 Works perfectly! Ligth weight, comfortable, and easy to use. August 28, 2008
Great product! I would recommend it for anyone who works out.Even if you don't run, lifting weights with this arm band is very comfortable. I really like it.
 works somewhat August 8, 2008
I bought this because my Nike one kept getting sweat inside of it and my iPod was shorting. This one doesn't solve that, sweat still gets in the plastic and wets the iPod, but it hasn't shorted yet...
 It's mediocre... August 2, 2008

Ok, so the quality of the arm band isn't great, but it is well put together. The velcro cord holder is a good feature, but the velcro is already peeling off on mine and I've only had it for three weeks. I'm in Iraq, so I think the heat is causing the adhesive to peel off. Another downfall is that the armband is not big enough. I have it all the way extended, and my arms are only 16" around. The armband won't be of any use to me in a few months if my arms continue to grow. Great for women or little kids, but for a man, I think I'm going to have to find another alternative. Now for the reason I really bought it, the Nike + iPod. It is one of the only good looking arm bands that allow extra space inside the band to utilize the Nike+ system, but if you're not using the Nike+, the iPod is hard to manipulate. It's frustrating trying to adjust the volume or scroll to another song when the protective plastic cover is so thick. Worth the $18, but they need to redesign it for bigger arms, and make it more versatile when not using the Nike+. I give it a 4 for quality, a 3 for functionality, and a 3 for pricing.
Great iPod nano armband or carrier July 29, 2008
Bought this for use as an armband, but find myself using it as general carrier. Also, I've found can use it to hold the iPod in my hand while running. Simple design and works great. I've tried other armbands that have fancy extension pieces that were awkward, whereas this one is all one piece. Highly recommended.
The good, bad and the ugly on this iphone armband July 9, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
The Good:
* The armband feels comfortable, and it's relatively adjustable
* The iphone slips nicely into the holder
* When it's turned towards me, I can clearly see the phone's screen
* Decent durability
The Bad:
* The band will periodically shimmy down my arm as I am doing cardio, I have to push it back up every few minutes (not a big deal)
* I am not sure you can wash this
The Ugly:
* The plastic covering over the iphone screen often makes pushing the buttons and controlling the iphone inconsistent and difficult. I am not sure what they could have done in place of this (maybe used a thinner plastic), in any case it's annoying to have to push a button 5+ times just to get the iphone to respond because of the heavy plastic in front of it.
The Bottom Line:
Overall it's not a bad item, I use it frequently and it's stayed pretty durable. Other than the buttons sometimes being difficult to operate, it's not a bad buy.
