You can barely squeeze the phone in and the top does not wrap around the back and close correctly. There is nearly a 1 inch gap in the back with the phone in. I was not about to use it with the phone against my skin and sweat pouring directly on it.

Thanks for the update. Looks like that's one to stay away from.

Looks like they either made a new product or just added the Epic to the same old Evo armband.

Oh yeah, no doubt about it. They just added the Epic 4G to the list of phones that this is "compatible" with. Previous post said this is a piece of garbage.
