Apple iPod Nano 4th Generation Sport Armband (Black)

 (18 customer reviews)

Obviously, for the price you're not getting the highest quality product, but I just wanted something that was not as bulky (and therefore hot!) as my current one. I've been using this for months and it works great. The velcro spot I use the most has come lose, but I'll just sew it back on if needed. It's not perfect, but works just fine. I'm very happy with this purchace.

This was just want I wanted: a simple holder for my iPod for the gym. Was quite content with it for the first few weeks though the spacing of the velcro makes getting a preferred fitting difficult. Then I noticed that the elasticity was giving away. Eventually the band started separating (it consists of two thin plies.) I didn't have the problem that another reviewer had with the velcro spots falling off, but then maybe mine just didn't last long enough for that mishap.

This product is not fancy or made of high tech materials but it serves its purpose. I bought this product with a minimalist's mindset: I wanted something that was cheap and seemed to keep my ipod comfortably on my arm while I workout and allowed me to have access to the click wheel when I wanted to change a song or something. It does all of this quite comfortably. I am satisfied with my purchase. If you are a person who is seeking waterproof protection, remote control buttons, plastic covering, color choices or other fancy features, this is not for you and that is fine because there are other armbands out there that will fit your needs. For those who workout and require low-maintenance regarding their musical facilitating needs, this armband is great at keeping your ipod tightly put away for a handsfree workout.
