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.

Originally I bought Grantwood Technology's Run Wallet for my ID and a key, but discovered my nano would fit. I wrote this in my review, and one of the co-owners commented on my review that they also make this lovely device specifically for nanos. I bought one for me and one for my boyfriend (to fit the nano i'm getting him for Christmas) and - WOW! I was VERY impressed with the customer service, even though I didn't have any trouble. I received an email from Grantwood Technology (right after I ordered) saying if I accidently ordered the wrong skin (for wrong generation ipod), they would replace it for free. Luckily I ordered both correctly, but still it was very nice to know that the company REALLY wants their customers to be happy.

Now, about the actual product itself - it is very well designed and high quality. The silicone skin fits perfectly (i have the 3rd generation nano) and the silicone feels nice (not cheap). There aren't any sloppy seams in the silicone, seems to be very well made. Also, i like the fact that most of the bottom is open so the Nike Plus running gizmo I have can stick out of the bottom without any trouble (but the skin is obviously not open enough for the iPod to fall out!).

The skin has slots in the back for the Band to thread through. This means you can use the skin for everyday use, then slide the band through the back when you're going to run. I like the band a lot - it is fully adjustable, and just the right amount of stretch. When I adjust it for my arm, it doesn't slide down my arm, nor does it cut off circulation for being too tight. It stays put very comfortably.

The band is the same as the band for the Run Wallet I mentioned first. When I run outside, I will put both the Run Wallet (for key/ID) and the Nano skin on the same band. When I go to the the gym, I just use the ipod skin.

Oh, this product also came with a screen and click wheel protector. I overlooked this in the description so it was a surprise to me.

You can be sure if you have ANY trouble with Grantwood Technology's products, they will make it right. 5 stars!

I just ordered the TuneBand for iPod nano 4th Generation and have no complaints. I love the product. Overall it was a smooth transaction. Very fast delivery. A+++

I own a 4th generation IPOD nano and recently purchased this armband based on the reviews I read online. I have owned three other armbands and this is by far the best. I run, do various machines at the gym and ski. This armband has fit comfortably on my skin and on the long sleeve shirts/wind shells that I have worn. The workmanship and the design are very efficient and user friendly. I plan to buy another armband just to have two!

Silicone skin fits great, but the band is a little small for my arms. I ended up taking an older arm band and using it instead.
