Well-made, attractive, but I can't use it October 22, 2008

I purchased this from J&R (good service, quick shipping, all good) hoping to wear it while working out. On the good side, the sleeve is well-made and attractive, and it fits the iPod Nano 4G well. You can get to the lock button on the top. But two things keep me from using it every day. First, I'm just not comfortable with the band around my arm when lifting weights. The strap isn't quite long enough for me to get a comfortable fit. But the biggest challenge for me is operating the controls through the clear plastic cover. Even with the sleeve unstrapped and the case held in my hand, sitting down and concentrating, I'm unable to navigate the menus one click at a time through the clear cover. In numerous tries, I haven't been successful selecting what I want from the menus while the iPod was in this case. I've thought about cutting a hole in the center, but the case isn't all that comfortable for me anyway. Try operating your iPod with a clear sheet of overhead projector film in front of the click wheel. If you can do it, then you will probably be successful with this case. I've ended up just putting my iPod in my pocket.
 Not meant for real exercise. Not water resistant. Silly, in general. November 3, 2008

Alright. I live in Grenada where I go to medical school. It is hot and humid here, but I refuse to give up my favorite sport: running. I had a friend bring this armband down when he came to visit me, along with a new 4th generation iPod nano. My previous iPod was ruined when I was caught in a downpour and my former armband failed.
Every product description describes this armband as "water resistant". Really? It can't even keep my sweat out of the compartment. The first time I used it, my new iPod was swimming in my own effluent (read: sweat).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The ends of this armband are completely open (no flaps or anything to keep water out) and the open portion is held directly against the skin, which seems to guide sweat from your arm directly into the iPod compartment. I'd return it, but there is no way for me to get another one on this island. I've resorted to a system using ziplock bags and rubber bands to keep my own sweat from ruining my iPod. I dread the day that I get caught in one of our rain storms.
TAKE HOME MESSAGE: In terms of "water resistant" armbands, this is the worst one I've ever had. Look elsewhere.
I have other gripes about this armband, but I'm tired and I have work to do. I'm sure there are good armbands out there, but this isn't one of them.
OK accessory November 13, 2008

This is an OK running case for the iPod Nano 4g. The ipod case is slightly off with the positioning but protects the ipod quite nice. Have not yet ran with it but have walked with it in my house and feels great. The texture of the case is great. The problem I have with the case is how hard it is to scroll the wheel. I have only been successful with scrolling the wheel once so I'm just going to have to take the ipod out when I want to change a song or just make a playlist. I love the ipod nano 4g but I would not suggest this running accessory.

I'm surprised that reviewers give this three stars, but note flaws that make this armband useless for its intended purpose. First, the unit collects moisture during any sort of strenuous exercise. This is fatal to iPods, and I nearly lost mine during a 20-mile run (yes, I have high demands). And the plastic cover is not aligned with the iPod's controls, meaning song change and volume controls are hit and miss, at best.
Your money is valuable. Look elsewhere until Belkin offers you something you deserve.

This is a nice armband for price. Delivered quickly from this merchant. It's light and well made. It can be difficult to insert and remove the synching cord.
