• inspiring for us bigger people.

  This case is a joy to have. It holds the Zune snugly and very securely, giving easy access to all the buttons through the protective plastic. The key slot on the armband is a nice touch. My only complaint is that the armband doesn't really have enough slack on it to properly fit around my arm, I have to pull extra hard just to match up the velcro sides to secure it. I suppose that is just motivation to lose the weight I suppose.
  
  

• 80GIG Zune Arm Band

  
  By A12TKKXWPGP6XA on 2008-05-10
  4/5.
  Good: you can still control the touchpad/wheel and the plastic over it doesnt interfear at all.
  
  Bad: Armband is too small. i dont have the "guns" but i had to have it all the way out.
  Also, there is no access hole on the bottom for the recharge, so you either have to cut one, or deal with having to remove ur zune out of it everyday.
  overall, i would recommend it.
  
  
  

• Not A Bad Armband If You Have An MP3 Player This Size

  
  By A3G2QO8UX1X5FO on 2008-07-18
  I've had my armband for a few months and bought it for the purpose of working out while listening to music. Overall it has been a great product. I agree with some of the other reviewers, it does make my arm sweaty under the band but I don't really notice it until it's time to take it off. My regular girl-sized arms and have no problem fitting it around my arm. The only downside of the armband is that there is some bouncing on my arm when I'm moving or running while wearing it. I hoped it stayed pretty fixed in place and this is why I didn't give it the 5th star. It never slips, though which is a plus. If your MP3 player fits in this armband, it's a good choice.
  
  

• I'm pretty happy with mine

  The armband is comfy. I though it would make me sweat a lot in that area, but it really isn't bad. My only issue is that the plastic cover made using the Zune controls very difficult. I took a razor and cut a hole in the cover in order to expose the holes and now I'm happy. :)
  
  

• great for workouts

  This armband is great for working out. The band is thick enough to provide plenty of support for my zune without it bouncing around while running or lifting. The slot to insert the zune is a little snug when you put it in, but I'd rather have that then too loose and fall out. The neoprene is comfortable but does absorb a little bit of sweat. The parts of the armband painted grey over the neoprene will tend to crack and break over time, but that's pretty typical of neoprene and won't have any influence on function. Overall it works great for what I need.
  
  
• Great Product for Running!
  By A1ZALAIL5OJ5VE on 2008-06-18
  At first i bought i bundle pack with a armband and i tried it out and it was such a disaster that i did my research of what worked and this product does just that. The Zune 80Gb 2nd Generation fits just right. Not to tight or too lose. When Running you can switch the song by just sliding your finger across the plastic cover and your all cover. Somewhere in the specs it says its water proof but i have no idea if that is true or not. I would say no because the opening is on the top and rain could get on it.
  If your deciding to buy this, buy it because it is excellent for running. The only thing is that your arm must be small because it will be too tight! If it doesnt fit your hand right away return it.
  
  
• At least it made for zune
  By A11Y03B8X78D86 on 2008-07-16
  The product looks cool. However i do feel the clear screen on the front is not perfectly clear which takes away partially from the zune screen itself. The product is very good at protecting the zune and it was nice to find a product actually made for the zune as opposed for the ipod. My largest complaint with the product is that it is too small for my arm i have pretty small arms. I work out but trust me if u saw me at the gym i would be thought of as the kid who just started and despite this i need to keep the strap on almost its largest setting for it to fit. Other then the few complaints the product is good and seeems sturdy and well made.
  
  
• Good product - could be great
  By A1OT1YWJY0USM0 on 2008-06-30
  I have had this Belkin armband for the 80gb Zune for over a month. Its comfortable but it retains sweat. My major issues are that it that the strap should be a little longer for bigger arms and the earphone cord gets pinched. The Belkin label has come off but overall it has been a great product.
  
  
• Good Product
  By AHELHBYKMNI8O on 2008-08-08
  Securely holds your zune to your arm without all the bouncing around.
  Armband is tight, but I have pretty big arms and all I have to do is stretch out the band a bit before slide it on. The band then constricts enough to be tight on the arm.
  
  
  
  
• Good For Most
  By A26VLGQ3WVC8GR on 2008-08-26
  The 80GB Zune fits well and the product itself is good. If you have bigger arms (16" or larger), the arm band portion will either constrict a great deal or not fit at all.
  
  
• Annoying
  By A18RYQSCPK7VF6 on 2008-09-01
  The armband is annoying in that you can't charge your zune while it's inside. It's also a bit tight.
  
  
• armband review
  By A13KUN20C1SGFP on 2008-09-15
  armband is very comfortable. it was kind of a tight squeeze to get the zune in at first, and now that i've had to force it so much it is starting to tear a bit at the top corner. also since i use it while running moisture seeps through the neoprene. also the clear screen on the armband sticks to the front of the zune screen so its a little annoying trying to manipulate the zune out of the armband when you are done using it.
  
  
• I'm not a big fan.
  By A2M8O1WZRXMRQ9 on 2008-09-19
  This armband looked and felt cheaper than I thought it would. The Zune fits snugly -- but maybe it's TOO snug. You can barely fit the Zune into the too-small opening. I had to stretch it out and rip it to fit it in there. As the previous reviewer mentions, the plastic screen adheres to the Zune's screen and it makes it really difficult to remove (and MP3 players are hardly the type of thing you want to have to yank, pull and dig your fingers into).
  
  I couldn't really find a comfortable tightness balance around my bicep. When it was tight enough that the Zune didn't move, it felt like the circulation was being cut off. I had better luck strapping it to my forearm, though I felt like I had on one of those things quarterbacks wear listing their plays.
  
  The plastic screen doesn't interfere with the controls, which is its one benefit.
  
  I'll probably continue to use this -- because though it is annoying it serves its purpose -- but I wouldn't hesitate to buy something else if it looked better.

• Good Overall
  By A3I9VXPFXC6FBT on 2008-05-19
  Good armband.
  Pros: Protects the Zune well
  Zune fits nicely in the armband
  
  Cons: I have big arms so it's hard to get on and off.
  
  
• Pretty decent I guess...
  By A24C21OAKY1CMQ on 2008-06-14
  Looks pretty cool... Fits kinda snug. My arms are just a little bigger than normal and I can't complain about the fit... If you have "guns" or are a little bit "wider in the arm section" then this may not be for you.
  
  
• Great Service
  By A29VW50L53JINR on 2008-08-27
  I ordered this item at the same time i ordered several other accessories for the Zune. This one was the fastest to get here. The Item was also in perfect condition. THANK YOU.
  
  
• well worth the money
  By AS5UUGWDBYN6P on 2008-08-28
  it fits comfortably (although my arms are not large), stays secure, and the housing is waterproof from sweat (if it rained, however, the top is open and I'm certain it would get wet). my zune 80 does not feel as heavy on my arm as I expected, which is great. product is very reasonably priced and I'm glad I bought it.
  
  
• Worth the cost
  By A2IOP0NZOT1PNJ on 2008-08-29
  This armband is great. I use it while biking and running. My only compliant is that the strap should be a little longer.
  
  
• Too Small!
  By A2SNR7QLX4L5Y8 on 2008-09-26
  I bought this item for my husband and it doesn't fit around his arm! It's completely useless to him. The item however seems to be well made. The Zune fits into it very snug, but not so snug that you'll tear it trying to get it in there. After you put it in the first time, it will stretch and you shouldn't have any problems fitting it in after that. I gave it three stars simply because the armband isn't long enough.
