A hearty recommendation NOT to get the Griffin Tempo Armband for iPod Video.

It couldn't be further from what I wanted, other than being an armband. The neoprene is too stetchy on the armband, the velcro pads are poorly spaced, while the opening is way too tight considering the loose fit over the iPod once you manage to get it in. Yes, on the first try I oystered my never-used iPod across the room onto a hardwood floor.

The stitching holding the plastic face to the neoprene and trim is abrasive (my Best Skins Ever skin is already being forcibly peeled off at the edges).

The plastic over the face of the iPod is thick, but flexible. Because it's stitched to neoprene, the result is that it is wavy. It covers not only the screen but the clickwheel too. It makes using the wheel almost impossible, and the glare (reflected from the irregular surface) while watching videos on screen is unbearable.

Oh, and there is no hole to access the dock...Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars waiting for it to break so I can replace, January 26, 2007

Very very tight. I am afraid my iPod will fly across the room when inserting it. There is no way to charge the iPod while its in the armband. To insert it I have to put the iPod in sideways and twist it after I squeezed it half way in. Due to this I have a bend mark in the clear plastic in front. It hasn't broken yet and it is very inexpensive and cheaply made. So if you want something to get you by until you find the perfect one go for it... but there are better ones out there.

It works great, and protects the IPOD very well, the only problems is to put in and take out the IPOD, because you have to take it out of the rubber skin, and it is a bit tedious process.
