I am looking for an arm band that will fit the HTC Hero for sprint. I have saw a generic on Ebay but i am always a little bit skeptical about buying generic cases. Has anyone bought any arm bands for this?? I really want this so that i can workout with it.
 
i bought this (
1
NEW BLACK ARMBAND POUCH CASE COVER FOR HTC HERO PHONE - eBay (item 160384028371 end time Apr-02-10 17:00:38 PDT) ) on ebay a few weeks ago.
works fine for me.


I looked at this one....does it fit snug or what?? I liked it but wasnt sure...

First time poster here (I post sometimes on androidcentral), but to answer the question...
I bought an armband from iarmbands.com. It is the large universal armband.
LARGE ARM Universal fit Arm Band - iArmBands.com - Arm bands for ipods and mp3 players

I use a case also (it's a $5 cheap case from amazon) and it still fits. It's a decent fit (the phone doesn't move around) but there is probably a little room for a bigger case if necessary. The plastic screen for the case is big so you will be able to press everything any button on the screen or hard buttons.
I only have 2 minor gripes:
1) B/c its not made specifically for the hero, the plastic screen of the case isn't a perfect fit and doesn't lie completely flat all the time, meaning sometimes I have to press the screen twice, but the screen is still very responsive (can even change homescreens) .
2)I hate is that it is difficult to change songs while running b/c of no hard buttons to press (not the armbands fault).

I currently can't post a picture because i don't have the armband with me, but I will later if anyone is interested.

Could you post some pictures of your hero in this? I'm doing some training for a marathon and having the ability to track my routes and such and have it automatically be online etc will help me train.

I've found this armband on Ebay, but I'm skeptical, just like the OP.

it fits pretty good.
here are some pictures.
it is easy to remove the phone and easy to put it back.
for a last couple of weeks i have no complains.
