Workout Armband for Apple iPod Video and Classic 80GB/120/160GB model MP3 Players - Black

The good:

* The case surrounds the player, which makes it fit very snugly to your arm from top to bottom. I've always been hesitant to try more minimal armbands because I have this assumption that--anchored only in the center--the player would flop around a bit.

* The neoprene also provides a very snug fit.

* The plastic screen protector has a cut-out for the click wheel, which allows for easy navigation while wearing.

* This is well-suited for larger upper arms. Another reviewer noted that slim female arms are lost in this, and I agree. But for those of more ample proportions, it is a comfortable, non-binding fit.

* The price, obviously.

The bad:

* The hole for the ear bud cord is not positioned quite right, and has loose threads. This is due to the logistics of, well, poking a hole through neoprene. It's livable, but annoying.

Get an ipod arm band for under $2. Only problem is that what they send isn't what they show you. This seller is obviously trying to deceive us.

The only neoprene I can find is directly behind the ipod, lining the pocket, the rest is resin backed (waterproof) nylon. Since the item is essentially a throw away (it will cost more to ship back than it is worth) the seller is obviously trying to profit from Amazon customers through shipping and handling fees on bogus products. I ordered this an another product form the same seller, and was shipped two identical products, neither of which were what was...Read more

I am an average-sized woman, so when I got this arm band and it was too big for me I was very surprised. True, it is adjustable, however it slides down my arm when I am running, and I can't wrap the band any tighter. I really thought it would work based on other reviews, but it is just too big. I put the band over a wrist pad on my arm and that works. For the price I am fine with that solution.

The quality is also just fine. It looks like the hole where the ear phones plug in was just punched in the fabric. There are threads showing and tangling around that point.
