Very nice but could be better. [Posted on 2008-07-16]
I really like the armband. The controls work well through the plastic cover. If you have large arms you will need to be creative in placement. The one real negative to me is that you have to remove your zune in order to plug in the charging/sync cable.
Nice design, but poor quality [Posted on 2008-07-27]
I bought this armband as a gift, and within the 1st week, the glue came off the velcro and the band. Poor quality. We didn't want to hassle of returning the item, so we just glued the bands together ourselves.

It is just alright. Difficult to wrap the cord around, and the neoprene band is so thick.
Cannot remove Zune [Posted on 2008-08-19]
I absolutely cannot remove my Zune from the armband once its in, it takes 1-15 minutes of struggling and working it out.
The band did fit very well though.
Exactly what I was looking for! [Posted on 2008-10-03]
I've never been one who submits product reviews, however, oddly enough I do research them before buyting something. On this particular product I read the reviews before I purchased this product, and it seems that there is a lot of mixed feelings over it. I was almost shying away from buying it, and then I found it on Amazon for a really great price, so I went for it.
My motivation to get it was I'm a formity type buyer, when I bought my Zune 8G I was dissapointed there was no sport band for it. A year agod I switched my life from Mac to PC (yes i'm a PC!) and the Zune was part of that change over. I could have bought a different sports band, but waited, as I knew it would not be long before this product existed.
What the reviews said was that it was "small", that it was not durable, that it was difficult to get in and out of it's sleeve, that the touch pad did not work, and that you could not leave it in the band while charging.
Well regarding the small accusation, unless your Hulk Hogan I think you'll be fine. I'm a 27 y/o former division one athlete, who keeps himself in good shape. I run several times a week, use this while at the gym, and use it while spending hours on the driving range and putting green, and it doesn't bother me. It's snug, but certainly not uncomfortable. Regarding the durability I've not had an issue at all, it still looks to be brand new. I LOVE the key holder (a reasonably sized slit in the band where you can slip your key in while you jog, etc., which was a consumate issue for me). I've experienced no issues regarding the touch pad while in the sleeve at all. I've actually got to remember to lock it,cuz it works so well. As far as getting in and out of the sleeve, i do it often, as I plug it in to the auxilery adapter in my car, every day, and have no issues. I mean if your a gorilla who has trouble using your opposable thumb, it might be difficult. But I'm confident that it's not going to come out of the sleeve, which is important to me. I don't have to wrestle it to get it out at all, so ease your mind there. The only thing I can't "defend" is the USB cable connection while in the sleeve. It's true that you can't plug the USB cable in to charge it. Though, to me this is totally a non issue. I take it out often as said, and don't like to leave the Zune in the armband so the who thing has an opporutnity to air out. I don't know why this would be an issue for anybody, as it's not for me.
Well, that's my thoughts, i'm fully satisfied, and think you will be too.
