Who would have imagined that a small inexpensive armband would do so much! I use it for running and it never slips or moves....and is SO comfortable! Then, I take the armband off and use the cover to protect it....and it doesn't hinder at all! Highly recommended!

This is the perfect solution to working out with your ipod. You can manipulate your ipod with ease and see what is playing on it. It is easy to care for and you are not left with a sweaty armband after your workout. And, it is half the cost when compared with similar products on the market-- what more can you ask for?

I love the feel of the materials used. My only problem with the band is that it just barely fits my upper arm. I don't think I have huge arms, which means this would not fit anyone with arms bigger than 16" around. Other than that, great product.

Let's be honest here--even among the various kinds of iPod available, there's a great deal of variety between generations. My dad has an iPod, and for the holidays I wanted to get him an armband so he could wear it while working out. I couldn't very well ask him what kind he had without giving it away, and he lives in another state, so sneaking a peek was out of the question. I enlisted my mother's help to spy for me, and what she came back with was "It's tall, skinny, and gray." Thanks a lot, Mom.

I got her to give me dimensions, and placed my order, still worried I might have bought the wrong armband for what he owned. Imagine my surprise then when, the very day I placed the order, I got an e-mail from Grantwood Tech, telling me that, in the event I had ordered the wrong kind of skin to fit my iPod, I had only to reply to that e-mail, tell them the correct iPod and generation, and they would send along a new skin, absolutely free of charge. (This must happen A LOT.) All they asked was that I not throw out the armband itself, which fits all their iPod skins.

Sure enough, I got the wrong iPod skin for my dad. I replied to Grantwood's e-mail, explained the situation and gave them the new specs, and within a week I had a new, replacement skin at no cost--even though it was my own dumb fault for ordering the wrong product.

What an amazing level of customer service! I can't recommend them highly enough.

Oh, and the skin and armband work great. :-)

Tuneband is my second attempt at an Ipod armband. I run about 20 miles a week, on top of various other training, and music is an absolute necessity for me 90% of the time. My first purchase was from Wal-Mart, under the brand name, "Sportline." It slipped around on my arm, wasn't comfortable at all, and sweated enough to make it look like it had been raining. Since I didn't want to murder my Nano, I looked for a different product. I came across Tuneband and thought, "Why not?" It was a great choice. The band fits well; doesn't slip at all, but also doesn't strangle my bicep. The silicone skin is well designed, but it is a little difficult to get to the lock switch. The only concerns disappointing enough to dock a star from the overall rating, are that:

1) the screen and wheel protectors that came with the Tuneband were garbage (peel off tabs stuck to the protectors), and
2) no protection from rain.

Great product overall.
