Awesome 
2008-07-18
This is great to put ipod in and walk or ride your bike. I also use it when I am cleaning my house. it so nice not to have to carry or put in your pocket. Well worth the money.
good buy 
2008-07-14
a great product with good utility and value for money! love the small pocket for my gym locker key
the only criticism . pulling the ipod out from the plastic sleeve as the clear cover sticks to the ipod screen during exercise.
just what I needed 2008-07-12
Just got an iPod nano to use when working out and this armband was just what I needed. It's comfortable and serves its purpose.
junk 
2008-07-12
Fell apart after 6 weeks use. The front plastic panel came away from the neoprene.
Also, like other reviewers I didn't find it especially comfortable on my arm.
pretty darn good 2008-07-09
this product was very good. makes it alot easier to jog and listen to my favorite tunes. before i was using surran wrap and putting my ipod in my bra. i know very ghetto. but i really enjoy the convience of the arm band. there is even a slot for me to put my house key into!
Good Sports Band 2008-07-24
Have this product and it is eveything I want in a ipod sports band.Good looks and is very light and stable on arm.
not a good experience 2008-07-23
I bought this product to go along with my 3G nano. The band was really small, and the screen often fogged up and you couldn't even see the display. The decoration on the band began to breakdown and stained my ipod outer shell and the ear connection to corroded from its inability to prevent the sweat from affecting the ipod. The little armband was really bad, and I would not buy another one of these. I'm currently looking at the nike armband, so we will see.
Major usability weaknesses drag down what would be an otherwise high score.

I got the Belkin armband when I purchased my iPod Nano 3G a few months ago since I would primarily be using the iPod while walking for exercise. My experience using the armband several times per week over the past 2 months is as follows:
High points:
1. The armband is much more comfortable than the AM/FM radio armband I had been wearing previously; it is easily adjustable and allows a secure fit without being painful/overtight.
2. The armband appears to be well made and of quality materials.
3. The plastic window of the armband protects the iPod from moisture/damage.
4. If I'm walking in my neighborhood, the key pocket is a convenient and secure place to store my house key.
Low points:
1. I have had substantial difficulty changing the volume of the iPod while it was in the armband--I find it nearly impossible. I may get lucky and the volume will change once in 10 times when I try.
2. I have had substantial difficulty in using the scroll button (to move up and down menu lists) while the iPod is in the armband. My understanding is that I was supposed to be able to perform the same operations on the iPod while it's in the armband pocket that I could when it isn't in the armband, but all I've been able to do successfully while it is in the armband is switch to the next song (or back) and turn the iPod off. For everything else, I must unplug the earplugs and pull the iPod out of the armband, perform the necessary operations, put it back in the armband and replug the earplugs; this is TREMENDOUSLY inconvenient while I'm walking.
3. If I am not walking near home (i.e., if I drive to the beach to walk), the armband key holder isn't nearly big enough for my car key.
In summary, the armband is well made and comfortable; if I was just reviewing that alone, I'd probably give it 4 or 5 stars. But the weaknesses in USABILITY of the iPod WHILE it's in the armband are substantial in my opinion and create a real ineffectiveness for me since I am using the iPod/armband combo for exercise (i.e., I don't want to stop once my heart rate is up to unplug the Nano, pull it out of the armband, perform the necessary operations and put it all back together).
Awesome.... Great Value 2008-07-20
The arm band works perfectly and adjusts to every possible size of arm. I was extremely over weight, bought it and after joggin with it for months I am still using it even at a much smaller adjusted size.
belkin ipod arm ban 2008-07-20
I think the product does exactly the job it does, its great, simple. I do not understand however why amazon could not ship to the uk. i had to spend extra money to have it shipped from my brother's in NY to home in the uk. I use amazon allot, some things are ok , like CD's, but not a none metal items such as the arm band? i would be interested in knowing why. it may be the packaging? there was allot. thank you ,mandy
