I've used a number of running armbands over the past few years. I have tended to go for the ones that have look like a neoprene case with a clear cover that facilitates the touch screen options of the phone screen. I was never really satisfied with them because jamming the phone into the pouch was usually an endeavor, the screen got foggy when I worked out, the earphone port never lined up right, and the touch screen was really touchy. They worked, to some extent, but they never were all that great.
When I saw the Bone Collection Sports Running Armband, I thought it was different enough and inexpensive enough to give a try. I had some concerns that it would fit my phone Samsung Note 8 with protective case, but I thought I'd give it a try. So far, it works great. The armband is easy to get on and off (slip the bands over the four corners); is secure on my arm (no slippage); lightweight; and well made. I'm really impressed with the quality of the materials. There's not much there (rubber piece that holds the phone & neoprene strap), but it appears to be of high quality under close inspection. All my previous issues with fog; touchy controls; and the earphone port lining up are no longer issues. I have yet to encounter any problems with this armband.
A couple of tips. The large band works for arms up to 17". My bicep is 17", and the large band works great. I'm able to put the band around my arm and tighten it with no issues at all. I did purchase the smaller strap thinking that it was an extender - ITS NOT. It's a strap for someone with a very small arm circumference or maybe to attach to your bike or exercise equipment. Next, I clean my band after every workout. I simply rinse the band in the shower and lightly dry with a towel. My past experience with these bands is that they will collect odor after a while; however, I have not experienced that with this band (but again, I rinse it off after each workout). Finally, I have a Samsung Note 8 (somewhat larger phone) that is contained in a protective case. This band works great for my phone with case on. If you have a larger phone (Note, iPhone +, etc), this armband should work ASSUMING that you do not have an exceptionally large protective case (Otterbox). I think the larger cases will cause some issues as the bands can really only stretch so far.
I bought the gray version of this armband. My wife purchased the black version. Both as far as I can tell are exactly the same. No differences in quality, materials, or the phones it can hold (my wife has the iPhone 8+ in a case - no issues). Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. I would purchase again. I would not go back to the other types of armbands.

Best one I’ve owned, iPhone 13pro w/case
I'm using this with an 1Phone 13 Pro with a case, and a small attachment on the back of the case. It fits pretty tight, but does not seem like I'm overstretching it. There's no material movement of the phone once it's placed inside (I worried that the movement from running might shake it around, but it's quite solid. I've done 4 or 5 runs with this and I'm loving it. I've had at least a dozen running bands over the years, and this one is truly the best. Every other case I've had is some variation of the same thing - an arm band with some sort of pouch or sleeve for the phone and a clear plastic cover. Virtually all of them required removing the phone from the case to use. Additionally, with the addition of face recognition to unlock a phone, it seems that it doesn't like to work through the plastic window, which meant I always had to use my pin code to open the phone while out on the trails. This phone solves that problem. Also, my legacy cases were usually some sort of nylon and neoprene which would be kind of gross once you've sweat on them for a while. This one has a thin band, which does get full of sweat, but it's just the band. The larger piece which mounts the phone is silicone, and can just wipe off so you have "less" material dripping in sweat and looking gross. This also has better velcro than several of the bands I've had that would release themselves without a lot of force. This one sticks pretty solidly. The only feature I "miss" from my last band (which didn't last 3 months) was that it had a pocket to store a key fob, license, etc. That obviously adds size and weight, but I had gotten used to putting my key fob in it, and now I have to tie it into my shorts or a zip pocket if I have one. This minimalist design, doesn't support anything like that. Overall, this is great and is certainly the best one I've ever had.

I just returned a similar armband because the straps holding the phone in place completely covered the camera at the top of the screen and the swipe bar at the bottom. I've used this armband for about 10 runs. The armband is designed so that both the camera and swipe bar on my iPhone 12 are accessible. Buttons on the side of the phone are also accessible. Extremely light weight and unobtrusive. Phone fits in securely. Not sure how some reviews indicated that the phone fell out. May not have been strapped in properly or had one extremely active workout. For running it feels very secure. It does sag a little on longer runs but can be easily tightened during the run. After the run it is nice to be able to remove the strap so that you can lay it out to dry. Only issue is face recognition really can't be used when phone is strapped to upper arm. But that would be the true for any upper arm band.
Update: have had armband for nearly 2 years. As seen in the pictures the strap is coming apart making it difficult to thread through the armband. It was still usable though And I was about to purchase additional straps. Today as I was putting my phone in the armband I noticed a tear in a strap that holds the phone (see photo). I couldn’t risk the phone falling out on my run so I ran without it and will need to replace the armband. While this has been a fantastic armband I’m not sure I want to replace it every 2 years.
