I can't stand armbands...I have a tunebelt. It's simple, just a neoprene belt with a clear front. It also has a small key pocket on the back side.

I'm in love with my SpiBelt (Small Personal Item belt). It's super lightweight, comfortable, and doesn't bounce when I run. I'll even forget I'm wearing it. Also, no arm band tan lines!

I have a New Balance armband as well. It fits just fine and snug. I am 234lbs at 5'7" with an arm measurement of 16 inches. When I first started wearing it, I did notice that I was getting a little tiny sore on my arm. I'm not exactly sure what it was on the armband that was causing it. I think it might have been something to do with the fact that when I go to tighten it, a tiny bit of arm fat gets sucked up into the strap. I'm usually pretty good about pulling the strap off my arm in that area to get the arm fat out, but it may have gotten itself back up in there or I had forgotten. I haven't gotten the sore in a little while now. If you don't have fat arms like mine, it should be fine.

The other thing about the armband is that the clear screen to view your phone gets this film built up in the interior. I haven't been able to figure out how to clean that off. Trying to view your screen while working out is exceptionally hard because of this. But then again, you're working out, so why are you looking at your screen. If you're going to be listening to music, I would suggest making up a playlist so you don't need to try to skip through songs all the time. Touch functions still work perfectly.

I don't find it bulky, but I do find that my arm is more comfortable bent at a 90 degree angle while wearing it. I do more walking than jogging, but this is completely acceptable stance for both. I also have mapmyfittness which allows me to set either a time limit or a distance limit for it to tell me how I'm doing. Every mile I go, mapmyfittness chimes in with the amount of time I have been walking, how far I've gone, minutes per mile, and mph speed. Again, no need to look at my screen.
