Customer Reviews

Fits a Garmin Edge (GPS)
I've got a Garmin Edge (GPS) which is really intended for bikes and only comes with bike mounts. While Garmin makes a ForeRunner series (designed for joggers) which looks identical and designed to be worn, the mounts are not compatible (I wrote to Garmin & they verified it wont work). I wanted to be able to 'wear' my Edge. I geo-tag photos, which means I need a wearable GPS to track where I am when I shoot a photo (the time-stamps from the GPS track are matched to the time-stamps on the photos and that's how the software figures out where I was when a photo was taken.) I had done some searching for something that would let me 'wear' my Edge and wasn't having much luck.

I have an old iPod Mini and it occurred to me that the Edge computer is just about the same size... not exact, but pretty close. The fact that the compartment is made out of neoprene, which is stretchy, means it should be forgiving enough to account for the minor differences.

Turns out it's perfect! When I put the Edge inside this armband, it looks like it was made for it!

The dumbest designers in the world
I bought this product for my IPOD Nano because I wanted an arm band holder that featured cord management and didn't cost an arm-and-a-leg. So when I got it I went to put my IPOD in it and discovered that whoever had designed it must not actually own a nano because whoever did design it put the holes for the headphones in the wrong place. There are holes for the headphones both on top and bottom of the nano pocket, but in-order for it to work the nano has to be turned with the nano face facing in, making it impossible to actually operate the nano while it is installed. The unit is too tight to run the cord through the holes and then plug it in to the correct side. I thought about taking a knife to it to put the holes in the right spot, but ended up just using my old one. I should have returned it but it just wasn't expensive enough for the bother. If you want a good armband for your nano look elsewhere.

Just what I'd expected
It holds the iPod securely - I'd never worry about the player falling out of the holder. It's comfortable to wear and does the trick.
