Author	Thread: Armband for Blackberry Bold 9000
Matthias Posts: 4	Armband for Blackberry Bold 9000 Posted: 02 Sep 09 8:21 PM Hi community, I am looking for a well fitting sports armband for my Bold. Does anyone have some good advise? It should be weather resistant with access to buttons/keys and a see-through window. There is a huge number for i-phone's, but I am not sure whether they would fit for the bold properly. Any hint welcome! Matthias [Reply][Quote]

Matthias Posts: 4	Re: Armband for Blackberry Bold 9000 Posted: 03 Sep 09 10:56 AM Thanks ekwells, I took a look and yes you are right, they have a wide range. However, an armband for BB is not available. Maybe I have to 'misuse' an i-pod armband. Has anyone experience on that. Especially in regards of weather resistance and how well it fits. It would be bad if the device is loose and hopping with every step I run. Matthias [Reply][Quote]

Matthias Posts: 4	Re: Armband for Blackberry Bold 9000 Posted: 03 Oct 09 3:16 PM So, I've received the armband and used it already twice. The Blackberry Bold squeezes in quite tight, but it fits. The display is fully visible and even the keys can be used roughly, but is somewhat cumbersome and not precise enough. But this was not my intention. My first requirement was to have the device well fixed and exposed to the sky for a proper gps signal. This was fulfilled. The signal is perfect and the armband can be well tightened and is good adjustable at the bizeps. The second requirement is nearly fulfilled: it should be waterproof. Although it is covered by neoprene there are some openings on top and bottom, probably for ear-phones. I don't use it, but I am afraid in cases of hard rain water could go in. But is must be really hard rain I guess. Overall for the price of 15 Euroes I can fully recommend this armband for the bold. Matthias [Reply][Quote]
