| | Description | Griffin's AeroSport Armband is the ideal--quite possibly even the perfect--combination of features and wear-all-day comfort that is demanded by runners, walkers, and athletes of every stripe. The AeroSport starts with a light, silky, flexible armband of super-wicking stretch fabric, cut wide so it stays put comfortably. Adjust it to fit your arm, slip your iPod into the included detachable case, and clip it to the band. The case provides full screen protection and can be used apart from the armband. Griffin has even included an ingenious cord wrap that takes up the slack in your headphone cable, keeping it tangle-free. High-visibility reflective accents keep you visible for safety at dusk or dawn. |  |

I'd Rather Wrap My Arm In Duct Tape Mar 06, 2012
By Pat D Alright, I need to start with the following disclaimer: I have a 160 GB iPod Classic. Some of you are going to read this and think, "Well, it says right there that it is for an 80/120 GB iPod, what did he expect?" Here's what I expect; when a product explicitly says "iPod classic 160 GB (2009)" on the front of the box (which this does), it would probably be in that manufacturer's best interest to make sure that their product fits a 160 GB iPod Classic that was made in 2009. Now that we have that cleared up, let's get started.
This product is great for a very specific type of athlete that meets the following two criteria: they have no interest in using their iPod whatsoever, and they do not exercise. If you do not meet those two criteria, you should probably avoid this product, as it was clearly not made for you.
The size of this product is one of it's many flaws, but it was the most frustrating for me, so I will start there. Apparently the engineers of this product felt that the best way to make sure the iPod doesn't slip out of the case while in use was to ensure that the only way to get it in the case in the first place is with a bench mounted vise and a jackhammer. After a 12 round battle with the case, I had finally forced the iPod all the way in, and was ready for the next step. I looked at the instructions, which informed me that I had to insert the clip into the back of the case while the iPod was in it. This was not going to happen, as the case was secured around the iPod so tight that the slits that the clip were supposed to go through were inaccessible.
Five minutes later, I had successfully removed the iPod from the case and inserted the clip into the back of the case. It was now time for round 2 of iPod insertion. I was hoping that because I had broken the case in the first time, the second go around would be substantially easier. I was wrong.
After another 12 round battle with the case, I had finally succeeded. The iPod was in the case, which had the clip attached to the back of it. I had noticed that the flap at the top of the case didn't seem to wrap around the iPod like it was supposed to, and that the headphone jack and lock switch didn't seem to align with the case, but that was a battle for a different day (which, as it turns out, is today). I slipped the other end of the clip into the elastic band, and decided to call it a day.
Fast forward to today, it was time to put this beast to the test. I went to the gym, pulled the armband out of my bag, and slapped that bad boy on. Now all I had to do was plug in the headphones, and I would be ready to roll. Unfortunately, as I previously mentioned, the engineers who designed the case didn't feel that proper alignment of the case to the headphone plug was important. I fiddled with the case for about five minutes before finally deciding that my best course of action was to stop trying to fit the flap over the iPod, and instead, allow the fabric to cover the top half of the screen. Besides, the iPod was in there so tight that they could make a World's Strongest Man contest out of it's removal. It wasn't going anywhere.
Plugged in and ready to go, it was time to finally put the armband to work. After fiddling around with the iPod for a little bit, I was able to get to my "Running" playlist and my workout began. I take great care to emphasize the difficulty in getting to the playlist, because rather than leaving the scrolling wheel exposed, so that it maintains the same touch sensitivity that you have grown accustomed to, the designers of this product covered the entire thing in cheap plastic, which gives everything a uniform feel with decreased button sensitivity. This doesn't seem like it would be a problem, just as long as you don't ever intend on changing tracks while running. If you have ever run on a treadmill, you might understand that while it isn't impossible, staring down at your right arm for twenty-five straight seconds while you attempt to change from Bush's "Comedown" to "Little Things" is certainly not ideal. While it is not ideal, it is manageable, just as long as you do not perspire while exercising. If you are one of the unfortunate people out there who does perspire while working out, and you have this armband, then you are in trouble, because the degree of difficulty for adjusting volume on this thing just increased tenfold. Either be willing to go deaf, or embrace the sound of your own footsteps, because it is nearly impossible to find a middle ground.
Upon my return home, I spent quite a bit of time struggling to remove my iPod from the case without damaging the screen of the device. After what felt like a surgical procedure, I had successfully removed my iPod from the case, somehow damage free. When the extraction was complete, I immediately threw the case into a closet, where it will never be able to attack my iPod again.
On the plus side, it does have a plastic clip that you can wrap your headphones around so that the cord doesn't get in your way. I didn't attempt to use this feature, as that has never been a problem for me (I've always run my headphones down my shirt and through my sleeve), but it's nice to see a company go the extra mile for their customers. In all seriousness though, I would rather wrap my arm in duct tape before I ever use this product again.

doesn't fit a 160gb ipod classic Feb 19, 2009
By bloodnok
"it must have be some other filthy swine!"
although it's claimed to, it doesn't fit my 160gb ipod classic. the ports for the earphone & dock connector are blocked as is the switch. just disappointing. maybe a return is in order ...
UPDATED: it was too difficult to get the ipod into this case; felt like it was going to rip apart. i'm going to trust my now irreplaceable ipod in that? nope: a return was in order. thanks amazon for being so accommodating.
Works Fine Mar 02, 2012
By Dylan Holds my Ipod secure while im working. Really Handy. One downside; the plastic in front makes it hard to scroll Up or Down. Other than that im happy with it.
Not so good... Poor quality, not for running. Dec 09, 2011
By Carlo The product by it self its great, fits right in my 160 gb ipod, nice and clean...run over 5 miles everyother day, but after 2 weeks it brokes from the plastic and the armband...it was a shame...poor quality
Re-Purchase Oct 21, 2011
By JohnnyAzores The first one I bought lasted a year. I loved it so much that I bought another one. The fabric that the clip hooks too on the first one wore out. Not comfortable directly on the skin and comes apart. But on top of sleeve works perfect. Very versatile with belt clip.
