Great IPOD armband [Posted on 2008-02-18]
This armband for IPOD nano 3G is awesome. I love the construction and it's
quality! And it does not snag or loose on the arm unlike similar products.
The velcro is very good! Everyday I'm very proud to use it during work and play!
If you sweat, this armband is not for you. [Posted on 2008-03-08]
The previous design of this product (the narrow nano) is far better. This design fails in many ways for those of us who sweat a bit more than others. First, the plastic window is bigger than it needs to be and this locks in more moisture as a result. Second, the manner in which the nano and receiver are inserted is poorly conceived as it leaves the connection between the nano and the Nike+ receiver in direct contact with your skin and sweat. Third, if you lift weights and your arms are bit bigger, this band is a bit on the tight side. Forth, the slot in which the nano slides into has a rubber backing, this creates a sandwich in which the nano gets encased in sweat. Lastly, because of the way the nano and the Nike+ receiver come in and out of the pouch, it stretches the fabric a lot more than the prior design which will cause this armband to wear out a lot faster or fail altogether.
I do sweat more than the average person, but like I said, the older versions of this armband never had these problems. This design is flawed for the sweaty people on the planet.
Update:A new negative - the controls don't respond as well through the plastic window, I constantly have to fidget with the iPod to get the controls to respond properly. The plastic window inhibits proper operation of the controls. As I mentioned above, the previous designs for the older generation Nike+ armbands were superior, the controls were covered by fabric in the older design and I never had the problems I am having now.
On the plus, the design does not snag on my clothes at all. It's lightweight and not bulky like most of the armband on the market.
works, but not very efficient [Posted on 2008-04-03]
Well, this product does what it needs to do. It holds the iPod in place and also fits the receiver for the nike + iPod attachment. After about two weeks of use I have run into two problems
1) The plastic window fogs up which makes me worry about moisture in my iPod
2) The click wheel is very difficult to use - it is very frustrating navigating the menu. You either end up pressing a button or the selection jumps all over the place
A simple solution I found was to cut a circle out around the click wheel making it easier to use and also providing some ventilation. for the price though, this shouldn't be necessary.
I can't believe I paid $30.00 for this [Posted on 2008-04-17]
As soon as i opened up this $.25 product I was in total disgust. C'mon Nike! $30.00 for this? This is going back. I am very disappointed.
DO NOT BUY THIS!!! [Posted on 2008-06-03]
I can't believe Nike put their logo on this piece of crap. I have only run with it 10 times and it is falling apart. When I sweat the screen of my ipod literally steams up. The plugs at the bottom of the ipod are literally exposed and sweat soaks right up into adapter parts. Why didn't they just create a larger version of the previous nano armband which worked perfectly and was machine washable.
