Does the job, but feels cheap, lets in moisture2
After doing a lot of research I decided on the Marware Sportsuit Relay for my Nano. I chose it on several criteria
1) had to allow for the Nike Plus adapter
2) needed to be versatile (fits wrist or arm)
3) needed to keep moisture out (fails at that)
4) needed to be easy to use and relatively durable

So far I have mixed feelings.

On one hand it stays on my arm/wrist, the scroll wheel is reasonably accessible through the plastic cover, it's pretty comfortable to wear, and easy to get iPod in and out after a couple times using it.

Downsides are it allows moisture in the back so the iPod has to be constantly removed to dry (which I wanted to avoid), the quality can only be described as cheap feeling - especially the tacky patent number on the back of the product showing through the plastic window when no iPod is in it, and it doesn't provide any headphone cord management (although I rig mine through the strap it doesn't always stay).

Overall this is a usable device and it's not bad enough for me to replace it with something else (mostly because I don't think there's anything really better out there on the market sadly), but I wouldn't recommend it either. Sadly the Nano is now in a 4th generation so I doubt there will be any new great cases coming out for the 3G.

I've seen better...3
The strap and pocket are comfortable, but the velcro does not hold firmly and it is difficult to use the navigation wheel on the i-pod nano when it is in the pocket. I like the space for the transmitter chip and the fabric, but a 1-piece arm strap instead of the 2-piece would be an improvement since I like to wear the strap around my arm when I exercise. Needs improvement!

perfect condition5
This is the second time I've ordered the sportband and I've been satisfied each time.
