3.0 out of 5 stars functional, but has a few shortcomings., January 14, 2008

By	Chris Veneracion (Huntington Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Pros:
great product. it comes with clear film protectors for both the screen and the click wheel. it also comes with the shoe pouch so you can wear the sensor on non-nike+ shoes! a great deal for any ipod nano owner who uses nike plus

Cons:
After about 3 weeks of use i've started to notice little nicks on the edges of my ipod nano. Since I only use the nano with the armband, (except when i take it out to update my nike + runs) the damage is definitely coming from the armband. It seems like the damage is coming from rubbing between the ipod and the stitching that connect the protective plastic screen and the armband. The nicks are small but definitely noticeable.

Personally the nicks don't bother me that much, as I only use my nano for Nike+ and other work out purposes. However if you're [...] about keeping your ipod nano in pristine condition, you may way to go elsewhere.

Also another small problem.. i wear the armband on my forearm and i tend to sweat a lot when i run. as a result some moisture does soak through the neoprene material and some of the moisture comes in contact with the ipod. i don't think this will be a problem for my ipod, but it is a little annoying when i take the ipod out of the armband to sync after a run and there is moisture on the body and screen of the ipod.

one last nit picky negative: there's no way to dock the ipod nano while it is inside the case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ipod 3G Marware Armband, November 25, 2007

By	C. Haskins - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Marware Sportsuit was better than expected. It allows for a pouch to use the Nike Plus system and also includes a shoe wallet for the sensor. This allows you to use shoes other than Nike and it works great. The Sportsuit can also be worn on your wrist making it easier for access to your nano.

The only negative is that the touch wheel does not work very well through the protective clear plastic but while running or walking, you only need access to push the center button for updates.

Great Product!

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great, December 11, 2007

By	Burt Ayers (Bennettsville, SC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This product worked just as it says. Fits great and is perfect for the Nano with Nike+. The little space for the wireless receiver works great. Also the little hole for the headphone plug is exactly where it should be. The only drawback is sometimes it is difficult to use the controls through the plastic. But this is not really a big issue. A couple times I have paused runs by pressing the pause button, while attempting to press the center button, to hear run information. Now im a little more careful, and this really isnt a problem. I like that it can be worn on the wrist or upper arm. Works great and is made well. I would recommend.
