Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin Armband Case for iPod nano 1G, 2G (Black)
Customer Review: love this thing - couldn't run without it!
Summary: 5 Stars
i seriously bought this thing like THREE YEARS AGO, maybe four. It still works, but the silicone case is starting to tear. And I am back to buy another one, because I know it works for me. My only complaints after all this time: the elastic has worn out a little bit after so much use (3-5 days/week) so now I have to wrap it more and more tightly, and the aforementioned tearing case. It still works, but I want to buy one just because my nano (2G) is so old now that I'm afraid I won't be able to find these for much longer. Heck, I'm tempted to buy 2.
I think I had the screen protector on at some point but I thought it was more of a hassle than it was worth, so I just use it without. It works with the Nike+ iPod thingy sticking out of the bottom and if you have super long earbuds, they wrap easily around the back of the ipod so they don't bounce around all over the place and annoy you while you're running.
Definitely recommend this - not like a lot of people are in the market for a 2G nano case, but hey - you never know! :)
Customer Review: iPod sleeve
Summary: 5 Stars
This is about as good an arm band for a first and second generation Nano as we're going to get.
It's very comfortable, and I'm fussy. I never did find the little clear plastic screen cover that everyone says to not throw away. But then, I forgot about that and threw the box away. I went after it again in the trash but to no avail. I'll just take care of the screen like I always did to protect it from scratches. The entire case cover is made of a perfectly formed, yet pliable rubber. Not too hard, and not too soft. You'll never have to take it out of the case again because you can charge the battery with it on. You won't even want to take it off.
It truly is a perfect arm band holder for runners or gym people. I've lifted weights and done many handstands with this thing on, and don't even know it's there. The band itself has a bit of elasticity which was a very pleasant surprise to me. They can't improve on this, it's just right.
Customer Review: A Great Product so far
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally used the white iPod arm band that you can purchase via the Apple store. That band was not well designed and it started to fall apart after 6 months. The iPod Nano could actually slip out of the case on the top, you had to take it out of the case to load the Nano, and it was hard to find a good place to wear it that worked with the strap.
This new case is a flexible rubber and you don't have to remove the Nano to charge it or load it. The band is a better design and is easier to keep on my arm. The only weakness to the case is that if you want a screen protector you have to apply the little piece of plastic that comes with the case. There isn't one built into the band. But the one on my iPod band fell off after a few months anyway so it doesn't matter to me.
I like this band so far and hope it lasts.
Customer Review: excellent product
Summary: 5 Stars
This case fits the nano perfectly and has openings for all the ports and switches. It's easy to slip on and adds very little bulk. The silicon is quite smooth and not as tacky as others. It's easy to slip into a pocket yet still resists sliding on a smooth surface.
It isn't mentioned in the ad but it does come with a screen protector. It's tucked away in the packaging and would be easy to discard, as I almost did. It too is very good quality, it was easy to install and lays flat without any bubbles. I put it on crooked initially, but it was easy to remove and put it on correctly. There aren't any real instructions but it has tabs that are clearly labeled and they should keep it from being installed inside out.
Bottom line: The quality and design of this case complements the quality and design of the Nano very well.
Customer Review: Works great
Summary: 5 Stars
This is exactly what I was looking for - a durable protective cover for my Nano that does not add much to its size or weight. I have already dropped my covered Nano once and I was glad that it was protected by this cover.
I haven't used the arm band that came with it that much because it is kind of a pain to attach and detach. You have to loop it through two slots on the back of the cover which is harder than it sounds. Since the Nano is so small, I normally just put it in either my pants pocket or shirt pocket if I have one. For those of you who would want to keep the arm band attached most of the time, I think it would work out great.
I highly recommend it whether you intend to use the arm band or not.
