Griffin 8127-5GSTRLNB Streamline Armband for iPod Classic and iPod 5G (Black)

Comment: Haven't had any problems with this product. It is sometimes hard to get my ipod out of it, and It gets wet(from the sweating) very quickly, which leads to sweat on my ipod. It is easy to wear and comfortable. I can use the click wheel on my ipod with no problem. I would buy this again if I needed another one.

Comment: I purchased this armband, so that I could use my iPod while I run. It works great and holds my iPod in place without any problem. I noticed that other peoples' reviews, they said that they had a hard time adjusting the volume because of the plastic cover over the buttons. I don't have a problem and it doesn't give me any trouble when trying to adjust the volume or change my music. People also mentioned that it's hard to take out of the case, but I didn't have a problem with it either.

My husband used it the other day, but instead of using an iPod, he used his Blackberry and it fit perfectly in the armband case. With the Blackberry, it's hard to push buttons. So, we just set his music and run tracker before putting it in the case.

I may get another one so that both my husband and I can use it when we go running together.

Comment: i loved this armband until recently; real convenient during my workouts...i haven't even had it a year yet, and the clear plastic cover is coming apart....also noticed that it was starting to have an odor as i sweat quite a bit when i work out...kinda sucks that you can't put it in the wash, and Febreze didn't help much

Comment: I did some research before buying this product, and yes I've read nearly all the customer reviews for this product too. I didn't expect the armband to be great because the reviews indicated that the click wheel is a little difficult to control and also it's kind of hard to take the ipod out.

Got the armband the NEXT day after the order, I was so surprised. I asked for normal shipping (3-5 business days) but it was like express instead. All the click wheel and ipod getting in and out problems are totally nothing. The click wheel is very easy to control and the ipod can be taken out without difficulty.

Overall, great product. Just one comment: It's a little overpriced, but i bet it's the best you can get on amazon. go for it!

Comment: I had to buy a new -- used actually -- 4th generation video iPod, and the Griffin Streamline Armband replaces the XtremeMac(XTM-IPS-SPW-10)Sportwrap for iPod - color is BLACK I've been using for the last few years with my 2nd Generation iPod (recently deceased.) The Streamline isn't cheap but it's not too expensive either, and I have to admit I like it much better than my old armband. It's doesn't get hot when you run, its better looking, just as simple to use and its, well . . . its just better. Other reviewers have made three complaints I haven't experienced: the first is that its hard to insert or remove the iPod. Never experienced that at all. The second is a tearing of the plastic. I haven't experienced that either (but rest assured you will hear about it here if I do.) Last is that there is no loop to place you earbud cord into to keep it out of the way. This is a problem, but it forced me to find what has turned out to be a better solution: just stick the excess cord down the neck of and under your shirt. This (rather inelegant) solution has finally allowed me to run flat out without ripping my earbuds off my head somewhere along the way, and is not annoying in the slightest.
