Perfect size, features - solid brand name, for a reason [Posted on 2005-06-26]
I looked at a few dozen alternatives to hold my iPod. Some were so bulky they'd interfere with actually using the device. Some were so thin and scaled-down that they didn't seem to protect the device, which is the most important variable.
Case Logic is a respected name, and this product illustrates why. The arm band is easy to attach, adjust, and put on. The belt pack looks a little dorky, but adds snap to secure the attachment, and includes two small mesh pockets for keys, change, and/or an ID. But the core case itself is the key part of the package.
It's just the right size, superbly designed, with just enough space, a cord outlet, and a versatile but compact set of options of attaching it: a double-layer loop, the outside of which services as a hand strap or to attach the case to a backpack strap, and a thin velcro underlayer that's used to attach the case to either the arm band or (in combination with snaps) the belt pack. It's also handsomely designed, simple, comfortable to hold.

Size correction [Posted on 2005-08-18]
Just a heads up in case you try to buy this based on the stated dimensions, like I did, and end up with a case that is too small for the purpose you may have in mind. The actual inside dimensions are more like 4.3 inches high, 2.5 inches wide, and 1 inch deep.
Perfect case [Posted on 2005-11-16]
I bought this case for my Gemini XS200. It is a very nice fit, with a cable outlet on top for the headphone cable. It is made out of good solid, waterproof material. I haven't actually used any of the add-on straps supplied with the case, because I haven't needed to. It is so small that it easily fits in your pocket, and there is also a hand strap attached to it that is good to use when jogging. The add-on straps are an arm band and another one that goes around your waist, in which you can also place keys and other items. For under $20, you can't beat this case.
Perfect fit for iPod 20GB (4th generation monochrome) [Posted on 2005-12-22]
My iPod 20GB (4th generation monochrome) has a silicone skin for protection, but I wanted a little bit more protection for working out at the gym and long walks/jogs. I looked at quite a few "sports" cases, but I was pretty disappointed at what I found. Many of the "sports" cases could only be worn on the arm and the quality/durability seemed questionable. Most felt and looked like they wouldn't last very long (especially if exposed to sweat) and they were more expensive than the one that I eventually purchased. The biggest problem that I found was that I would have to remove the silicone skin to use the "sports" cases.
The Case Logic MP3 player case was the first one that I looked at, but I dismissed it. After looking at all the other "sports" cases, I came back to Case Logic. In comparison to the others, it was a perfect fit for me and my iPod.
Here are all the benefits or the pluses that I found for Case Logic:
1) It is a perfect fit (like a glove) for my iPod model WITH the silicone skin on.
2) There are multiple ways to wear it with it's easily detachable (but secure) belts for wearing on your arm or around your waist. You can also securily hold it in your hand using the loop or slip the loop through your pant belt.
3) If you use the Case Logic belt, there's a couple of mesh pockets to carry your earbud headphones, coins, and keys.
4) The construction and material appears to be very durable. (A big selling point for me since I go to the gym at least four times a week so it gets a lot of use.)
5) Although you can't operate the iPod with the cover closed, if you have to unzip it to change the volume or change songs, it stays secure because the headphone jack is like a nail that keeps it in place.
If you've got a 4th generation iPod, I highly recommend this case.
Good [Posted on 2007-11-17]
This thing looks corny as hell, but it works. Fits XM MyFi perfectly if you cut a hole for the earphones. Don't buy this to wear on your arm, the MyFi (and I assume any other radio that is similar in size) is just too big for this to work. I'm a pretty big guy, but when I straped this to my arm it just looked ridiculous. It also is uncomfortable and obtrusive on your arm because it bobs around due to it's weight. On top of that, the blue accents are pretty gay looking. It almost looks like a fanny pack. I don't know why they didn't just make this all black.
I use this thing primairly on my motorcycle and for that it works great. The XM signal is pretty much perfect using only the MyFi's built-in antenna with the radio on my back under my jacket. This case is very comfortable. I wear it for hours and barely notice it's there. The MyFi's ear buds probably wouldn't work too well on a bike, so I use koss "the plug" earphones. XM 82 "The System" on a motorcycle is a beautiful thing.
