Using a smartphone armband is an effective way to keep your device on your person when exercising but often traps it inside a casing that makes it hard to use, so the 'Lock&Go' is intended to offer a distinctly different alternative.

The 'Lock&Go' sport armband is capable of being used with your smartphone by simply holding it firmly in place with the use of a magnetic slot that makes it easy to remove when you're done exercising or need to check something.

The 'Lock&Go' smartphone armband features silicone to keep it on your arm without slipping and also sports a spot to store a single key to ensure you never have to carry around the whole set.
