Speck Active-Fit Armband for iPod nano 3G (Black and White)

 (8 customer reviews)

Bought this to use at the gym and it works well. Only complaint is the arm band is a little small. I'm 5'10 and 170lbs, approx. 14" biceps, I have to use the last strip of velcro for it to fit my arm. Wish the strap was a little longer so it would not fit so tight. Overall it is a good product if it fits you.

Overall I think this armband is pretty good...but I have a few minor complaints. The material stays damp once you begin to sweat. I sweat a lot when I run, so I have to wash it at least once a week - hand wash it with regular detergent and it comes out fine, but I usually have to dry the inside pocket with the plastic screen by hand. The primary issue I have is that it is difficult to adjust music, volume, check the time, etc. without removing your Ipod from the pocket. Although you can see the screen and the dial through the plastic, it's thick enough that the Ipod does not respond when you touch the dial, and if you press too hard it performs unwanted functions. If you don't mind taking the Ipod out for adjustment, or have it preset exactly how you want it, it's perfectly functional. Fits better than others I have tried, and stays in place.

If this were advertised for a child or teenager I'd be writing a better review. However it's not, it's touted as for adults. The arm band fits around my forearm. I'm a woman and not that big and it simply is just to small. I took it to work, and passed it around, not a single person in a 10 person office could make it fit around their upper arm. What were they thinking? I'm very disappointed and I'm returning it. I bought two, one for my husband, and it's tight around his forearm, so I'll be returning that one too. Waste of money and effort. They should state in the description what size arm it will fit. Of course, then they wouldn't sell any because people who have normal arms would be looking elsewhere.
