| I had been casually looking for an armband to carry my Nano. The price was right, construction was good. I enjoy it much more than I thought I would, and wish I had ordered it soooner. Shipping was prompt. Item was exactly what was advertised. |
This is a Good arm band but not great

| This arm band fits well and is comfortable. I barely notice it is there when running. However, the clear plastic cover is quite thick and it is hard to use the scroll function on the ipod nano through the window |
ok for running with ipod

| The arm band does not allow air next to your body and ends up all sweaty after running. The buttons on the ipod can be challenging to operate through the thick plastic. However, the unit does stay in place on your arm and is good ipod protection for rainy weather. |

It's well made and does what I want, but it's difficult to put on. Mainly because the band is small. I'm not a weight lifter and it fits tight on me. The band could have given more room which would make it easier to put on.

I'm not really sure why this is listed as a "5th Generation" armband for an iPod nano, as this armband is about as generic as generic can be, in terms of fit. There are no camera holes, and when the iPod is in the sleeve, the fit simply isn't good. Rather than make direct contact with your iPod, the plastic almost hovers over it, because it is not form-fit.
I planned to use this with the Apple MA365LL/D Nike+ iPod Sport Kit, and was happy that the amband seemed to accommodate the Nike sensor... until I kept pushing, and the iPod came out of the top. Granted, this makes getting to the Hold slider on the iPod accessible, but it's a lazy way to do it. More importantly though, it makes it fairly easy for your iPod to wiggle its way out, since it isn't held very snug to begin with.
As for the armband itself, iLuv seems to have taken a cue from Xtrememac's Sportwrap series. The band is stretchy black neoprene and velcro, and is fairly comfortable to wear. My biggest contention here is the iLuv logo. I'm reasonably content with my masculinity, but I could do with it being a bit more discreet. On that tangent, the band does not "glow in the dark" as described, although it is reflective. For all intents and purposes, reflective material is safer at night, but I suppose the lack of active glowing could disappoint some.
Unless you really need an armband right now, I'd probably hold out for the any-day-now Xtrememac Sportwrap, or the "case with a strap that goes through it" type of armbands that are going for about the same price. |
