THIS ARMBAND BROKE IN 4 DAYS!! The armband is a really good design with a great neopreme pocket flap to help keep your Ipod dry but the huge problem with the carrier is the feaux leather/vinyl. From the moment I bought the carrier, I knew this would be a problem. The vinyl is extremely brittle and easily torn. I thought that if I was careful with the carrier it would last (It was cheap enough for a few months of good use, which was fine for me)...I thought wrong. The design issue is that they used this terrible vinyl in the loop that holds the armband to itself. That is the point that gets the most stress during use!The first time I tried to adjust it during a jog, it was history. I was not putting undo pressure, stress, or abusing it in anyway. Do not buy this carrier. Spend more and get something that will work.

The stitching came loose and completely ripped the first time I tried to use this armband. I'm not Hulk Hogan or anything, the product just stinks.

I had been looking for the ideal armband for my ipod to use while on the treadmill. When I saw this one, it seemed like what I was looking for. So far, I really like it and have no major complaints. The only think I didn't like is the plastic cover over the control panel. It was really difficult to adjust the volume, especially while running. I solved the problem by cutting a circle in the plastic and it works perfect. The construction seems sturdy and it doesn't move about on my arm unless I move it. I have a small frame and it fits me fine. I wear it on my right bicep.

This product has such a bad quality that I just could not even look at it. Based on the price (USD 18 almost - not too cheap), I would expect a minimum quality level ..... however, I realized it was made in Taiwan and based on the quality it should not cost more tha 1 USD to be made.

Waste of time and money. Forget it!
.... Try another product.

I generally don't like to run with anything on my arms, but this arm band made carrying an iPod so much more comfortable. It also has a small pouch for a house key, your car key, etc. It also keeps my iPod dry on wet days.
