Customer Review: Good armband for the price...
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this armband so I could use my new nano to take while I run or workout. The "sports" material is what I needed, so this caught my eye. I like the fact that it is machine-washable (which I haven't done yet). My nano fits very snuggly in the cover, and the capsule for the earphones is pretty nifty to wrap up all that excess wire dangling.
Good things:
-Light weight compared to my old bulky neoprene one.
-earphone holder is removable
-Once you find the hook that works, there is no problem with it staying in place. Might be due to the wicking material not making it slippery?
There are a few downsides to it, and it may not affect you as much:
-After long workouts (an hour or longer), it seems that some moisture has somehow leaked into the ipod part - which defeats the purpose of the protective cover- and it is hard to slide the ipod back out. It isn't a whole lot, and it doesn't seem to happen on an average shorter workout. I might try putting something underneath the band, between my skin and the holder to see if it prevents the problem.
-The adjustable band that I was used to from previous armbands was velcro, which made it easy and quick to put on and take off. This one has a hook and slots to slide it in. It is adjustable, and will probably fit larger arms as well. It just takes an extra minute to get it to hook into a good one that will ensure it won't slide down during activity. Kinda awkward if you are used to the velcro closure.
-You can't charge your ipod while it is in the holder. It may just be because this new generation has the charger right next to the headphone jack, and you would have to have the whole bottom of the slot open to accommodate this feature. This is just a minor inconvenience.
Overall a good deal for about $20.
