Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin Armband Case for iPod nano 1G, 2G (Black)
Customer Review: Okay, I guess...
Summary: 2 Stars
While the silicon used in the construction of the sleeve is very nice (feels grippy but not sticky if you know what I mean), some of the features are just wrong. For instance, the opening for the hold switch on top was apparently cut wrong and does not line up with the switch at all - requiring you to have to push the cover around so you can flip the hold on or off. Also, for whatever reason, the edge of the sleeve is right at the headphone jack which causes it to be somewhat difficult to keep some headphones seated during use (the sleeve can work its way in and pop the jack out).
The armband is satisfactory at best - it's just a standard, no frills, velcro armband.
Customer Review: practical and comfortable
Summary: 5 Stars
Once you figure out how to thread the belt and attach it - there are no instructions - the holder works extremely well. Also, the little plastic piece meant to be inserted above the iPod screen was unusable due to the fact that the stickers they placed on the plastic telling you what to do with it left a residue of paper. But I don't care about that because the holder is easy to adjust and very comfortable. I tuck the extra length of my headphone wire underneath the strap and have total mobility without the wire getting tangled in anything. Also, the silicone iPod holder is very flexible and it is easy to slide the iPod in and out. I am happy with this product.Customer Review: good, but could be better
Summary: 4 Stars
While the casing is definitely good - perfect fit, non-tacky looking, appropriately matched holes, etc - and it has the essential screen protector, my gripe with this product is the strap. It's certainly comfortable and is adjustable for a wide range of different size arms, but the range unfortunately starts at what is too big. If I make it the smallest I can, it *just* manages to stay on my arm. I have to wear it farther up my arm than I'd like just so i don't have to be constantly pushing it up so it stays on. I'm fairly slim and don't have huge arms, but they are honestly not that small.
I guess I will have to do more bicep work. Or wear it on my thigh.
Customer Review: Great product, one suggestion
Summary: 4 Stars
The sports sleeve is great! One suggestion I have is to mention that the arm band only comes in one size, which didn't really fit my arm. I don't know if there is a difference between a man's size arm band & a woman's size but maybe you can mention that the arm band may not fit small arms? I did write to the seller about this and received immediate follow up letting me know that unfortunately there is only one size. The seller also offered to allow me to return the item but I had already opened the box & threw away some of the packaging. I've "MacGyvered" the arm band to make it fit at this point. Besides the arm band size, the quality is great!Customer Review: Great option for Nano with Nike+
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this case because I wanted an armband case that would work with the Nike+ system. The "offical" armband for the Nano with Nike+ is terrible - it does not show the display, which is really annoying.
I use this case with my 2nd generation Nano, and it works like a charm. I think the case was designed for 1st generation, but it works with mine just fine. The "hold" button is slightly off of the cutout, but it is still functional. The armband is easy to put on, and the Nano goes in and out of the case very easily (I take mine out to put it in the dock by my Mac).
All in all, I am very satisfied with this product.
