This is the second armband that I ordered as the first one was too small (worth checking that your IPOD fits the armband – it was my first Ipod so I was a bit green about which armband was needed and ordered the armband without getting my Ipod).
Anyway, as I had been trying to keep my Ipod in my pocket and worrying about it falling out and hitting different buttons as I had other things in my pocket or it banged against my body, the armband was much appreciated. The Ipod fits very snugly and safely into the holder but, best of all, the clear front cover and space for the controls meant that, when on shuffle, I could easily change the controls and view what song was coming up next.
I do a lot of running, and this armband felt comfortable and totally safe (at no point did I worry about it falling off).
I would recommend this to anyone who has an Ipod Classic 80gb as it really enhanced my enjoyment of the Ipod when on the move. It was so easy to put on and take off, and felt very secure (and looked stylish). Defo a 5 star product!

This armband is considerably cheaper than the other iPod armbands I’ve seen; about a third of the price, in fact. Given this, it would be churlish to complain too hard about the excessive P&P charge. (£3.95 is way over the odds for something that arrived via normal letter post.)
Anyway, it does the job; it’s secure and fits well and comfortably. The main drawback is the clear plastic cover, which makes it difficult (and with sweaty fingers, impossible,) to use the iPod click wheel. But this isn’t too bad, since I’m sure that like me most people just fire up an album or playlist and start running. Incidentally, the ‘storage for excess headphone cable’ is pretty basic – you just prod the cable under a piece of elastic with your finger – it works, but it’s a bit of a faff.
Despite the minor gripes, this is a good item.

very useful for going to the gym, which is what i bought it for. A comfy fit and does its job, also quite cheap so all in all a great buy.

I bought this armband to use whilst jogging and it does the job perfectly. The band is pretty secure. I don’t have to make it tight enough to cut off my circulation in order for it to stay put (as I’ve had to do with others!). The protective cover is thick enough to keep it in place, but is thin enough to make the click wheel easily accessible. I’m really pleased with the quality of this – and it’s much cheaper than other, less useful, armbands I’ve tried.

I bought this for running off road and to use in the gym. It was cheap and so I wasn’t sure whether it would be up to the job. I have been presently surprised. It is light and fits well. I have found it a good cost effective means to enjoy my music on the run.
