I'd wait for the newer options
Written by RC from New York

I bought my new 16G iPod Nano for the gym. This armband was the only case option. It fits okay on the arm BUT the hold button is covered and only accessed when removed from the case. The click wheel is hard to manoeuvre through the plastic cover of the case. I could go on but just wait for a new option. …More

Not that great
Written by GF from Waterloo

I see a lot of people complain about the hold button being covered. Personally, I think that's a non-issue. What's the hold button for? So you don't accidently hit a button when it's in your pocket... If your nano is in the armband, you aren't going to hit any buttons accidentally; hold button has no use in an arm band.
However, there are a few actual concerns using this arm band.
1. I've used this for about 3 weeks now, and it is already getting dirty.
2. The case does not appear to block moisture from getting to the nano whatsoever (even sweat).
3. The click wheel hardly works under the thick plastic of the case (seriously, it's very unresponsive and quite frustrating).
4. The band could be a bit easier to adjust (more velcro for a more tailored fit).
I highly recommend waiting for more options. The new nano is so light you can stuff it in a pocket and hardly notice it; do that until there are more to choose from.

Not the best
Written by DY from Knoxville

This arm band is light but the design could be improved. There isn't a hole for the hold button. The strap also comes out too easily from the silver loop when I'm trying to put it on. I liked the arm band that I had for my old mini where the strap was entirely velcro so you could adjust it however you wanted. This band has a tendency to slip if you don't have it tight enough and the band itself is not as forgiving. This is especially important when I'm lifting weights and my arm size is dynamic when I work out. …More

Review simplified
Written by AS from Edmonton

PRO: It stays on while I run, is decently comfortable, fits the nike sports kit and is snug enough I have confidence my ipod wont fall out. The ipod loads into the case from the bottom, something I like.
CON: The wheel is not sensative enough to properly control my ipod through it if it requires scrolling and not just clicking.
FUTURE CONCERNS: My concern for the future is that the velcro will wear down and come undone while I am running.
CONCLUSION: Decent product. Could be improved by not having the wheel covered. That really is the only disadvantage I have experienced so far with this product. …More48 of 56 people found this useful

iPODS and Armbands
Written by JM from Brisbane
16-Aug-2009
Anyone considering using an iPOD NANO for exercise, don't bother. I purchased a NANO in Brisbane, Australia with an Armband for the sole purpose of running with it. Little did I know the Armband provides no protection from mositure and although it is promoted for exercise, a bit of sweat in the ear phone jacks and it's all over. Warrenty VOID! Don't get caught like I did. My NANO I used 3 times and I can now throw it away. Apple don't want to know. I also got the run around in servicing. Finally on the third attempt, one store told me the mositure indicator which is inside the headphone jack port was lite pink or red and that VOIDS WARRENTY. How did this happen - well using it in the normal manner but wearing a shirt with sleeves that were rubbing against the iPOD whilst running. A good workout will see your iPOD ruined! …More

oh come on, it's not THAT bad!!!!
Written by SH from port washington

I use this armband practically every day. I agree, it's not perfection, but
I'm so glad that I bought mine before I read some of the reviews! I look forward
to a more improved model, one where getting the nano out of the holder is a tiny
bit easier but all in all this band WORKS, and it looks nice too. I recommend it,
obviously, and I think it is gift-worthy, too. …More37 of 62 people found this useful
