Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple TP527ZM/A Nike Sport Armband for 3G iPod Nano - Black
Customer Review: If you sweat, this armband is not for you.
Summary: 1 Stars
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.
