i-pod arm band [Posted on 2007-05-14]
This works pretty well when I run. It always stays on and its easy to take off the armband when I just want to keep the case on for protection. The arm band does get a little itchy/uncomfortable during a run, but after the first few wears that seems to go down too.
Does what it was meant to do... [Posted on 2007-07-14]
My husband likes this armband very much. He uses it to run, mow the lawn, wash his car, etc. It stays on his arm for the most part, the pod is pretty easy to get in and out. I've taken a look and see that some of the controls are hard to access when it's in the sleeve. I wouldn't want that sleeve for every day use but for activities, it's just fine. I think it was a bit pricey for what you get but it does the job and he is more than satisfied 6 months later and after much use.
Good product [Posted on 2008-02-13]
I bought this armband case to replace a previous one that was really annoying me. The advantages of the Speck case over the previous one, which I bought at Wal-Mart for about $10 are as follows:
--The velcro goes all the way around the armband, instead of in patches, which allows for unlimited adjustability.
--The neoprene case allows for much easier insertion/removal from the case than the previous case, which was tight rubber and difficult to get my iPod in and out of it.
--The clear plastic window over the touchpad wheel on the iPod is sensitive enough to allow for easy navigation, whereas the previous product had a rubber covering overthe wheel, which made it difficult to navigate, particularly during workouts.
Overall, I highly recommend this product, because it just perfectly performs the functions it specifies.
Good armband for the money [Posted on 2008-04-08]
I used the Nike Sport armband that had the space for the Nike+ dongle on the Nano prior to this one. After a while that one just lost all sensitivity and I couldn't use the Clickwheel. That wasn't any fun.
I bought this one hoping for better results, so far I've gotten exactly what I wanted. The screen is clearly visible but it's protected, the Clickwheel is extremely responsive, and the velcro strap is adjustable.
My only complaints are minor and they're that
1) the Hold button is totally covered and you just kind of have to push in the area where you think it is to lock the iPod. This is only annoying at first, after I got used to doing it I could lock it pretty easily.
2) the velcro might be too good, it's a pain in the butt to open it sometimes. But the cool thing is that the strap stretches so you don't even really have to undo the velcro.
3) the plastic film protecting my screen already has a scratch... bummer.
Fits small arms like a dream [Posted on 2008-04-11]
I have had this for about a month now and I absolutely love it. First, if you have small arms (mine are only 10 in around) then this is a great buy. I've had a hard time finding armband cases that work with small arms and this one does so beautifully. The velcro wraps all the way around so it is easily adjusted and holds firmly. I never have a problem with the band slipping as I run and it's quite comfortable to wear. Unlike others, I have no problems accessing the hold button--I have a 2G iPod nano. The plastic screen cover is of good quality and the screen on the iPod is still responsive to touch. I imagine that because it is made o neoprene it is hand washable which is nice after multiple wears. Overall this is a great product and I would certainly buy it again.
