Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Compatible with iRiver's iFP-700 series of Flash MP3 players, this comfortable carrying case is ideal for joggers, hikers, cyclists, and other sports enthusiasts, including folks who get all their exercise at the gym. The case's open design allows easy access to the MP3 player's controls while still holding the device securely even when jostled or dropped. Listeners have the choice of wearing the case using the soft, comfortable armband, or attaching it to their shorts or workout pants with the rugged belt clip. The cloth armband won't irritate the skin even after a particularly hard workout, but it will expand from 9.5 inches to 16.5, with an extra 10 inches of stretch to fit people with especially big biceps. The belt clip, meanwhile, is preferred for people who find an armband too distracting or who want to keep the headphone cord out of the way during arm-intensive workouts. The case fits iRiver's iFP-799, iFP-795, iFP-790, and iFP-780 models and carries a one-year warranty against defects.

5.0 out of 5 stars 100% better then the armband it comes with, July 28, 2005

By	Anne Bonny (Stamford, CT) - See all my reviews

This is one ofthose items where simlpe-stupid seems to work best. The armband that the iRiver comes with is one of the most poorly designed items I have come across. The hook-and-eye closure limits the range of sizing options and is nearly impossible to secure using one hand! Makes me wonder if anyone at iRiver ever tried it out. This armband, however, is great! It is elastic enough to be comfortable when your arm is relaxed or flexed (unlike the included armband, which was made of non-stretching neoprene and can cut off circulation when your bicep is flexed) I am also a big jogger and the elastic is stiff enough that the player won't bounce around or slide down your arm and you don't need to cinch it very tightly to be secure.

The case is great - it is a hard-but-rubbery type of material and instead of having a solid loop to attach it to the armband it has a belt clip (much like what you find on cell phone belt clips) I have found that i'm using the clip more frequently then I would have imagined - on the neck of my shirt, the strap to my backpack, on my back pocket, etc. Basically, it's convenient that you can pop the player off the armband and just clip it anywhere on your body.

This accessory is a great solution to the cumbersome (and fairly unattractive) arm band they included with the players.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, must have for workouts!, August 20, 2005

Unlike the armband that comes with the player this one is well designed and looks that will last for a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for an IRIVER, April 9, 2006

By	Janell (Honolulu, HI) - See all my reviews

The little sports case and arm bands that comes with the IRiver are a pain. This is great. The arm band is comfortable and easy to use with one hand. The case is very solid and protects the IRiver. Only draw-backs: you have to take the IRiver out of the case to plug in the USB cable (didn't have to in the original one), the clip has come undone (but not during exercise), and the arm band is almost too big for my arm (probably won't work at all for children). Other than that...perfect.
