4.0 out of 5 stars Good accessory to Ipod Mini, November 27, 2004

The price and overall design of the official Apple brand armband for the Ipod Mini MP3 player I found a bit off-putting. So, I went shopping for a different make of armband and came upon the Speck Mini Ipod Armband with Ipod skin. The design appealed to me because it looked like the type of armband that I could have confidence in when using my Ipod while working out, especially while running. Thus far, the Speck has certainly met my expectations. While it took some getting used to having a device strapped to my arm that was a little heavier than what I was used to, I soon developed a confidence that the Speck armband was keeping my Ipod Mini firmly in place. Despite and extended range of motion and lots of sweat, the rubberized material didn't even budge from the position I strapped it on in.

There are just a few minor qualms I have with product, but not enough to undo my satisfaction with the product. The first is that the Velcro material that comprises the strap is ridiculously strong and can cause ripping of the Velcro if the user is not careful about how they try to un-strap it. The second is that the strap only works if you put the Ipod mini in the skin it comes with. It's a bit of a hassle to put the Ipod in the skin and take it out again.

However, the skin is quite durable and gives one an extra sense of confidence knowing that the Ipod is protected from a variety of mishaps. Overall, I'm quite pleased with the functionality of the Speck Ipod Mini Armband and highly recommend it to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Awesome case and Armband for iPod mini, October 20, 2004

This is the prefect fit for the iPod mini. I lost my first iPod mini. It fell out of my pocket and some lucky person had them an iPod. I got this case after my second mini and I will not lose this one. It fits the iPod perfectly and the adjustable strap goes around your arm and fits comfortably. Also, the style fits the iPod and it is less expensive than Apple's version. I recommend this one over Apple's. The case would also absorb some shock if one were to drop their mini. So, the conclusion is this is one nice looking case that works.

I bought one of these after looking at all the competition. I really like this one! I wish the skin had a screen protector, and click-wheel protection, but otherwise, I like the skin, too.

I think that the armband's velcro has been upgraded lately-I heard of the stuff falling off before, but this one has no such issues. It also looks different from the earlier ones I have seen reviewed.

Also works with the iSkin
