New Black Sports / Running / Exercise Armband Case for Apple iPhone 3G 3Gs & iPod Touch

I recently purchased this, along with an iPod touch 4G, to use while running. I went out on a limb buying this for the 4G since there are relatively few armbands on sale yet for the 4G, and they're all way more expensive. Needless to say, it doesn't fit all that well. Since it's only billed as for the 3G, however, I really can't fault eForCity for that.

I will fault them for this though. The arm strap is so long that it won't tighten enough to keep the iPod on my arm unless I modify it somehow. This perplexes me, as I've had another iPod arm band before (albeit a stretchy one), and think that I have pretty average-sized arms. I would try to return it, but eForCity's labyrinthine return policy, which requires me to pay for return shipping, makes the return of a partially useful $7 armband not worth my effort.

As a particular note of this products use, the case which contains the iPod is not detachable. If that's fine with you, and you have very large arms,...Read more

I say doesn't work, but really its just an Armband for your Ipod so to say it doesn't work is misleading......The issues I have are with the inside of the band, it fit my arm ok, but the fabric on the inside lets the band slip down your arm if you use it over a shirt sleeve? If you are moving your arm at all it will slide down your arm. If you try and make it tighter you just cut off circulation in your arm!! So maybe if they but some kind of non-slip fabric inside it would help. The rest of the band is fine, you can use the touch screen and it has a snap on the top to keep your IPOD secured.
