Black 5th Generation Armband for iPod Nano

 (32 customer reviews)

This armband worked great for a few days, and then the little velcro cicrles started falling off. Looking at the backs of them, you can see they were held on by only a minimal amount of glue, to a band that is made of stretchy material. There's no way they could expect the velcro to stay on without sewing them into place. Don't waste your time looking at this armband - spend a few extra bucks to get a good one.

Within the first time using this product, one of the velcro circles came unglued from the armband. It is also an extremely tight squeeze to try to fit the ipod into the sleeve, and it is impossible to fit in with the plastic case. I would have preferred the sleeve for the ipod to be a bit more flexible so I can leave it in its protective case and still fit it in the sleeve to go running. Despite its imperfections, it still serves its function, but I doubt it will last a very long time.

I bought this armband so that I can listen to my iPod Nano while going on runs. The pouch itself is actually decently made, as the iPod fits into it very well. Its easy to see the screen and access the controls.

The main problem here is the armband itself. Actually, the first thing that I noticed when I got the product was how small the surface area of the Velcro patches was. Sure enough, after about my fourth run with this thing, the Velcro patches on the armband started to come undone pretty regularly. Now, I have to interrupt my runs about three times to re-strap and tightened the band up. So to sum it up, aside from the pouch, this thing is really poorly made and I most definitely do not recommend it to anyone.
