I love the fit and the durability of this product. Easy access to ear phone jack, love the compartment for storing my keys. One draw back however, it is not weather proof because the slit on the top that allows you to put in the touch also allows it to get wet when the rain falls.

Bought 2 armbands, one for me one for my wife. Fits OK on her arm but not around mine. I do not have monster arms, the armband is just to small to fit most male arms. if you are a 120 lb girl go for it.

I bought this product for my Ipod touch and I was worried it would be hard to scroll through my music because that is the problem I have had with many other cases. This one is great it is easy to scroll, type, whatever you could possibly image and the fit is perfect I don't have to worry about it falling out while working out.

I'm a big girl (5'6" - 215 lbs) and I have the arms to prove it. I was hesitant about buying an armband but I've made a resolution to exercise more and I really need music to motivate/pace myself. Well this was definitely the right choice. It fits wonderfully (I use the outer hole) - snug enough to feel secure but not too tight that it's uncomfortable.

I also love that it's all one piece unlike others that I'd looked at. It's not horrendously hard to get my iPod in and out either.

It does get damp if you sweat, but in my book that's to be expected. I have a silicone sleeve that I use when I'm not at the gym, so I'm not really worried about the moisture build-up that others have mentioned.

Another plus - the touch screen works surprisingly well for having the cover.

All in all I'm really pleased with this armband and would recommend it.

I ordered this item looking for something durable and stylish looking for using my Ipod touch 2g while exercising. I'm not at all disappointed with my purchase. This item is very stylish and well put together. There was one thing that could use a little change and that was the extremely snug fit. It was a little difficult to get the Ipod in and out of the holder, but over all I feel this was a very small issue compared to the positive side of this product.

for most applications this product actually worked better than i thought it would. it's perfect for running and working out if you're only listening to music. the fit is fantastic, and it stays exactly where i want it on my arm. unlike other reviewers i don't find the band too small to fit my arm i consider myself a pretty average sized guy arm-wise, and there's still some room to grow.

i found out that there are actually a couple very handy pouches (one shown in the picture as a red line to hold cash/keys) the other is on the back side of the ipod pocket and is perfect for id, credit/membership cards. these are fantastic.

on the downside, if you have invisible shield or another similar product, the plastic covering the screen does some friction adhesion to the invisible shield, making it tough to get the ipod out. the plastic screen protector also makes it a little tough to cue up specific scenes in videos. rather than the smooth scrolling of the sliding time bar, the video tends to jump around probably due to the fact that the screen protector actually makes more contact with the ipod's face than your finger would alone. i use the p90x series and i get whooped, so i have to rewind a few seconds to keep up. often this results in going back a minute or two. very annoying. that's the only complaint. it seems to work fine with other applications (typing, selecting music, etc.). other than that, great product. highly recommended.

This armband is truly something I was trying to find and found with Belkin! For my arm (and I am a slim girl) it fits perfectly. My husband tried it too and he didn't experience any discomfort. I very much like the synthetic soft material Belkin used to construct this product, very well done altogether. Silicon pocket that houses iPod Touch or iPhone is not that narrow - it was not difficult for me to slide my iTouch in it. I feel confident that it will stay there while I am exercising.

All in all, good product, highly recommend!

This product looks fine, but it's made out of a material that is overly stretchy so that you practically have to cut off circulation to your arm to get it stay in place. There isn't enough velcro to keep the armband in place--it comes undone on occasion if you bump it the wrong way. The material doesn't breathe at all, so I sweat a lot more where the band makes contact with my skin. The only positive thing I can think of to say is that the touch screen responds well through the clear window plastic.

My big complaint is that the velcro closure scratches my side when I run without a shirt on. This may be related to the complaints here that the armband isn't big enough. While it does fit my bicep (I'm 5'9", 165 lbs), the end of the strap is exactly between my bicep and my side ... hence the chaffing.

If I wear it with a shirt, its fine. It fits snug against my arm ... no bouncing or moving around as I run ... and my ipod is secure. The ipod is not as responsive as when w/o the cover, but it does respond well enough to operate. Having said that, I don't fiddle with it much once in the sleeve. I start it, turn up the volume, run, and then stop it.

Unfortunately, I haven't tried anything other product to know whether there is something better out there.

I shopped a long time to find this product. It had great reviews. I did take note that some people were concerned that it appears that the iphone could get wet. Well, I've had mine for about a month now and guess what!! Yep, I went on a 12 mile run today and of course sweated like crazy and now my Iphone is ruined. It worked fine during the whole run and even after. I took the iphone out of the arm band and set it on my countertop while I took a shower. When I got out of the shower I noticed my iphone screen was blank. I thought maybe the battery was dead so I plugged in the charger. After charging for about 10 minutes I wondered why it wouldn't turn on. I then pushed the audio/vibrate button and notice that it did vibrate. So it's on I thought but I can't see anything. I called my phone from my house phone and sure enough it rang. The screen no longer works. This product is supposed to be for sports. Well guess what, people sweat when they play sports. Whatever you do, do not buy this product. I'm now out a phone.
