fits well, even on my pudgy arms...4
I understand the frustration by some concerning the lack of a display function - but think about it - once you start moving, you do not need to look at the display - the audio tells you how far you're going. The nano itself is positioned on the outside of your arm - which means if there was a window for the display, you couldn't see it anyway.

I think the firmware in the Nike+ module needs to be updated so you get audio feedback on what menu you're pressing - so you can make adjustments while moving/running/crawling w/o having to pull the unit out of the case.

Nike has actually done a lot of research to come out w/ patented fabrics that wisk away moisture - the nano fits in there w/ the module like a glove. With this on my fat arm, I could barely feel the thing. I've tried other armbands and this is the most comfortable one I've ever used.

My less than perfect rating is for the hole for accessing the audio port needs to be a tad bigger or at least ribbed w/ a gasket or something. During movement, it can shift and the thin fabric can get between the earbud connector and the audio jack, slightly separating the two and causing yucky sound quality.

Also, it would be nice if there was an XXL model for folks w/ bigger arms. This one fits me fine, but if someone w/ arms like the Governator wants to use this - good luck to you.

I would also have appreciated some sort of channel for cord for the earbuds to follow. I may start wearding armband upside down so the earbuds can go up my sleeve naturally instead of awkwardly down, then back up. I was aware of the cord to the earbuds rubbing along my arm during my walk.

The inside of the armband has silkscreened washing instructions. The scrollwheel, select button and clickwheel work like a charm through the fabric. I see why most people would initially balk at the design - but I do believe the shortcomings are more w/ the software limitations - this lightweight armband is really well designed - it's durable, but you cannot even feel it when it's on.

Doesn't work well for runners.1
I don't want to flame this device, but for me it doesn't work well at all. It is a very tight fit for the ipod, it makes it hard to get in and out.
Once in, it is almost impossible to use the ipod, the cover doesn't line up well and often causes you to do the wrong action. Using the dial is almost impossible.
The hole at the bottom for the speaker wire is not fitted correctly so it causes the wire to become disconnected easily.

In short don't buy this product.

Works perfectly, and I have HUGE arms!5
Did any of the other reviewers follow the directions? This kit works great! I used this plus the Nike+ sensor kit and an Ipod Nano (1st gen) to train for USMC OCS and it worked like a charm. And at 6'2", 220lbs and a 270PFT I have HUGE upper arms!!
It is designed for one thing: holding the Nano&Nike+ sensor to your arm while running, and it keeps it nice and tight and flush, even when doing other exercises and crosstraining. The case is very thin and light, it is DESIGNED to be!!! It basically straps the ipod as tightly as possible to your arm, which I thought was great. Anyway, I think the other reviewers are idiots, this is a great case for runners of just about any size.
