Digital camera reviews of Apple Nike+ Sport Armband for iPod nano 1G, 2G
Digital camera Review: I've tried to like it, but I just can't!
Summary: 2 Stars
I've tried running with this armband, and before I got the nike plus system it was ok. But as other posters point out, it's really tricky to end your workout at the precise time without hitting another button, etc. The nano fits in the armband, but the position is not absolute so the controls printed on the outside don't always line up with the nano buttons. The fit is ok for me, and I don't notice it while I run. Overall, I'd much rather just hold the nano while I'm running than deal with the workout controls. Also, as another poster pointed out, the headphone jack is very hard to find once you have the armband on. Maybe I'll try the upside down method to help me with that. Buy the $3-5 velcro armband with the cheap rubbery case from e-bay, I think you'll be happier.Digital camera Review: Look at the photo carefully!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this item and was very disappointed when I got it because the iPod screen is not visible when the iPod is inserted in the armband. I didn't look at the photo carefully and assumed that the screen would be visible--wouldn't you?
There is a raised button over the center of the iPod wheel so that you can feel what you are pushing, but without a screen it is not much use. I am very disappointed in Nike for producing such a product, and I hope that Apple did not approve it.
Digital camera Review: NOT a good buy!

This armband is too large for my arm. I am a somewhat small woman, but not tiny. The armband only stays put if I'm wearing long sleeves. But more annoying, the only functions that work while the iPod is in the sleeve are pause/play, reverse and forward. The neoprene does not allow you to adjust volume, and the center and menu buttons are useless since you can't see the iPod screen when it's in the sleeve. I curse this armband daily.Digital camera Review: Needs a couple of tweaks.
Summary: 3 Stars
I received one of these as a gift. I was psyched to have a holder for my iPod nano -- many of my running shorts didn't have pockets to hold the nano. As a holder, it works fine. Nice and secure.
A couple of tweaks are needed, however. First, there is no window, so as you scroll through a menu, you can't see it. Makes it VERY hard to find anything on your nano (actually, impossible). Second, the cover doesn't allow your touch to work well with the iPod scroll or buttons. You have to press very firmly, and I have had a very hard time adjusting the volume, since you must use a circular motion on the scroll, and it usually ends up reading it as "click" rather than a scroll, due to the lack of sensitivity.
But, a good product if you are just looking for a holder with quick access to your Start or Stop or Forward/Back buttons.
Digital camera Review: Needs nike+
Summary: 4 Stars
Designed with space for nike+ at bottom of ipod. If you dont have that in it will slide up and down and you dont really know where the buttons at. No hole for screen, you can make your own no prob. Volume control is really hard. But it was a good price, so no complaints
