Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple iPod mini Arm Band
Customer Review: Destined for the back of a drawer
Summary: 2 Stars
I found the armband to be uncomfortable and inconvenient. I think the upper arm is just a bad place to carry an iPod. The added weight is distracting when I'm running. Even worse is any activity that requires me to flex my biceps at all, so lifting weights is out. Put it on too tight, and I constrict the muscle. Loosen it a little, and the band slips off. There is no happy medium. Also, the earphone cord gets in the way more when it's leading from my arm.
The belt clip that came with my iPod mini works much better for me. I clip it on the waistband of my sweatpants when I'm working out and it remains very secure, even when I'm running on the treadmill. And the cord stays close to my body, where it is far less likely to get caught on something.
The only advantage of this product is that it lets you advertise to the world that you own an iPod mini. Big deal. My armband is destined to be forgotten in the back of a drawer at home.
Customer Review: Watch out! Make sure the ipod mini is in stock first.

I ordered the Ipod Mini (pink) and this Arm Band at the same time. A day later, I get an email from Circuit City (the online affiliate of Amazon for the Mini) saying they have no Ipod Mini's instock and my order is cancelled. But, Amazon does not cancel my order for the Arm Band nor can I cancel it. So, I getting an Ipod Arm Band and no Ipod. Real Lame. I would wait until you have confirmation of shipping on the IPod Mini, before getting this Arm Band (they don't arrive together anyway) or you could be stuck getting an Arm Band (for $30) and no IPod.Customer Review: HUGE waste of money!

What possessed me to spend $30 on a rubbery piece of velcro?! I have no idea! I bought this thing because I was so paranoid about taking my new iPod mini to the gym, and I thought I should play it safe and get the arm band. HUGE waste of money! I should have just bought one of those wrist bands you can get at Target for $1.50 and clipped my iPod to it using the belt clip that it came with. That would have been just as effective as the "official" iPod mini armband, and I would be $28.50 richer than I am right now.Customer Review: So good we had to replace it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally purchased this arm band from Apple when I bought my wife an iPod mini back in 2003. She is quite the fitness enthusiast, so the arm band got regular use over the past 4 years. The plastic finally failed, which I suppose is to be expected. She really like this product and asked me to find a replacement. Unhappy with fully enclosed arm bands made of neoprene, I simply ordered the same arm band, which is no longer available in Apple Stores. I expect it to last longer than the mini.Customer Review: Very convenient
Summary: 5 Stars
Nice quality device, velcro with high quality leather band. Price is a bit steep but worth it. When I exercise it's not convenient to hold my ipod the whole time, I need the arm band so it becomes like a part of me. Unlike some, I don't have time to 'make my own' and there are no armbands which fit ipods in particular, so this is the only option. Good thing the quality doesn't suffer.-Andre G Clovers
