The listing does not say that the sleeve is for a VIDEO Ipod. We have an older Ipod that just stores PICTURES. The video Ipod is smaller than the other, and as such the holes for everything did not line up. We had to cut bigger holes to get it to fit. This seller (Computer Brain), however, was very good to deal with. I would buy from them again.

I got this arm band because I like to run, walk and bike and I didn't want to be holding my iPod all the time or putting it in my pocket (just in case I didn't have one). Its nothing fancy, it just does exactly what you think you would. It comes with this sleeve that slides onto the band; which is nice because that sleeve can be used without the band so you can protect your iPod all the time. It also comes with a plastic screen cover, but to be honest the stickers on those always confuse me and I never know how to put it on right, so I haven't used it yet. Also, if you have skinny arms (girls you know what I am talking about), the twig skinny arms, this item is probably not going to be the best for you. I don't think it would strap tight enough so it wouldn't fall down while you were using it. All in all, for me, its just what I was looking for.

Sleeve gives good protection from being dropped and protects from the weather. Also keeps it still when I have it in the car. Only drawbacks are that the protective screen is not connected to sleeve and can let water in and that holes were not put on the top of the sleeve for the headphone jack and lock button.

This arm band does exactly as it should. Its basically a replacement case for your iPod with a slot in the back for the arm band attachment. The silicon case is nice and soft yet feels like it would absorb a small impact if dropped. The arm band is of good quality. Its a simple elastic band/strap that closes with Velcro. Once on your arm it does a good job of keeping your iPod secure on your arm. It doesn't jiggle or move back and forth as you run, it stays fairly in the same place its strapped onto.

I really like this sleeve. It fits my 80 gig ipod very well, it's not too bulky, and very anti-slip. The included screen guard is ok, but not great. I have not used the arm-strap, so I can't say anything about that.

It does the job, quickly put your ipod into the sleeve and onto your arm and your ready to go. Not bad!
