Great Quality, Poor Functionality,

First, let me say that I have purchased and heavily-used several iPod products from Speck before, with great satisfaction. The quality of their products for iPods is unmatched. With that said, this product design was very poor. I'm not sure why they changed their armband for the 2G Nano from the version they made for the 1G Nano. I'll break it down:
Pros:
+ Excellent quality and workmanship - High quality and reflective materials.
+ Would probably work fairly well if you only use this for running.
Cons:
- Armband is NOT flexible (stretchy), so if you use this for working out with weights, it is really difficult to find a tightness that works. You're constantly adjusting it to keep comfortable. I have left pinchmarks on my arm several times from working out with this armband.

it's a nice product, well made, cool design. However, even on my average size arms, there's about 2 inches of extra armband sticking out past the velcro. If you're a big guy, it's prbly fine for you. If you're a young person, a woman, or a skinny runner (or all three) you might want to look for something that fits a little better. Not sure who they sized when they made this item.

Nano Armband,

Works great. 2nd Gen has a sleeve inside the band that can hold an ID or key while you run. Fits a 1st Gen nano as well. Also comes with a velcro pouch you can put on your shoe if you use the Nike product. Definitely recommend.
