4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Product with very little room for improvement, January 1, 2008

Updating review. 2/7/08.

Downgrading my recommendation to: "Do not buy". After a little while of having this product it is now broken. The metal clip that allows you to adjust the straps broke yesterday while I was working out. Perhaps this is an isolated incident, however with the other potential drawbacks mentioned below, I simply wouldn't chance it if I were you.


-----------------------------------

I strongly recommend this product if you have a ipod classic that you would like to workout with. The quality is excellent and it has held up very well in the past couple months that I've used it. (I workout roughly 4/5 days per week).

Things I really like:
-Very durable
-Sexy design
-Dries Quickly (It gets very sweaty during my workouts)
-Great Price

I only have one complaint. The plastic face on the front does not easily allow manipulation of the scroll wheel to adjust volume or browse the device. This means you must take the ipod out of the case if you would like to quickly find your music or make adjustments. Sometimes this can be a bit fustrating. I call this a minor complaint because I usually set my volume and/or playlist prior to beginning a workout so this is not too much of an inconvenience.

Also, if the armband provided a way to access the port on the bottom of the device then I probably would never take it out. That would make this product an absolute best buy. (I don't think that is the intent of this product so I will not list that as a complaint)


All in all it is a great product.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK But needs and Update, February 20, 2008

Fits well, stretches well but you can't change any music when it is inserted into the sleeve. That should change. I ended up cutting a hole so I could access the menu buttons on the iPod to compensate.

Little pricey considering I have to take the iPod out to select different music.

3.0 out of 5 stars Durable but no opening for USB connector, January 19, 2008

Product is nice and durable. At the meatiest part, my arm is 13" around and the armband fit just fine. It's not the easiest mechanism to tighten, but once you get it as tight as you'd like, it stays on your arm rather nicely (especially through the sweating). HOWEVER this particular armband does not have an opening for the USB connector so you have to take your ipod out of the armband every time you connect it to your computer (this is rather annoying as my old armband had the bottom cut out).
