Armband for iPod Classic; Also Fits iPod Touch 4th - 1st Generation

I've used this exact model for about 10 years now for my insulin pump (Medronic 630G) while I sleep. I can't speak for the MP3 player portion of it, but it The neoprene strap is super comfortable and it keeps the pump tubing from getting snagged on anything. I'm able to read the screen clearly & interact with the buttons through the plastic easily, and even use it as a mini flashlight if I need to get up in the middle of the night. I had to replace this every 5 years or so as the plastic screen starts to crack at the bottom (see picture) and after year 4, the band starts to lose some of its elasticity. At this price, it's a super comfortable solution and I'm actually buying another 2 or 3 to last me another decade.

Works perfectly for my Mytouch 3G Android Phone. The material is elastic so it easily stretches to accommodate the phone, and holds it securely. The band does have a small tendency to slide down your arm as you go unless you overtighten which makes it uncomfortable. From a design perspective, there's not much that could be done to mitigate this affect, and really it doesn't cause a problem in my usage, but it's something others may want to be aware of. Overall a great product none-the-less.

Not a bad armband. Fits snug on my arm while I work out. It earned only three stars from me because when the IPOD is fully inserted, there is no opening for the headphones on the top flap. One has to peel the top back to enable the headphone insert. The top stays open the entire time the headphones are plugged in.This prevents the IPOD from being seated fully into the case during workouts. Fortunately for me, my workouts consist mostly of cardio-routines so I don't have to worry about the IPOD slipping out of the case with the top uncovered. Additionally, you cannot use the scroll functions of the wheel through the plastic. Push functions such stop, skip and pause do work through the plastic. Update: I stand corrected. I am adding an extra star to my initial review. I was actually using the armband upside down. There are openings on the armband that allow the use of headphones with the IPOD FULLY inserted. Please look at attached pictures. I still maintain only four stars because the plastic shield doesn't allow volume adjustment during use. You have to make the volume adjustment before insertion. Other than this observed con, this armband is the best I have ever owned. Additionally, fit is snug on my arm. Get it!!!

I purchased this armband because my Griffin band that I've had for a few years now tore on the side. I was looking for something more durable than anything I've seen available from Griffin. I thought I found it when I saw this armband on amazon. Now having arrived, I can say that the seller did do a fantastic job in shipping out their product as soon and promptly as possible. Yay for Prime! However, the armband has barely met even my basic expectations. I wanted something that would encase my entire iPod classic and granted I have an older model of the classic, I don't even see how I a touch or something bigger or wider than a classic iPod could fit in this thing. It does stretch out to "fit" the iPod. My classic is completely encased with a little bit of wiggle room but that is really only due to the fact that it feels like it's about to pop out. Also, I don't know how the newer iPod classic models are made, but my 160GB classic iPod has the headphone jack and hold button on the top while the charging plug is on the bottom. This band has the holes for headphones and anything accessible upside down. You put the iPod completely in through the bottom of the band where it opens up all the way so if you want to have it facing the proper way, the entry hole for the iPod in the armband ends up facing the floor. My concern is that when I am doing high intensity exercise my iPod will slip out. And really, my iPod is far more important than this armband that costs about 15 bucks but really worth about 10. The fit of the band is slightly cumbersome as well. Adjusting the band is about as easy can get but if you've got muscular arms or really small arms, you are out of luck. You can fashion something for yourself to make due with the lack of extra length adjustment by either adding more fabric if you want to fit a bigger arm or you can tighten it to its tightest possible if you've got an especially small arm...but I feel that there are other bands that can probably save you this trouble. Some pros are the material it's made out of. It feels comfortable enough and since I am going to wear it upside down with the headphone jack facing the floor, I almost have faith that this will perform like I want it to. And by that I mean I hope it lets me listen to music while I'm having fun sweating it out and my iPod doesn't fly off my arm and hit my shins. I am a somewhat profuse sweater so if this doesn't completely absorb everything I'm going to give it then this band might deserve a full three stars. In my opinion, this band should get a 2.5 star rating, but I don't have that option. This is mediocre at best. It's more effort for me to return than to keep it. Last pro would be that the plastic screen does actually change the controls. This is an alright feature as I'm glad I will only have to just change songs by clicking "next" or "back" on my iPod. Dealing with the scroll through this plastic screen is already more trouble than that is worth. Good thing for Sennheiser headphones that have the volume control option. Sorry for the lengthy review, but if I had the option of something better than this I would go for that. If it wasn't more trouble to return this item, then I would do that. I believe there are better products available for an iPod classic as this certainly isn't it. If you're not going to be doing heavy exercise (high intensity interval training, running in the hot outdoors, sports, anything that would make you sweat and not glisten) then this might be the armband for you!

Works great for when I workout or go on a run. Or just going anywhere. Slide it up to your upper arm, run the headset under your shirt and put them in your ear, you're good to go.

This is a really great armband. Love that the strap does not have velcro, because I've had problems with velcro bands falling apart in the past. This fits very snug, and doesn't get loose no matter what physical activity I am doing. Fits my I-pod classic perfectly. Seems like a very well made product product and I am very happy with my purchase. Will definitelt buy this brand again in the future.

I like it. It serves the purpose. The controls work fine through the plastic and I love that I don't have to remove it from the case to charge it. Everything is easy access. The band stays in place so far and doesn't loosen right up while working out like other brands have. I've been using it for a classic style ipod for a few months.

Falsely advertised. Product was described as "Fits all generations of iPod classic and 1st – 4th generations of iPod touch. Does not fit iPod touch 5G (fifth generation)." My iPod Classic 4th Gen didn’t fit the casing of the armband. The casing is about 3 skinny fingers wide. My iPod Classic is 4 fingers wide. It’s disappointing bc it’s a cute armband and it looks like a great quality.

Nice product but, not as functional as my old one. No Velcro on the strap to hold at right tightness while working. Also don’t like the fact that you put your iPod in the bottom and after a while the material won’t be strong enough to hold it in the sleeve.

Vale lo que cuesta, si quieres proteger un ipod de aprox 1p mi pesos, vale la pena pagar el precio por este brazalete hecho a la medida , lo garantizo al 100%

Ich hab mehrere benutzt aber das ist das beste von alle
