Armband?!, July 19, 2007
The strap is long enough but not comfortable. I took it to work and ended up with three bruises on my arm because of it! There isn't any support or comfort. The case works well.
The screen protectors were old and/or cheap. The placement stickers didn't come off all the way so I have gunk on my screen and iPOD's backside.

iPod Protection, August 22, 2007
This is a nice, inexpensive and necessary set for your new iPod (mine is the video, 30gb model). The set contains clear sticky pieces to place on the front, back and dial of your iPod, a silicon skin and a wrap for your arm if you like to wear it while exercising. The sticky sheets must be put on slowly and on a very clean surface. Wipe your iPod off and try not to leave any lint or dust (which will cause air pockets), taking the front sticky piece (which has the center cut-out) peel off the backing and start at the top corner of the iPod and smooth it across the front, trying to push out any bubbles that may appear. If you need to lift the sheet off, any bending of the corner will cause the plastic to stay bent so try to do it right the first time. After smoothing out the bubbles, it will continue to settle and look pretty transparent. I didn't use the dial covering piece since the silicon will cover that area. After you do one piece, you've got the knack for the other piece/s. The silicon stretches nicely and snugly, but doesn't look that great when humidity causes it to stick to areas of the iPod. I found that adding a VERY light dusting of talc to the interior of the silicon skin before stretching it on, keeps the silicon from sticking to the iPod and the color of the silicon skin appears pretty even looking. The skin still stays on the iPod, protecting it from scratches. The armband is nice and slips through a slot in the back of the silicon skin but it isn't a very tight or secure fit because of the weight of the iPod and the lightness of the skin and, if you're running, I would imagine that the iPod could still slip out of the silicon skin, especially the top which has less of the silicon cover because of the screen area. I'm still able to charge it with the skin on, using my USB cable. For a first-time iPod user (like myself), this is an adequate and inexpensive accessory which will show you to what you would look for in the future, when you want to pay more for iPod protection.

Simple but effective case. confusing but effective screen protector, January 18, 2007
This review is from: iPod Video Silicone Case Cover Includes Screen Protector and Armband Fits 30GB/60GB/80G/30G/60G/80G 5G/5.5G/6G Classic 80GB 160GB (More Colors Available) (Electronics)
This case is very simple. It is not as rugged as an iSkin. It does not have a belt clip. It fits very well on my 30G Video iPod. With the skin on, the "hold" button is a bit hard to activate.
The screen protector is a bit odd. It fits over the entire front of the iPod, not just the screen. It's in three pieces with diecuts for the click wheel. The directions are very scant, and I didn't realize that you DON'T take the pieces apart: you attach then as if there is only one piece.
With the protector on, the iPod behaves as it should. No problem using the click wheel.
However, this particular screen protector is obviously not intended to be used with this case, since the case has it's own click wheel cover!
It's still an overall good value.
