  I've had several different cases for my iPod but this one is, by far, my most favored. The ports are easy to access, the iPod doesn't shift in the case and the arm band has a good amount of Velcro on it so it won't loosen up during a run. It also came with a pretty cool protective skin that can be affixed to the iPod to protect the screen and dial. I am more than satisfied with this product!!
  
  

• Tuneband for Ipod

  This is an AWESOME armband holder for my Ipod Nano. It comes with a wide, soft belt to hold my a Nano) to your arm. It's very comfortable. It has a lot of adjustment, too (I have very skinny arms). The skin/holder that holds my Nano fits nice and snug and gives a lot of protection. This comes with a clear screen protector to tack to the screen and click wheel. This gives good protection without making it hard to see the screen or use the clickwheel. I also bought the Shoe Pouch that goes with the Tuneband. (Grantwood Technologies). I use it in conjunction with the Tuneband for my Nike+ sensor/transmitter. It is also great (I got the aqua - cool!) and attaches securely to your shoe. The Tuneband skin/holder has a small slit in the bottom to let the Nike+ piece (sensor?) stick out the bottom. The Tuneband and Shoe Pouch hold everything securely, and are not bulky or heavy (like the armband made by Nike). The Tuneband is the perfect way to use the Nike+! Go for a run!

  I ran a half marathon with it in Columbus,OH three weeks ago and it was great. The Tuneband is an elastic velcro strap that holds the silcone case (also by Grantwood Technology). What makes this a great product is that its lightweight, easy to adjust, and doesn't grab your skin or cut off your circulation like other heavier bands. Its also very easy to clean...mild soap and water does it. Very durable and highly recommend it to all you Nike+Ipod users. The silicone case for the nano is waterproof and lightweight, allowing easy access to the wheel so you can get spot readings while your on the run. Finally, the Tuneband and silicone case also compliments GT's shoe pouch for the Ipod receiver chip (NO need to buy the Nike shoes!). The waterproof neoprene case fits on your laces and stays snuggly in place. Highly recommend to anyone who runs every run with their Nike+Ipod set-up like I do! ~Michael
  
  
  

• very minor flaws, overall a great product

  PositivesThe armband is very thin, so my arm does not get hot while running. The entire armband is stretchy and soft and has the soft part of the velcro on it, with a little bit of the scratchy part of the velcro right on the tip so it is impossible not to get the right fit. I have petite arms and the arm band is small enough to fit on my upper forearm. I can also get it around the largest part of my calf so I know it will fit larger arms as well. Since the armband and the ipod holder are two separate pieces, and because it is a silicone holder rather than a material one, I am confident that my ipod will not collect moisture. The click wheel is easy to use while in the holder, and the screen is clearly visible. The silicone seems like a nice protective case that if I wanted to I could remove the armband portion and use it as just a cover when I am not using it for running.NegativesI have a second generation nano and I have to push the ipod really hard into the silicone to get the proper fit. Even though it feels secure, and i am not afraid of it slipping out completely, the bottom of my ipod does tend to work it's way out of the silicone and I fear that this constant battle will eventually cause the silicone to tear. The sliding "hold" button on the top of my ipod is difficult to use while in the silicone. But I don't really need that while I am running anyway. When the ipod is properly inserted the silicone wraps around the edges of the bottom of the ipod, so when I plug in my headphones, the connection is pushing on the silicone, and probably expedites the ipod slipping out of the silicone. This however does not effect the connection of the headphones. This is for my sony headphones, this problem does not occur with the original ipod headphones. I do not have the Nike + running system so I can not review on how it fits with that. However when I plug in my USB charger I have to slide the silicone off from around the bottom of my ipod so i can connect it, and the ipod is no longer inserted properly into the silicone. If the nike + running system is as thick or thicker than the USB attachment then it will not properly be inserted into the silicone while in use, however like I said before, I do not fear that the ipod would slide out completely. It just ads to the wear and tear of the silicone.Overall it is a great product. Very affordable and from what I can tell on reviews and what I have seen of other products offered that are both compatible and not compatible with the nike + system, this is the best armband out there. When or if this one breaks I will buy this same product again.
