Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Belkin Silicone Sleeve with Armband for the iPod nano provides a means to carry and protect your iPod while you're working out. Made with silicone, the sleeve provides protection from shock, scratches, and scuffs. It also has a non-slip surface, making it easy to hold your iPod with no worry of it slipping out of your hands.

All the controls and the screen remain accessible when the sleeve is on, as well as access to the dock connector. Featuring a form-fitting design, the armband doesn't add much bulk, making it less noticeable while you exercise. The armband is removable, so the sleeve also can be used by itself when you're not exercising. The Belkin Silicone Sleeve with Armband is backed by a lifetime warranty.

This review is from: Belkin Silicone Sleeve with Armband for iPod nano 3G (Black) (Electronics)

The Belkin Silicone Sleeve is a simple solution to carrying your iPod 3G Nano on your arm. A silicone 'pocket' that snugly fits over your iPod with an elastic band that threads through the slots in the back of the sleeve works very well. However, the product description states: "the sleeve provides protection from shock, scratches, and scuffs". Based on this description I expect some kind of plastic shield that would fit over actual screen. There is none so damage can still occur to this part of your iPod. Further the silicone covers the control 'wheel' and, while I suppose it's not necessary to see the controls, obscures the wheel from sight. But for the price, it's sufficient until I find something I like better.

This was a great buy: The arm band is comfortable and fits any size very well. The cover is made of thin rubber and is very convenient and flexible so I just leave it on all the time. I would recommend this product to anyone who walks/runs/works out with their iPod like I do.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice case. Needs improvement at the scroll wheel., February 22, 2008

This is a good, thin silicone case with a cutout for the screen. I didn't need the case to protect the screen since I already have a stick-on screen protector there. The thinness of the case means occasionally the iPod wants to start to slip out near the top, but this isn't really a problem too often. There is a full opening at the bottom for access to the dock connector, button lock-out switch and headphone jack.

The armband is an improved version of Velcro loop material for its entire length, with the hook material at the end, making it completely adjustable. It's also very comfortable.

The only reason I took away a star was because of the part of the case that covers the scroll wheel. It seems a little thinner than the rest of the case, but it's still occasionally difficult to control the wheel. I would like this case better if it had a scroll wheel cutout similar to the one for the screen.
