Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple Nike+ Sport Armband for iPod nano 1G, 2GCustomer Review: fits well, even on my pudgy arms... Summary: 4 Stars
I understand the frustration by some concerning the lack of a display function - but think about it - once you start moving, you do not need to look at the display - the audio tells you how far you're going. The nano itself is positioned on the outside of your arm - which means if there was a window for the display, you couldn't see it anyway.
I think the firmware in the Nike+ module needs to be updated so you get audio feedback on what menu you're pressing - so you can make adjustments while moving/running/crawling w/o having to pull the unit out of the case.
Nike has actually done a lot of research to come out w/ patented fabrics that wisk away moisture - the nano fits in there w/ the module like a glove. With this on my fat arm, I could barely feel the thing. I've tried other armbands and this is the most comfortable one I've ever used.
My less than perfect rating is for the hole for accessing the audio port needs to be a tad bigger or at least ribbed w/ a gasket or something. During movement, it can shift and the thin fabric can get between the earbud connector and the audio jack, slightly separating the two and causing yucky sound quality.
Also, it would be nice if there was an XXL model for folks w/ bigger arms. This one fits me fine, but if someone w/ arms like the Governator wants to use this - good luck to you.
I would also have appreciated some sort of channel for cord for the earbuds to follow. I may start wearding armband upside down so the earbuds can go up my sleeve naturally instead of awkwardly down, then back up. I was aware of the cord to the earbuds rubbing along my arm during my walk.
The inside of the armband has silkscreened washing instructions. The scrollwheel, select button and clickwheel work like a charm through the fabric. I see why most people would initially balk at the design - but I do believe the shortcomings are more w/ the software limitations - this lightweight armband is really well designed - it's durable, but you cannot even feel it when it's on.
