1 out of 5 stars Idiotic Design   July 6, 2008
Jan (Northern California)
I want some of whatever the Belkin engineers are smoking, because this thing is IDIOTICALLY designed. Belkin owes me $150 bucks to buy a new ipod nano...

...basically, the armband backing is a really porous, stretchy material. So when you go running (like you do with an armband) and sweat, the sweat soaks through the back and onto the ipod. The front is a completely non-porous plastic, so it doesn't let the sweat evaporate out. Consequently, your ipod nano drowns in sweat after running for about 20 minutes; a week of running later, it starts making cracking noises and is completely unresponsive to button presses. Kinda sucks

The apple engineers were able to get this right, but apparently the Belkin guys never tested the product in the field.

Oh, and a key pocket? Really? As if running shorts haven't had those since the 80's?



4 out of 5 stars good buy   June 30, 2008
H. Titiz (Boston, MA USA)
it is a good buy. It is a really secure feeling armband, even when i am running.

Still, it is very hard to control your ipod with the plastic screening on, but if you have a good playlist, you would have no problems.



1 out of 5 stars Garbage!   June 27, 2008

Don't waste your money. In under 1 month of light usage the armband fell apart. The front cover became separated from the armband itself. This thing would not be worth it at half the price.


4 out of 5 stars Practical and Inexpensive   June 24, 2008
M. Rodiguez (Orlando, FL)
This band suits its purpose for my ipod. It is inexpensive and pretty comfortable considering a band wrapped tightly around your arm can only be so comfortable! I do have a small arm though so I don't know how it would fit a grown, muscular man. I do also find that I need to thread the headphones through the band to avoid getting caught up in it which leaves an itchy mark on your skin afterward. Oh well, what do you expect? Like I said practicality is all I was seeking, so I am pleased.


3 out of 5 stars Good workout armband   June 20, 2008
Taylor Stinebaugh (The City, CA USA)
I use this product daily in the gym and it does what it is supposed to. You can make it very snug on you arm and the band still is able to flex with your arm. Very handy. The only detraction is the hole at the bottom of the iPod case for turning the "Key Lock" switch on and off. The opening itself is very small, but if you have smaller fingers I would imagine it would be easier. Overall a good product.
