4.0 out of 5 stars A positive review, March 7, 2004

I jog with two dogs so hand-holding my CD Walkman is not an option. In the past I've carried cassette Walkmen in my pocket, and dropped them regularly. When I purchased my first CD Walkman I wanted a better way, and this CD Carrying Case is it. The unit fits snugly in the case and the belt fits snugly around my waist. The unit is secure, and if I ever do drop it (which has not happened yet) there is an extra layer of padding. The downside is that all controls are inaccessible except the start/stop button. I solve that problem by setting the various controls in advance, hitting the Hold button to lock them in and prevent accidental change, and using headphones with volume control on the cords.

As to the looks, who cares? I mean, if you're serious about exercise you're out there in a ragged tee shirt and shorts, your hair's a mess, you're covered in sweat and you smell bad. You're not going to win any beauty contests with or without a carrying case.

2.0 out of 5 stars Small belt, February 22, 2004

Be sure of your waistline dimensions when you order this item. The length of the belt should be disclosed so those with mature figures don't order something that has to be worn around the neck.

When i read the reviews about this product, i was kinda hestitant, especially with the last one that gave it only two stars, saying it looking like a luggage strap. I don't mind the material itself does. it's made of this kinda greyish/steel blue semi-stretchy material, which could have been a little more stretchy, if your someone like me who would only really use this when doing cardio (i.e. running, eliptical trainer, cycling, etc. no swimming obviously)What's nice is it has a reflector strip on it for those of you that are night/early morning joggers. i have the iRiver SlimX iMP-550 CD/MP3 Player with Ultraslim Design, and it fits in the case fine, so obviously the ones listed in the stats aren't the only ones that will fit in here. But obviously your player has to be not to bulky or too wide. The good thing about my cd player is it has a remote, otherwise the soft netting on the inside (where the front of the cd player faces you, where the buttons usually are) would be rather annoying to press or find. They should have put a very soft, flexible, clear plastic there instead of netting. But if you have one of those cd players that has the buttons on the ends like the sony dn-e58ck or sony dn-f610... this won't be a problem for you, because the top of the pocket, where the cd player slides in, has a cut to it that allows those buttons to be free of fabric or netting, and easily accessible. But then again, i like to constantly skip around thro my music, so if aren't like me than these feature shouldn't hinder you too much. These, to me, were minor set backs, since this case wasn't really meant for my cd player, but still works. The only thing i didnt really like about it, was the buckle that holds the two straps around your waist. It's big! i felt like i was strapping myself in to go rock climbing! Overall, i think it was a decent investment, but perhaps i could have done a little better. I'd give it 3.5 stars, (but there is no way to select halfsie stars).
