I am a runner and have used all types of armbands. I was concerned about buying this armband because of the reviews about the ipod nano falling out of the armband. I have used this armband on several 10k runs now and find it to work very well. The other reviews must not connecting the nano correctly or maybe not using a 6g. Because of the way the armband is molded this will only work on an ipod nano 6g. In order to attach the ipod nano you simply lift the "tongue" and slide it through the clip on the back of the ipod nano. Once you have done this the tongue returns to its original position. The molded "stops" in the band prevents the nano from moving or falling out of the armband. The molded "stops" are configured specifically for the ipod nano 6g. This is why this armband would not work with any other version of ipod or even any other generation of the nano. Because of the reviews I read I have tried to shake and jerk the nano around in the armband to see if I could get it to fall out. I could not make it move. The fit is very secure.
Another feature that other people may not appreciate as much as I do is the rectangle plastic piece where the band is connected. In other armbands I have used the band was not stout enough and the rectangle piece would end up oblong every time. This does not happen on this armband (at least has not happened yet). It feels much more stout than other armbands I have used so I am not expecting to have this problem with this armband.
I am very happy with this product.

This armband is okay, not great; it does the job of securing the ipod nano 6th generation. However, the plastic part where the ipod attaches to irritates the skin a little when tightening the armband. And the armband does not shorten its length to accommodate small arms - I have to continually pull it up as it tends to slide down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Confusing, March 10, 2011

I have read the reviews and still couldn't figure out how the armband works. How can this be so confusing? So, my husband finally came in to see why I was working with the strap for 35 minutes, and he figuered it out. Don't use the clip on the I Pod, it is for your shirt or belt. Use the clip on the strap and it will glide into the I Pod. It does fit perfectly and will not slid out.
