Not what I expected. [Posted on 2008-04-23] It's a bit awkward to get on, doesn't really stay in place, and worst, doesn't really protect my Ipod from sweat. It was really only useful on cooler days, when I put it on over a shirt sleeve to run.
I've tried to like it, but I just can't! [Posted on 2008-05-24] I've tried running with this armband, and before I got the nike plus system it was ok. But as other posters point out, it's really tricky to end your workout at the precise time without hitting another button, etc. The nano fits in the armband, but the position is not absolute so the controls printed on the outside don't always line up with the nano buttons. The fit is ok for me, and I don't notice it while I run. Overall, I'd much rather just hold the nano while I'm running than deal with the workout controls. Also, as another poster pointed out, the headphone jack is very hard to find once you have the armband on. Maybe I'll try the upside down method to help me with that. Buy the $3-5 velcro armband with the cheap rubbery case from e-bay, I think you'll be happier.
Useful if you make some "alterations" [Posted on 2008-07-15] Like everyone else said, it makes no sense that you can't see the screen. I often don't even use my headphones when I'm running - I just use the iPod+ to track my distance and keep cumulative totals for me. So I DO need to see the screen while I'm running.
I ended up cutting a square hole where the screen is, and now it's perfect! Nike should just make this part of the design, and put a piece of clear plastic over it to protect the screen. Then, I'd give it a 4.5-star rating. The band is comfortable, and the controls work fine through the material.
Needs nike+ [Posted on 2008-08-08] Designed with space for nike+ at bottom of ipod. If you dont have that in it will slide up and down and you dont really know where the buttons at. No hole for screen, you can make your own no prob. Volume control is really hard. But it was a good price, so no complaints
Very useful, great price. [Posted on 2008-09-19] This product is great, has a great price and its useful. Fits perfectly various arm sizes as the velcro it's adjustable, and yes, its true it hasnt a window to view the screen, but you can always create playlists. And even if it did had a screen, it would be quite difficult to use since youre in motion.
