Customer Reviews

An ok armband for the price by Maxine Chen
I bought this armband specifically because it fits the nano with the nike plus attachment and it comes with a sensor pouch for my sneakers. As an

armband, it is comfortable and can be used as either an armband or wristband which is nice. However, there are a few drawbacks that buyers should be aware of.

1) It is really difficult getting the nano in and out of the case. The back of the case has an opening similar to that of a pillowcase, except there are two stitches that make the opening about .25 inches too narrow on either side. I have to really struggle to shove the nano with the attachment in there and getting it out is even more of a hassle, since there is quite a bit of humidity built up between the screen and the plastic front (sweat does get into the case from the back).

2) It is not entirely waterproof/sweatproof. I don’t sweat heavily, but I have noticed after runs that there is some humidity build up in the case on the back of the ipod and between the screen and the plastic, making the plastic cling to the screen. Therefore, don’t expect this armband to protect your ipod in a downpour.

3) The first armband I received had faulty stitching on the top which caused part of the top to rip off while I was trying to get the ipod into the case. I sent it back to the Amazon marketplace seller and they sent me back a replacement.

For the price, I expected a better designed and better quality armband. While waiting for my replacement, I bought a different one for about 5 bucks after shipping. It is called “nansporty” which is basically a knockoff of the official Apple armband. With a 1.5 inch piece of double sided velcro, I was able to get that case to fit the nano with the nike plus attachment. It comes in better colors and seems to be more sweatproof than this one. I also have an easier time getting the nano into and out of that case (although that one is a bit snug too).

There must be better alternatives. by CJ
Very difficult for me to use the iPod in this armband. What a major pain when you are actually trying to use the nike + application, which really is the whole point! Also, I found it much easier to read if I wear the iPod on the inside of my wrist. It would be much easier if you could download the workout info without taking the iPod out of the armband (since it is such an incredibly tight fit). I only use it when I don’t have any pockets. The original msrp of $30 is about twice what it is worth and I wish I would have tried something else.

Works great by Melissa Rogers
This is a great alternative to having Nike+ shoes. The pouch works great. My ipod picks it up with no problem. I have no complaints with the armband either. It fits with the Nike attachment great. Would highly recommend.

Pretty good deal by Timothy M. Mangold
The armband is comfortable to wear and the sensor pouch is also nice. It also came with screen and click wheel protectors in addition to plastic cover. The plastic cover does stick to the click wheel, making it difficult to change volume at times.
