Tune Belt Open View Sports Armband for iPod classic & iPod touch & iPod video Reviews

• Good concept, bad material

  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.
  
  
  
  

• Waist of time and money

  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 like this armband for my ipod

  
  By A15YJQAU045X6V on 2006-03-12
  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.

  I like the carrier, however it lacks an explanation of the design so I can know where to plug things through. Otherwise its grrrrreat.
  
  
  
  
  
• iPod arm band
  By A2U0OIQTWJPC5R on 2007-03-09
  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.

  When this product first arrived I didn't think it would work the way the vendor explained - but it's awesome. Product arrived in a timely fashion and is exactly as I was hoping it would be.

• Ipod arm band
  By A3IT7KJN1HA3DH on 2007-06-07
  I use the arm band daily during my workout. My only problem with this product is the closer are strap. Although comfortable, it tightens on a kind of a slide. I didn't like that feature so I sewed on velcro and now I like much better. I have washed it in the washing machine and it came through just fine. Just remember to air dry it!
  
  
• Frustrated that it wasn't clear to me what size device it was for
  By A2WJPY6T8LA56H on 2007-07-04
  In the product advertisement, it wasn't clear to me that it just fits the iPOD nano (rather than the traditional iPOD). It's the wrong size.
  
  
• Great deal
  By A1IBWR97EOHNMM on 2007-05-07

  This is a simple, yet well designed product. It is essential for running with a video ipod. Great value.
  
  
• What you get for the money.
  By A2Q24SNMKQO9DZ on 2007-10-31
  This product does the job, and at the low price I can't complain too much. BUT....I wish I'd of spent more money on a better product. Especially considering I'm putting a $300 piece of equipment in it. If you have small arms, it is tough to stay up. It is not easy to adjust either. I like the feature of the Velcro slot for your ear buds to be wrapped up, but the holes for the plugs on top and bottom don't line up. This product works, per say, but don't have high expectations.
  
  
• Average

  It does the job and stays on your arm but it probably works better for the iPod classic or iPod video than the touch. If you just want something cheap its pretty good I guess. Thats what I was looking for anyway.
