Customer Reviews

Practical, Adjustable, and Comforting
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
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
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.
