   To be honest, this is the fastest any produce has ever been shipped to me, with standard it was here two days after ordering. Out of the package the product looks very unimpressive but, is surprisingly comfortable to use with a very soft and stretchy material. The only thing I was disappointed with is how tight I have to put it on my arm. With the tightness I have to find the balance between keeping it on and blocking the flow of blood to the rest of my arm. I’m very pleased all over and can’t wait to take this thing to the gym.

   The Good:
   
   * The armband feels comfortable, and it’s relatively adjustable
   
   * The iphone slips nicely into the holder
   
   * When it’s turned towards me, I can clearly see the phone’s screen
   
   * Decent durability

   The Bad:
   
   * The band will periodically shimmy down my arm as I am doing cardio, I have to push it back up every few minutes (not a big deal)
   
   * I am not sure you can wash this

   The Ugly:
   
   * The plastic covering over the iphone screen often makes pushing the buttons and controlling the iphone inconsistent and difficult. I am not sure what they could have done in place of this (maybe used a thinner plastic), in any case it’s annoying to have to push a button 5+ times just to get the iphone to respond because of the heavy plastic in front of it.

   The Bottom Line:
   
   Overall it’s not a bad item, I use it frequently and it’s stayed pretty durable. Other than the buttons sometimes being difficult to operate, it’s not a bad buy.

   This product has been serving me well. The fit for a nano w/sport receiver is perfect. The arm strap just barely works for me, I am a 6 ft 205 lb male. If my arms were any larger (biceps), this would not work.

   I had another type of arm band previously, but the problem with it was the velcro closure simply fell apart over time. Plus, since I use my IPOD Nano in the gym, it was getting too much moisture on it, causing failure of the stereo headphones. With this new armband, the IPOD is completely covered with just a small hole in the base where the output is. So, it’s no longer prone to moisture. Plus, the armband can be as snug as I want, and the fabric is really cushy; very comfortable to wear all the time. I’ve only had it for about 3 months, but so far, it’s exceeded my expectations.

   After going through several other armbands, this is the best one if you run with the Nike + attachment. I also really like that there is a place to wrap your extra wire around.
