Ultra-Comfortable and Convenient
Designed to complement the latest fashion in gym gear, the Belkin Armband for the Zune is as sharp looking as the player itself. But it's not just about looking good: If you're a night runner, you'll appreciate the reflective material that will help to keep you visible. And the band's snug and ultra-comfortable fit means that your player won't jostle around and serve as a distraction while you exercise. In fact, except for the music streaming into your ears as you workout, you'll barely know it's on your arm. (And when you're not at the gym, you can protect your Zune from the hazards of everyday usage with the elegant Belkin Leather Sleeve or the edgy silver-and-acrylic Remix Case.

The armband is made of neoprene, a slim, stretchable and ultra-light material that is water-resistant and hand-washable. In addition to holding your Zune securely in place, the band also includes an integrated key pocket that can hold your gym key while you're working on your Abs.

The Zune's display is fully protected by a clear screen that allows for easy navigation. A Velcro closure ensures a universal fit that is secure, and quick and easy to adjust.

The Sports Armband for Zune is backed by Belkin's Lifetime Warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for!, October 3, 2008

This review is from: Belkin Neoprene Armband for Zune 4/8 GB (Black/Gray) (Electronics)

I've never been one who submits product reviews, however, oddly enough I do research them before buyting something. On this particular product I read the reviews before I purchased this product, and it seems that there is a lot of mixed feelings over it. I was almost shying away from buying it, and then I found it on Amazon for a really great price, so I went for it.

My motivation to get it was I'm a formity type buyer, when I bought my Zune 8G I was dissapointed there was no sport band for it. A year agod I switched my life from Mac to PC (yes i'm a PC!) and the Zune was part of that change over. I could have bought a different sports band, but waited, as I knew it would not be long before this product existed.

What the reviews said was that it was "small", that it was not durable, that it was difficult to get in and out of it's sleeve, that the touch pad did not work, and that you could not leave it in the band while charging.

Well regarding the small accusation, unless your Hulk Hogan I think you'll be fine. I'm a 27 y/o former division one athlete, who keeps himself in good shape. I run several times a week, use this while at the gym, and use it while spending hours on the driving range and putting green, and it doesn't bother me. It's snug, but certainly not uncomfortable. Regarding the durability I've not had an issue at all, it still looks to be brand new. I LOVE the key holder (a reasonably sized slit in the band where you can slip your key in while you jog, etc., which was a consumate issue for me). I've experienced no issues regarding the touch pad while in the sleeve at all. I've actually got to remember to lock it,cuz it works so well. As far as getting in and out of the sleeve, i do it often, as I plug it in to the auxilery adapter in my car, every day, and have no issues. I mean if your a gorilla who has trouble using your opposable thumb, it might be difficult. But I'm confident that it's not going to come out of the sleeve, which is important to me. I don't have to wrestle it to get it out at all, so ease your mind there. The only thing I can't "defend" is the USB cable connection while in the sleeve. It's true that you can't plug the USB cable in to charge it. Though, to me this is totally a non issue. I take it out often as said, and don't like to leave the Zune in the armband so the who thing has an opporutnity to air out. I don't know why this would be an issue for anybody, as it's not for me.

Well, that's my thoughts, i'm fully satisfied, and think you will be too.

A.

This is a really small armband. It's okay for women and gentlemen without especially manly arms, but if you're more than 15" around the bicep, look elsewhere.

If you work your arms, or if you're heavy, DO NOT buy this. It will not fit around any upper arm that has any muscle or fat.
