Tune Belt Armband for iPod Nano 3G (3rd Generation)

I purchased this arm belt for my girlfriend so that she could use her Ipod more freely instead of having to constantly worry about it falling out of her pocket. The band worked fantastic. I've read on some posts that the pocket for the ipod wasn't quite tight enough so the use of the wheel navigator was not quite as responsive. I definitely could see how that's a problem but I had decided to take the chance anyways. So far the wheel works perfectly, but with time I do predict that the pocket will be stretched out and begin to lose its tight fit. But stuffing some paper in there or a small thin cloth should do the trick. Also, if your a smaller person with smaller arms keep in mind this band may be too big. An average sided man or women would have no issues with that but an individual who is on the smaller more petite size area will have issues with the arm belt. My girlfriend rangers in that smaller size and she has to pull the belt to its full exceeding extent and latch it to where the blue logo is on the right side of the Ipod (looking at picture). Though it is an inconvenience the strap still holds and works perfectly. the material is soft and does not irritate when running. It is a great product.

This item came very quickly and I have used it once so far and so far, I LOVE it! I bought a different one, prior, off Amazon. It was not the same material nor design and I was quickly frustrated with that one and it was rather useless. THIS ONE IS GREAT! It STAYS IN PLACE ON MY ARM which is FANTASTIC and the design is very good. Only thing is the strap is not very long, so it is a problem for big arms, like I have. But fortunately, it fits my arms, currently. If I were bigger, it would not. And I am a woman. But right now, it is PERFECT! I highly recommend!

I wanted something to hold my 3G iPod while I exercised. This product was easy to wear on the arm. It has a little velcro flap to hold the headphone cord so it's not in the way when I am running and I can still move the dial in the plastic sleeve. Great for the cost with no big hype. It does what it was meant to do!

I bought this armband because it was inexpensive and similar to the last armband I had. I plan to buy a new iPod soon so I did not want to spend too much on an armband for my current iPod. Also, I did not want to purchase the same one I had before since it eventually broke from wear and tear, and was more expensive. I only use my iPod at the gym and, when I start to sweat, the clear screen steams up and makes it tough to tap the buttons on my iPod to switch songs, increase/decrease volume, and/or switch playlists. I also noticed my iPod would take a long while to turn on the next time I went to use it; I consistently had to hold down the middle and menu buttons and wait many minutes for the iPod to turn on (about 5-10 minutes). One time, my iPod never turned on and then, when it finally did, all of my songs had been deleted from my iPod. I had to restore the iPod back to factory settings (I think that's the correct wording?) by plugging it in to my computer and re-downloading from iTunes. Since then, it still takes a while for my iPod to turn on, but not as long, and some times the iPod skips songs or seems to pause before resuming play of a song. I believe the condensation build-up is playing a role towards my iPod's slow reaction time to turn on/play songs and would not recommend this arm band to current iPod nano video 3rd generation users. If you don't have to wear your iPod on your arm when exercising and can tolerate holding it in your hand or clipping it to exercise shorts, I highly recommend doing that since the belt clip models have not caused me any problems.

I use this armband when exercising and walking. It provides a sturdy holder and protects my iPod from the elements. Access for my headphones is sufficient and allows the cord to stay out of the way of my movements. This armband replaces another cheap one that I had that fell apart.

I've been using this armband for about 3 weeks now and haven't had a problem with it. It is a bit small if you have larger biceps but it still fits me and stays very secure. The ipod sleeve itself is roomy enough to fit your ipod even if it has a cover on it but still snug enough to keep it from moving around. I have a decal skin on my ipod and do not have any problems adjusting the volume or pushing the buttons on my ipod even through the plastic. I do question how long the Velcro will last but Velcro only has so long of a life span on it. For the price of the armband it was a good buy and the side flap to help with cable management does keep the headphone cables from getting in my way. I do wish the armband was a bit longer but that is my only gripe.

5 STARS only if you have small to avg size arms. This is just what I have been searching for to place my ipod nano 3G in. Could not find one in local retail stores and searched online extensively before making this purchase. Very good quality for the price. Some report the click wheel function is limited due to the plastic covering, THIS IS NOT THE CASE FOR ME. Function is great. I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend this to anyone who wants value for their money. I will say that my arm/bicep is 12" and it may be difficult for men or those with a larger arm to place this on one-handed, as the strap is not very long and might slip out of the plastic clip during placement (making one-hand placement impossible). Product details list this as fitting up to 16" arm, but I do think that would be difficult to place on one-handed because of the strap length. If you are female and avg size arms you will like this purchase!

The Tune belt is wonderful. Its very useful for me since i purchased it i have not dropped my ipod nano and i have not damaged another pair of head phones in the process. It helps me keep my ipod nano safe. What I like most about the tune belt is that the stitching is good. The material is sturdy and its was well worth my money in my opinion.
