Tune Belt Review and Giveaway

March 28, 2014 | fitness, Giveaway, running

A LONG time ago the gracious folks at Tune Belt sent me two belts to try, and they have been SO patient with me while I am just now getting around to writing my review/giveaway post!

 

Typically I really hate to run with anything in my hands, except for at runDisney races where I am constantly taking photos! But at other races, I much prefer to keep my phone in an armband or pouch of some sort. I have tried many different kinds over the years, and I really like what Tune Belt has to offer! First let’s look at on that goes around your waist:

tuen belt2

(By the way they have cases for Apple, Motorola, Samsung, Nokia, and HTC phones). I have an Apple iPhone 4s, with a lifeproof case over it. Here is where one of my FAVORITE features comes in: YOU DON’T HAVE TO TAKE YOUR PHONE OUT OF IT’S CASE FOR IT TO FIT!

That was one thing I always HATED doing with other cases, always worried I would drop my phone while it was “naked” as I took it in or out of my belt/arm band. Never fear, depending on the size of your case, there are four different sizes of pockets. A cool thing about the belt is that it also has a Velcro pocket in the back behind the case for a car key, ID, etc.

I typically don’t like things around my waist, but for someone who doesn’t like armbands or who needs the extra pocket room, this is a great sturdy belt for your phone. Also being able to look down and see my screen was great for changing my music, etc.

Adjustable to fit waist sizes up to 38”-42″ depending on how tightly the neoprene belt is stretched; Extenders are available for larger waist sizes.

My favorite though is the sport armband they sent me, that is adjustable and can fit snuggly on my arm, while my phone is still iit’s case.  I can just pull my arm up to see what’s on the screen, and my headphones easily attach as well. This one is adjustable and fits 9″–17″ and an Armband Extender is available for larger arm sizes. Also, the cord flap securely stores and manages earphone cords.

Not sure which size to get based on your phone? The website has a great guide to help you decide.

    If I were to win, I’d like the try out the armband! I would hope it would allow me to stick my phone in with the Mophie charger on it still!

  2. Joy Hargraves says

    March 28, 2014 at 2:24 am

    I am ALWAYS looking for accessories where I do NOT have to take my phone out of its case!

  3. Kerry says

    March 28, 2014 at 3:48 am

    I’ve had the same problem with armbands, and not being able to fit the phone in while in the case. That’s a great feature to make it roomy enough to hold the case too!

  4. Courtney says

    March 28, 2014 at 3:50 am

    I would like to try the armband!

  5. Danielle @ It's a Harleyyy Life says

    I need a new armband. does it fit an iphone5?

    • Heather says

      March 28, 2014 at 7:10 am

      Yes it the website has info on all the models it fits and there are a lot!

      • Joe says

        March 28, 2014 at 7:29 am

        The armband looks pretty sweet. It’s cool to be manufacturers making cases that are custom built for a specific type of phone.

  6. Amanda says

    March 28, 2014 at 4:14 am

    I’d wear the belt.

  7. Leah H. says

    March 28, 2014 at 4:40 am

    I am all about the arm band!

  8. Heather @fitncookies says

    March 28, 2014 at 5:52 am

    Tough decision.. I would like a belt, but at the same time, I’m nervous it wouldn’t stay around my waist so I guess I would choose the armband! This looks awesome though!

  9. Stacey Niedzwiecki says

    March 28, 2014 at 5:09 am

    I love the fact that both do not require you to take your phone out of its case. It such a pain to take my phone out of my Otterbox every time I go running.

  10. Tara says

    March 28, 2014 at 6:34 am

    I love that you don’t have to take your phone out of the case! I’d prefer to try out the belt, I’ve been getting annoyed with my current armband and I’m considering getting rid of it all together.

  11. Jennifer says

    March 28, 2014 at 5:42 am

    Armband!

  12. Mindy @ Road Runner Girl says

    March 28, 2014 at 6:43 am

    I’d love the armband!

  13. sarah says

    March 28, 2014 at 5:52 am

    If I were to win, I’d prefer to get the belt. I’d love a belt that fit my phone… Since I’ve upgraded my phone, some of my belts no longer fit my phone.

  14. Kim Frey says

    March 28, 2014 at 6:35 am

    I would like the waist band style

  15. Meg B says

    March 28, 2014 at 7:53 am

    I would like to try a waist belt!

  16. Karen :0) says

    March 28, 2014 at 6:59 am

    That’s the same arm belt I wear and love it! I especially love that you don’t have to take it out of its protective case to fit in the pocket!

  17. Sabrina says

    March 28, 2014 at 8:04 am

    I think I would like to use the belt if I were to win. Question though… did it ride up or bounce around while you ran? I have a belt right now but it I never feel like it is secure and it very annoyingly bounces around when I have it on!

    • Heather says

      March 28, 2014 at 8:13 am

      I wore it really low on my hips and really tight so it didn’t really move

  18. Allison says

    March 28, 2014 at 8:20 am

    This is so cool! I usually just either hold my phone when running which is annoying or put it my shorts band but that’s also annoying and it slips!

  19. Samantha says

    March 28, 2014 at 8:49 am

    I would love to try the armband!!

  20. Jenn @ Fairest Run of All says

    March 28, 2014 at 8:55 am

    I’ve never tried a belt – so this would be my chance!

  21. Aly says

    March 28, 2014 at 10:05 am

    I have only ever used armbands that I have become so used to them, but it is a pain to see your phone while running!

  22. Lauren says

    March 28, 2014 at 9:35 am

    I’ve always wanted to try a belt. Always game to try new stuff out.

  23. Caitlin @ RunMimsie says

    March 28, 2014 at 10:41 am

    I already use (and Love!) their arm band…I’d totally try the belt now…It is hard to see the screen when it’s on your arm.

  24. Betsy says

    March 28, 2014 at 9:59 am

    I’d prefer the armband. I haven’t found one yet that fits my arm. I’ve never tried a belt though, so I wouldn’t rule that out.

  25. Heather H says

    March 28, 2014 at 1:30 pm

    I just got started with running outside and the arm band one would be perfect for me.

  26. Amanda says

    March 28, 2014 at 2:28 pm

    I would love the arm band. I can’t stand belts!

  27. Erin says

    March 28, 2014 at 2:43 pm

    I am an arm band mind of gal! Neat product!!

  28. John says

    March 28, 2014 at 3:49 pm

    Nice. Always love the reviews to see new gear.

  29. Britt @ Fit Fit Britt Britt says

    March 28, 2014 at 4:42 pm

    I would LOVE an armband where I can leave my phone in its case!

  30. Laurel C says

    March 28, 2014 at 9:24 pm

    Probably the belt!

  31. Krysten Moore says

    March 28, 2014 at 9:01 pm

    I think the armband

  32. Brooke says

    March 28, 2014 at 11:09 pm

    Probably the belt but really either is nice!

  33. Kathryn @ Dancing to Running says

    March 29, 2014 at 6:49 am

    I would love to find a new armband. The one I currently use requires that I take my phone out of my case, and like you, I’m always afraid that its going to lead to my phone being dropped and/or broken.

  34. Kaitlin C says

    March 29, 2014 at 6:22 am

    I’m new to running and I’ve been researching belts. This Tune Belt looks great and I’d love to try it!

  35. Monica says

    March 29, 2014 at 7:07 am

    I usually wear a belt, but I’d like to try the armband.

  36. Amy says

    March 29, 2014 at 7:17 am

    Belt please

  37. Charissa Wynn says

    March 29, 2014 at 8:29 am

    If I were to win, I would want the belt. I have worn running belts in the past and they are comfortable for me. However, I am worried how the arm band would feel.

  38. Jessica Barringer says

    March 29, 2014 at 5:20 pm

    Yay! Thank you! Now I won’t drop my phone all the time!

    (That’s what I would say if I won).

  39. Allison Dailey says

    March 29, 2014 at 9:04 pm

    I would love to try the belt!

  40. Amanda says

    March 29, 2014 at 8:37 pm

    I would love to try the armband!

  41. Michael says

    March 30, 2014 at 8:19 am

    I prefer the belt, nothing on my arms or in my hands.

  42. Jen A says

    March 30, 2014 at 1:40 pm

    I would try the armband if i won since i already wear a spibelt but it doesnt fit my phone.

  43. BreannaS says

    March 30, 2014 at 3:15 pm

    I would want the arm band for sure. For years I used the case that came with my ipod to carry my music while working out. I really like having it within easy reach and I could wrap the extra cord from the headphones around it. Sadly my arm band broke and I couldn’t fix it.

  44. Amanda says

    March 30, 2014 at 8:58 pm

    I prefer the armband!

  45. Jane says

    March 30, 2014 at 11:43 pm

    The belt!!!

  46. Sarah says

    March 31, 2014 at 8:57 am

    I would give it to my husband. He is in desperate need of a new armband/belt for his iPod.

  47. Stephanie @ Athlete at Heart says

    March 31, 2014 at 1:14 pm

    I usually use an armband but wouldn’t mind trying the belt!

  48. Crystal says

    March 31, 2014 at 2:19 pm

    Always looking for a easy way to hold my phone. I haven’t been successful with armbands in the past (probably because my phone is so big!) Would love to win! 🙂

  49. Lisa says

    April 1, 2014 at 4:13 am

    I would try the belt. Arm bands just don’t work for me.

  50. Kasey says

    April 1, 2014 at 8:20 am

    I’d pick the belt! Also LOVE that you don’t have to take your phone out of its case to fit – that’s my big worry too 🙂

  51. Sanny Kim says

    April 1, 2014 at 10:30 am

    I would definitely try the armband

  52. Ashley Zinchuk says

    April 2, 2014 at 11:15 am

    Hi Heather!

    Congratulations on your pregnancy, I’ve been reading your blog for awhile but I don’t usually comment. You look great! All three of my sister-in-laws are pregnant right now and due within 5 weeks of each other in April/May, so I can appreciate some of you’re going through being around them! The armband sounds awesome, thanks for giving the info on it!

    Best,

    Ashley

  53. Valerie Martin says

    April 2, 2014 at 4:19 pm

    Thanks for the review……..I always have trouble finding an armband to fit my phone with the LifeProof case on.

  54. Iris says

    April 2, 2014 at 8:55 pm

    Congratulations on your pregnancy!! I am a just beginning to train for the TOT 10 miler. I would love to have a device (ie. belt) that I can keep my phone in safe. Thanks!

We spent the evening at Mountain Mile in Pigeon Fo We spent the evening at Mountain Mile in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and it was one of those simple, sweet evenings that just felt good. 

Located right in the heart of Pigeon Forge, @mountainmilepf is an open-air shopping and entertainment area with gorgeous views of the Smoky Mountains (seriously—those views 😍). It’s super family-friendly, easy to walk around, and there’s so much to do without feeling overwhelming.

We wandered through cute boutiques and shops, played yard games, and just enjoyed being outside in such a pretty setting. There are over 40 shops and restaurants here—plus thrill rides if that’s your thing (we skipped them this time, but they looked fun!).

It’s one of those places where you can go slow, let the kids run around a little, sit and relax with a coffee, or get your shopping fix—all in one spot. And the giant lawn area with yard games? Perfect for kids (or tired parents 😅).

If you’re visiting the Smokies and want something fun and low-stress that everyone can enjoy, I definitely recommend adding Mountain Mile to your list.

🎯 Free parking
📍Central location in Pigeon Forge
👟 Easy to walk + stroller friendly
🍽️ Restaurants, snacks, coffee, and more (Azul was delicious!)
🛍️ Shops from boutique to big brand
🎡 Rides + a massive lawn space for kids to play

Let me know if you’ve been or are planning to go—I’d love to hear your favorite spots there! #mountainmilepartner

Before & after… and I’m honestly still in awe Before & after… and I’m honestly still in awe of the difference this rug made. 😁 

I found it at @revival and couldn’t be happier — it’s soft underfoot, doesn’t shed (huge win), and is stain-resistant, which is exactly what we need in a house with kids and pets. It also came with free shipping and easy returns, which made the whole process so simple.

Made in Turkey and beautifully crafted, it feels like the perfect mix of style and practicality — especially for a home that sees a lot of paw prints. 🐾
