Customer Reviews
NEVER SHOWED UP!!! 
2007-12-12
My experience with this company (XP Passport) was horrid. The product never showed up after an entire month. When I contacted the company they said it was on backorder and that they'd ship it out that week overnight priority when it arrived. They didn't even bother to do that! I got an email that said that my order had been cancelled. Nice, now I have to find somewhere else to get it to me by Christmas. Never buy anything from XP PASSPORT!!! Their customer service department is horrid as well.
Great for the gym

Very neat and compact.... The thing is that prepare for the plastic to tear! I have to think about getting a new one after almost a year. It was fun while it lasted!
Great for biking and running! 
2007-08-23
I'm one of those guys who bought the iPod Mini before the Nano ever came into existence. I recently picked up biking this past summer and wanted my iPod along for the ride. I was happy to find this product and bought it immediately. It's perfect for strapping around your arm as you bike or run. It's very comfortable and doesn't irritate me as I ride. I'd recommend this product for anyone who has the Mini (few of you out there, I'm sure) and needing something to hold it while you exercise.
Works great 2007-05-29
I bought this armband for my iPod mini to use while running and it works great. The band is wide so it's comfortable. I have skinny runner's arms and it fits just fine. Stays snug and in place during all my runs from 6 to 20 milers. My only gripe is that the rubberized sleeve you put the iPod in which the armband itself attaches to has a hole in it where the cable that connects the iPod to the computer plugs in. Makes sense, as the whole idea is to put the iPod in the rubberized sleeve and you leave it here. I wear the iPod upside down on my arm so that when I look down at the display the display is facing the right way to be read. Unfortunately though it means sweat can drip down and into the hole in the iPod itself which can't be good for it. It's not a design flaw in the product, but some sort of little trap door or some sort of plug to cover the hole would be a neat feature. I solved the problem by putting a small strip of tape across it. I still rate it a 5 out of 5. It also comes with a lanyard to wear around your neck and a swivel belt attachment. Both of those are well constructed, although since I bought it strictly for running I haven't used those items. The item shipped from an Office Depot subsidiary and from time of order to time of arrival to my front door was 4 days. Excellent on all counts.
Plastic clip broke first day, but I'm still using the rest of it 
2007-01-26
I read the reviews about this being a poorly constructed product, but I couldn't resist the price. The plastic clip broke the first time I used it, but so far, the rest of it (arm band, lanyard, and "rubber sleeve") is working well.
So far, so good 2006-08-28

Does what it is suppose to do. 2006-03-23
Works just fine, stays where I put it.
Hard to use 2006-02-23
I found this thing hard to use. I just think the design is not good and it's too big for my arm. You will need 5 minutes to put it on your arm.
Decent product but mine fell apart within the first few days 2006-01-24
The velcro that secures the band started to come apart right after the first use on mine. The skin, clip, and lanyard work as they are supposed to but I'll have to find another band for it work as a armband again. Its not worth the trouble to send it back when I can sew the velcro back on myself, it just sucks that it started falling off day 1.
Works great and very comfortable 2006-01-23
I've had several armbands for various MP3 players and this one is the most comfortable I've ever had. It works just like it should but makes me wish I had bigger arms but still works fine (I would prefer a shorter band).
My only complaint is the rubber case fits very tight so it's hard to take off. This might be a good thing for some people, but I'd like to take it off sometime to change into the clip or put into a dock for portable speakers. This isn't enough of an inconvenience to downgrade it a star though.
