Customer Review: great product, but...
Summary: 3 Stars
its a great product, machine washable. That said, it's not terribly durable. I've had it for about a year, the seams are falling apart.Customer Review: Armband good only for jogging
Summary: 2 Stars
This armband gives a very snug fit for my iPod, meaning it is very form-fitting to the iPod and very snug on my bicep. No wiggling here. The case is lightweight and water-resistant and has a place to keep your key, VERY handy for jogging.
However, the strap's velcro was low quality and started peeling, making tightening it increasingly difficult. Furthermore, the plastic cover was too thick for my clickwheel to function. I ended up debating and the only way I could get the wheel to work was to cut a circle in the plastic (thus negating the benefit of water resistance). I ultimately also cut a slit in the bottom to access the data cable slot.
The armband is permanently attached to the iPod holder, too, so once it's off your arm you either have a very large and awkwardly-shaped item to carry around or you have to wrestle the iPod out of the very snug neoprene holder.
I recommend it only for use when jogging.
Customer Review: Poor quality product
Summary: 2 Stars
The product did come in a timely manner which I was pleased with. The quality of the arm band appeared to be above average. I also liked the little pocket on the side for a key since I used the product in the gym and would usually need a place to put the key to my locker. I think some type of cord management feature would have been helpful. I found myself wrapping the excess wiring from my headphones around the band or tucking it in my shirt so it wouldn't flail. My initial impression was very short-lived however, because less than a month after receiving the product, it broke. The plastic that covers the face of the iPod ripped and disconnected from the rest of the band, making it impossible for my iPod to stay in the encasement. I was extremely disappointed after having spent better than average money for the arm band.Customer Review: pretty good while it lasted
Summary: 2 Stars
overall, this armband served me well while it lasted. the securing mechanism is a little hard to use with one hand, as the band needs to be fed through a failry narrow metal slot, which is made even more difficult as the end of the velcro strip tends to get caught as it goes through. i stuck small velcro squares on the clear faceplate to mark where the forward, reverse, and play buttons were located when my ipod was in the sleeve, that way i could 'feel' for the buttons while jogging etc.
then my metal fastener broke. and now the amrband is worthless. it wasnt that expensive, but it only lasted about 6 weeks...booo!
Customer Review: Falls apart easily
Summary: 2 Stars
I received this arm band as a gift last year and it worked really well at first, but after many hours in the gym it starts to smell, so I hand washed it. Well, the Velcro started to come off since it looked to be only glued onto the main material. Later, the metal clip that holds the strap in place broke while I was running (so of course my ipod fell to the ground). I would not recommend this product at all. It should last longer than it does and should be washable since it it supposed to be used by athletes who are of course going to sweat.
