Reviews for iPod nano Armband

This product is not good at all!!! Do NOT, I repeat, Do NOT waste your money on this. It is not worth it. You can just sacrifice putting the iPod in your pocket.

We got the iPod nano for our colleague for her wedding. She's an avid runner, so we got the armband to go with it. But, if you stick the iPod inside the pouch, the hole where the cable for the ear phones is supposed to go through is on the opposite side of the actual plugin for the cable on the iPod. How on earch does this make sense? It's really frustrating because we thought we were getting her this great gift and now she's stuck with a device she can't actually use.

I recently started working out intensely at the gym and purchased this armband. While I admit that the white isn't very practical for aesthetics after a few wears, especially for females with lotions/makeup, i've found absolutely no problems with the armband at all. I've never experienced moisture getting though to my ipod, nor have i ever found it inconvenient to take my ipod out or put it in. PLUS, i can charge my ipod without taking it out of the armband because of how the ipod slides in. In all, a great buy, just overpriced.

Pros: The armband itself is nice looking. It doesn't slide down when working out.

Cons: There is no way to lock or unlock your ipod unless you take it out of the case. Also, its really hard to move the wheel through the plastic. When you sweat the back of the ipod gets wet.

I got this product in white a few months ago and thought it was beautiful: it fit my nano nicely, and I admit I liked the way it looked. It was a little large on my (small female) arm, but it's far better than most other cases on the market and is aesthetically in keeping with the ipod design. However, after sitting a month in a drawer at work - not exposed to heat, light, etc - it turned YELLOW(ish). It's not a stain, but there's nothing - not age, heat, or otherwise - that should have affected these materials so badly. So much for its good looks... and mine! This thing didn't even last as long as the technology it was meant for... a box of rubber bands from Office Max would have held up longer!

the arm band is WONDERFUL creation! you can use it when your cleaning, jogging or going for a walk. People can actually multi-task now! thank-you for all the fantastic work you put in these phenomenal days!

There are 4 things wrong with this product:
1) It is NOT sweat-proof (After a good workout the back of my iPod has sweat all over it)
2) The plastic interferes with your ability to use any of the controls accurately
3) No access to the hold button
4) It only comes in white and it gets dirty very quickly

The only reason I still use this armband is because I'm waiting for a new one and I don't want the iPod to get scratched in the meantime. I wish I could return this lousy product

I've used this armband everyday for the last 2 years and never experienced an issue with it. The plastic doesn't interfere with any clickwheel functions. Sure, it gets sweaty but i've handwashed it and let it dry. The only alteration I performed was to clip the corner of the armband that sits over the lock button. It was well worth the money !

That's the worth of this hunk 'o junk. You should be able to give it zero stars. Like most posters said below, it doesn't repel ANY sweat, it slips on the arm unless you pull it so tight you lose circulation, you can't access the lock button, and the clear plastic renders the wheel useless. It basically turns your Nano into a shuffle that is vulnerable to skipping and destruction (see sweat).

This band is not moisture sensitive which caused my nano to quit working. After letting it dry out I still got a white screen. I then went to the troubleshooting section and followed the instructions. I finally got it to work after 3 download tries but then had lines in it, sound was bad (became very drawn out and volume was very inconsistent), pictures where murky. I went running again using the armband and it died.

The short of the long story is I had to send back the BRAND NEW GENERATION 5 NANO for repair. This is time I did not want to spend. I AM MAD!!!!

Plus I have to invest in a new armband or something to put it in while I exercise otherwise there is no need for this product! Why else would I have it if I can't even workout with it comfortably.

Save yourself some hassle DON'T BUY THIS ARMBAND!!!!
