Doesn't have the metal bar at the end to make the cuff tighter by pulling it through it. How hard/easy is it to put it properly on your arm, YOURSELF?

The ones without the metal bar (D-ring) for tightening are MUCH harder to use on yourself!!! If you are the only one using it, though, once you (finally) get it adjusted right you can just slip it on and off without loosening it. Having the D-rind makes a world of difference, especially for using to take your own blood pressure.

The metal bar to pull through would have been helpful. Too bad this particular one doesn't have that.

:) You only need 2 hands. There are teeth that hold them together while you use 2 hand to break it loose. Then you can hold the arm with one hand and unscrew it with the other hand. It isn't difficult at all. :D

It's not as easy as some other arm bands I've used. The home button for the iPhone 5 falls slightly below the frame of the armband and the plastic is quite thick (good for protecting against rain though).

No, it's hard to use and when you do get cuff on and pump it up you get an error. Should have returned but don't. Don't buy.

A larger arm cuff is available. Call Blipcare customer service. They provided mine at no charge.

There is no specific thing like plastic part for instance to "adjust". Basically you adjust the tightness by pulling one of the strap to velcroAdjust here i think it means tightness.I like to make it tight but my armpit suffer by constant scratch and pressure after 1 hour of user and my skin start feeling pain.I had t-shirt underneath but it wasn't really helpful.This product does not have enough force to pull ur back straight. You can still be curly back and feel pain. But when i straight my back, then i had less scratch and pressure.

We purchased the large cuff. It does have the skinny metal loop that the loose end goes through. This does not buckle the cuff, it uses velcro for that. Instead it lets you change the direction the loose end is going so that the velcro will line up. I do not know if other sizes use this method.

if your height is set correctly, it is quite easy. pull on the bar with your arm.

The basic procedure is to start at the base of the bar or bar end an wrap the material around itself to secure the beginning. To complete the wrap, you overlap slightly, the open end of the bar or bar end, fold the little bit of overlap into the open end, and insert the included plug to hold it in place. If you have to wrap a part that cannot be secured this way, you may have to find some additional grip tape to secure the end. I had to use both of the above methods on my application. I found some grip tape at a local sports store. I hope this helps.

Sometimes it is easier if you can connect it and slip it over your hand. If your hand is too big for that then it can be a little more difficult. First I would make the bracelet (just to make sure that it is all bent and ready to go) then put the connector on one end. Use a flat surface to pin the bracelet against your wrist and use your other hand to curve the bracelet around your wrist and insert the end into the connector.

Don't think so. Mine works perfectly with just the screw and I have no memory of any type of sleeve provided in the package. Of course, it is not necessary to screw down excessively to hold the arm in the desired position...just a little less than "hand tight" should be fine and you won't distort (i.e., "crush inward") the arm. I use it during grooming of our two Miniature Schnauzers and, once set, haven't had to adjust it.

It's easy to put on. Taking out it's kinda hard if u don't know how. Lol the first time I tried, I tried doing it from the sides but I found the best way. It's easier to take out when u pull it from the ends of the bottom.

It is very easy to put on by yourself. It is stiffer than the old fabric cuffs. I tried it several times just to be sure. Put it under your armpit and hold your arm firmly to your rib cage. Wrap with other arm. I generally cheat. I have a pen mark on the cuff that shows my size. I close the cuff and then slip it on like a bracelet. Voila.

Answer is from my review......The directions were clear....line up the top and simply "snap" on...right! Being > 70, my arm strength is not what it once was, and no way was I going to be able to "snap" that top on. Took what looks like a short croquet mallet from my husband's workbench (head is about 2" round, and made from something other than metal....have no clue what its real purpose is), lined up the top correctly, covered it with a towel to avoid marks, and "tapped" it....to no avail. So, I whacked it above each appropriate spot...and I do mean whacked. Cover and trash can survived without a mark....and cover works perfectly.

So after contacting mount-it customer support and trying. The hex bit that is in the part that lifts the arm needed to be tightened counter-clockwise. (not clockwise) and it just keeps tightening and doesn't seem to stop. Also there were parts on there that looked like you could put a quarter on and turn it but that was not the case. Anyway the arm lifting part nut turned counter-clockwise a lot. seems to stiffen the thing and give me more control. Im ight keep it now.
