This is a pretty good armband. Certainly better quality then most out there. I only have two issues. I don't have huge arms but they are large. While they do sell an adapter for the armband, it would be nice if the original band was a little bigger. I can barely fit it around my arm and I know it will eventually wear out the Velcro. The other issue is that it is sometimes hard to use the controls on my Nano as it tends to bond with the plastic on the face of the storage area.
In general though, this armband is good quality, has a great storage area for a house key behind where your Nano will go and the Velcro fastening material is better quality then most. It's probably the best armband I've been able to find for the nano.

I bought this armband for my nano to use at the gym. As one reviewer suggested, the armband itself is rather small. Unlike the previous reviewer, I do not have large arms by any means and the armband barely fits around my arm. I have to struggle to put it on every time. To make matters worse, the fit around the ipod is super tight. I struggled for 15 minutes the first time trying to get the ipod nano out of the case for charging! I almost ripped it apart. The product looks good in the pics, but definitely needs improvement. I don't like getting angry every time I use it.

This Ipod holder does say with or without Nike +
and it does fit with the Nike + but it is not what I expected. Now, when I plug the headphones into the holder it makes it feel like the plug will break because it is so far from the Ipod. Also it is difficult to get out of the holder and change songs with the plastic. On the upside though, it is protected from the weather, it is flexible and fits my arm well. It works but it could be better. For the price it is worth it.

The plastic cover is so thick it makes it very difficult to operate the ipod. Adjusting the volume is next to impossible since you can't just slide your finger across the face due to the thickness of the plastic cover.

The Tunebelt does everything it claims. I've used several similar belts over the years, and this one is easily the best. Especially when it comes to comfort over the hours. The neoprene material keeps your iPod tight in place while still maintaining comfort. The only issue I had with the Tunebelt was that for the first few days, it was hard to remove the iPod when I needed to charge or sync it. After those few days it wore-in and it has become increasingly easier to swap the iPod in and out of the Tunebelt. Now it's no trouble at all. Perhaps the maker should leave a note of that; expect a week or so for the belt to meet extended performance standards.

Would happily buy again and recommend their products to any one who wants to use their iPod (or whatever) without having to waste a hand on holding it, or risk it in a normal pocket.

I wasn't hoping this product would knock my socks off but it barely registers on my radar. It is hard to fit the Nano inside it, sweat seeps through and it's not all that comfortable. Sure, I could quit whining and just go outside and run some more but this arm band just makes it less worth while.

Travel on my friends and find something else. You deserve better.

You really can't control the volume very well at all. The plastic coverint the face makes it difficult to change setting, playlists...etc. Also, you have to take it out of the sleeve to charge it your iPOD. There are better carriers out there than this one.

We have no complaints about this product. It performs well. Keeps the ipod dry. Securely fits around arm.clear screen is clear and we are easily able to use the button on the iPod while it is in the case.

I purchased this product in error. I was actually looking for one with a similar brand name. However, I'm fairly happy with it anyways. It seems durable and the Vel-Cro strap seems to be pretty decent quality that should last without "stringing".

What could be better: 1)On bicep/tricep days at the gym, the Vel-Cro strap could benefit from being a bit longer. For guys with bigger arms than me, the strap may be too short. 2) When your headphones are plugged in through the designated hole, it causes the face of the plastic protective case to wrinkle. This can sometimes make it difficult to smoothly scroll through menus or adjust the volume.

This product is great, I bought it for my wife and it works excellent. It fits the iPod nano 5th gen perfectly and is very comfortable to wear.
