Reviews for Incase Sports Armband Pro for iPod nano (7th Gen.)

The design is flawed. You can't adjust the volume or charge it while it's in the armband. The plastic front is thick and loose making it difficult to use the touch screen features.

I bought an IPOD strictly for running and working out with music so obviously i needed an arm band too. It works great for what its designed to do! A lot of people are putting this product down because "Oh i cant charge it in the armband" or "i cant control it in the armband"??? First off its designed to be in use when in the armband not charging and second buy different head phones then! It is a tight fit but thats a good thing! That way it wont fall out when im running. To get it out of the case just peel the clear cover off the screen and it comes right out. It does let the sweat in though so make sure you pull out the nano after or let it dry some where where it wont stay wet for a long time it dries faster with nano out. Its comfortable and it works good for what i use it for!

This case is pretty good. It definitely holds the IPOD snug and won't go flying off. The down side to having to remove the IPOD to charge it is to get out your hobby knife, single edged razor blade or carpet knife and cut a rectangular hole opposite to the earphone plug. Take care cutting as the material is pretty tough and you don't want to cut through the front as well in your enthusiasm. Works great. Also, the volume can be controlled from the front so one doesn't really need to access the buttons on the side. You have to push harder than if it wasn't in the case but it does work.

I received this as a gift, and figured I'd add something to the reviews here.

- As others said, the iPod fits VERY snugly in the armband, and the only opening is for the headphone jack. The side volume buttons are completely inaccessible.
- Very comfortable velcro strap, but it has a maximum circumference of ~15.5"... that means it should fit most arms, but be aware of that.
- I don't have any problem navigating on the iPod while it's in the armband, the touchscreen works well through the protector. But not being able to use the volume buttons is really, really annoying, because you can't adjust the volume any other way if you've set a playlist through the Nike+ app.

I keep using it because it sadly seems like the best available option after looking at the Griffin armband. When I put the iPod in upside down, the case is so snug it holds it anyway, and now I can charge/sync it without taking it out of the armband (but if it stretches out over time, this won't work). And if you use Sound Check while you exercise, the volume issue isn't so disastrous. But all-in-all, this design definitely needs improvement.

I purchased this armband; the new iPod nano doesn't fit. Also it is very difficult to adjust the song selection. I hope they come out with something else.

This case was the only holder with any sort of attachment at the Apple store, so I bought it so I could run with it. I never made it out running.

First of all, the case is so tight and sticky, that getting the nano in and out is nearly impossible. Second, you MUST take the nano out to sync it with iTunes! There is no slot in the case that you can pass the cord through.

In addition, the basic headphones that come with the nano have no controls on them, so you must use the controls on the unit itself for volume/pause/play/skip ahead. Controlling the unit through the case is ridiculously difficult.

Wait for something better.
