Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of DLO Action Jacket Armband Case for iPod shuffle 2nd generation (Black)Customer Review: Great accessory to the Ipod Shuffle especially for runners! Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not sure if this is an absolute must-have accessory since the Ipod Shuffle will apparently clip-on to clothing securely, but I don't want this thing flapping around on my clothes while I'm running.
I bought this to compliment my Ipod Shuffle and it was the perfect hands-free solution. It's comfortable, not itchy and is much better than running with a 30g Ipod in-hand or at all. Unless you have the biceps of a baby or the Incredible Hulk, it should fit just fine.
As someone else pointed out, the on/off and shuffle-play switches are not accessible once you insert the Ipod into the jacket. You can't see the charge/on light either. I can only imagine the reason Apple did this. Maybe to lessen the chance of sweat seeping into the nooks and crannies of your Ipod. They could have just put a clear protective window over the switches like they did the main buttons. Who knows?
Instead of taking the Ipod in and out of the jacket everytime I turn it on/off I just cut a hole. There are pictures of the switches on the jacket, but no access holes. I used the picture as a template and carefully cut through the material with a box cutter and some scissors. You can do the same for the shuffle switch, but I prefer my songs to play straight through so I don't care about that switch. The hole is tiny, but suitable for me to access the on/off switch.
The solution works fine. No problems. No seepage.
If you run in the sun for long periods of time with the action jacket and a sleeveless shirt, the band will leave a farmers tan the same way short-sleeve shirts and watches do.
The neoprene band is machine washable, but I haven't had it long enough to say if it is durable through hundreds of washes or comes apart at the seams. I plan to handwash and air dry it.
