Practical, Adjustable, and Comforting Jun 06, 2007
By Jason Bourne The package contains the following pieces:
1) A transparent screen protector that can be used ONCE! if you fail to attach it correctly to the screen leaving no air bubbles, you are done! otherwise, I'm afraid you will end up throwing it in the bin!
2) A Silicon case to cover the iPod. Here's a tip on how to put your iPod in it without tearing it, simply insert your iPod from the screen opening, not from the below opening (the blow opening can be torn when you expand it to insert your iPod)
3) An adjustable elastic wide armband that can fit nicely on your arm as long as it's not bigger than 18"/45cm!
My experience with it was dumping the screen protector as I was unable to get rid of one air bubble, and when I tried to take off the protector a little bit to clean the area where the bubble was, I ended up creating more air bubbles! my advice is, clean the screen fully before applying the cover. As for the case itself, it fits the iPOD nicely, and the armband surrounds my 18"/45cm arm nicely but without any room for expansion. I wasn't sure I will feel comfortable while weight lifting, especially when training arms, but to my surprise, even with Biceps curls and close-grip bench press (target the main muscles in your arms, biceps and triceps) and even with the pump that results from exercising, I was still comfortable with it.
One last thing, I would recommend putting your iPod upside down while you are attaching it using the armband (click wheel up and screen down); this is because you will be able to see the screen correctly if you simply raise your arm.

form + function Feb 19, 2007
By M. Filer I don't have any gripes about this iPod armband. It has worked well for me in a variety of activities (running, rowing, weights). The silicon case is more sweat-resistant than a lot of the leather ones out there, and the thick armband keeps it tight to your arm. Plus, this one looks a lot better than a lot of the other iPod cases I see out there with full clear plastic front covers.
Also, a non-permanent stick-on screen protector is included, which I didn't see in the product description. It seems to be effective as well.

Awesome Ipod Cover Aug 27, 2006
By Chaison Griffin PRO: The silicone is a great material. Very durable. I don't have to worry about setting it down to hard or dropping it off the table and something breaking. The silicone absorbs the impact. The arm strap is perfect.
CON: I guess the fact that the ipod wabbles a little bit when it is around my arm due to the flexibility of the silicone. But it doesn't even wabble that much.

better than I expected... Aug 23, 2007
By E. Reilly

I run 24 miles a week with it and so far have had no problems. Yes, the ipod is difficult to get in and out of the case but so far I have not taken it out of the case- I just remove the arm band and leave the case on. In other words, you can separate the elastic arm band from the ipod case when you're not working out. There is no reason why I've needed to take the case off- all buttons and ports are fully accessible w/ the case on. The arm band seems to be good quality with good velcro; stays snug around my arm, yet stretchy so I can still lift arm weights (biceps) with it on. The rubber case is durable and protects well. Also, there is a screen protector that comes with it. Like another reviewer pointed out, if you do not put the screen protector on the first with no bubbles, you lost your chance to use it. I'm not sure about this- mine went on right the first time. One reviewer mentioned it bounces around a bit when running. I have not had this problem. I think it would fit most female arms- my upper arm is 10" and it even fits my lower arm snugly (8.5"). I'd definitely recommend this armband to others and would buy another.

Decent but not brilliant May 28, 2007
By K. G. Schneider

Like one previous reviewer, I found the case a little difficult because you have to wiggle the iPod in and out of a tight rubber sleeve--fine if you plan to use the sports sleeve all the time, not so fine if you don't. Once you get the iPod in the sleeve, it works fine; I have small arms, but the band can be shortened significantly, so that's no problem.
My assessment: a reasonable value that keeps my iPod looking nice for now, but it won't stop me from looking for "the" case.
