Digital camera reviews of Apple Nike+ Sport Armband with Window for Nano, Black/Gray (TM740LL/A)
Digital camera Review: Nice armband
Summary: 4 Stars
When I decided to purchase the Nike+ system, I picked up one of these armbands too. It's a perfect fit for the Nano, and doesn't slide off your arm at all. It's very comfortable! I also like that it's washable, as runners' armbands get dirty and sweaty pretty quickly! It's at kind of a weird angle for being able to read the screen while running. I've also accidentally hit the center button when trying to skip a track. I figure these issues are normal with most cases, and as I get used to it, it'll pass. Overall, I definitely recommend it, especially for runners :)Digital camera Review: Nice product, but probably costs $15 for the armband and $15+ for the Nike swoosh, but I still bought one!
Summary: 4 Stars
I use my armband about 3-4x/week. It's comfortable, holds my ipod securely, and, amazingly, lets me access and use the ipod wheel controls while it's encased in this polyester, nylon, and spandex coccoon.
Plusses:
1) The wide armband keeps my ipod from swinging around on my arm the way my former narrower armband used to do.
2) The large velcro patches provide a secure closure.
3) The band is comfortable on my arm - the spandex sees to that.
4) It's easily adjustable with the large velcro patches.
5) The window allows me to see what's on.
6) The fabric provides enough resistance to hold my ipod securely, yet it also allows the wheel control its complete functionality. I can change tracks easily, and adjust the volume control as well.
Minuses:
1) Cost...as indicated in the title of this review, I think you pay a lot for the Nike swoosh.
2) There is not a convenient way to wind up, shorten, or secure extra headphone cord.
3) Um...that's about it.
There are many more plusses than minuses with this unit.
All in all I'm extremely pleased with this unit, and if it weren't for the high price I'd give it 5 stars. But since this unit comes with a significant price tag I need to knock off one star.
Digital camera Review: Nike Arm Band
Summary: 3 Stars
Comfortable and the ipod won't come loose when running, but it runs a little big if you have smallish arms. The ipod needs to come out of the sleeve to to recharge. I found this bothersome.Digital camera Review: Nike arm band

Great product, but would be alot better if arm band was a closed loop. The open straps are not as convenyent to place as the straps that slip over hand, up arm, and then tighten with velcro.Digital camera Review: Nike+ Armband
Summary: 4 Stars
I like it. It has extra space for the sensor that plugs into the bottom of your iPod Nano. If you arn't going to use the Nike+ Running sensor kit, $30 would be a bit expensive if all you are going to do is walk or run with it and not track your workouts. If you have skinny arms, it tends to not fasten small enough and the earphone plug comes out of the bottom of the arm, so while you are running, it gets caught and pulls the ear buds out, so I have to re-route the earphone cording to come out of the top. I think if Nike modified the design just a bit, it would be fabulous!
