 Great productMay 03, 2006
By Jon

After getting a Nano, I had a hard time finding a protective case for use during running that would also allow for easy removal and transfer of my Nano from arm to car mount. This armband case does the job. It is well priced and a better product than any other choices sold in Apple stores and provides solid protection during exercise; running distance in my case. I mounted the case upside down on the armband for two reasons: easier to view the screen as it now faces me and to prevent accidental sliding out of the case to the ground. I don't think the velcro closure would allow this to happen but mounting upside down helps aleviate that fear. I recommend this product. Also, get the Bullet-proof shields from the same company as they are great screen and back protection from scratches.

Great Ipod Nano ArmbandApr 11, 2006
By Tanisha Concepcion
I just received this armband. I like the fact that it adjusts to smaller arms. I haven't been able to find a band that stays put where I want it the only method of adjustment is usually just with the velcro. However with this it stays right where I put it and doesn't feel restraining. You can adjust via the velcro and/or the elastic strap. With the opening on the bottom I was afraid my ipod was going to slide out but not a problem at all. The company it came from (mygear) had great cust svc as well. I received this product overseas in less than 1wk. Thank you.

 Not that comfortable for me.Jul 24, 2006
By B. Kang

I purchased this for jogging. I'm an average-size female and found these arm bands (I bought 2 so far) are too large for my arm. The material is scratchy. I found it better to wrap it a couple of times around my wrist as that allows for easy access to the controls. If I were a manufacturer, I would design for females. Guess I just haven't found the right gizmo that works right for me.

 Not meant for working out!!!Oct 11, 2006
By Brian Cargo
Well I now have a handle for my $250 I-Pod Nano. The arm snug would be a great idea if they maybe thought about who is probably going to buy this product and what they are going to be doing. First off I have to wear this arm band just short of the largest setting on my forearm because even at the largest setting it makes my arm fall asleep from lack of blood flow. So unless you are a skinny 140lb biker this probably won't fit you comfortably. The second issue is that there is not a locking mechanism for the strap so when I am working out with my muscles constantly contracting it just changes the strap size and I end up with my Nano on my wrist.
Over all, this product is great if you are riding a bike or doing anything that doesn't cause you to move your arm a lot. So if you if you are planning on buying this for relaxing bike ride through the country it is well worth it. Planning on using your I-Pod to play angry music to help give you the strength do that one extra rep, don't bother.
Bullet proof shield though is a must since those little screens get scratched so easily.

Nice, but not SpectacularJul 08, 2006
By J. Rader
To be honest, I don't see any real advantage of this armband over many of the others in the same price range. It does come with its own handsome and functional case however - which is more than can be said for most of the others. I do not use the supplied case. My Nano has an iSkin Duo cover, and the belt clip that comes with that works great on the iSnug armband, plus it's nice having a hard screen protector which the iSnug's case does not have. The iSnug case is also single-purpose. I suppose it will fit on a belt, but it's not a quick and easy transition. Maybe I just like the funtionality of a clip.
It seems nearly every time I take the armband off, I have to readjust it before putting it back on. The adjustable strap feature is cool and all, but it's not very secure, in my opinion. I haven't had any noticeable slippage while wearing it though.
While I certainly don't regret paying what I did, I probably would go with a simple, cheaper armband-only purchase if doing it again. If you already have a case that you like, particularly with a good belt clip, then look elsewhere. You can probably find an armband that will be more than adequate at your local megamart for less than shipping costs of an online option.
