Digital camera reviews of Belkin Armband Case for iPod nano 1G, 2G (Black)
Digital camera Review: Beware if your arm is small
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a great item, however, I can't give it full rating due to it not being able to fit on arms which are small. Both my 22 year old daughter and wife are relatively small, but not petite, tiny, or sub-sized at all. Neither of them can fit this comfortably on their arms and they are looking for way to modify the band so it will better fit their arms. I am fine with it, however, I am 6'4" tall and 230 pounds.
I called Belkin with the issue. They said yes, they have had multiple complaints. I asked if they were coming out with a new style, or if they had anything to send out which might fix the issue for those who already purchased. The female rep was very kind, and she loved my ideas on how to fix the issue and said she would write them up and pass on to her bosses, however, she said Belkin has no pans at this time to change the design now, nor are they actively looking at a way to fix those that have been sent out already and sold.
Ho hard was it for Belkin to test this armband on many arms prior to sending them out. This is unacceptable and I would have fired anyone that didn't' at least test the device out thoroughly prior to release. Totally unacceptable. Belkin, I hope, wakes up and see this is the first experience some people might have with Belkin and it won't be a pleasant one for those with small arms.
If you are a medium to large person, this works wonderfully. You have a nice armband as well as being able to see the iPod face to change settings. It is well priced and much better than the more costly Nike brand that makes you sweat all around the band and have a difficult time in changing iPod settings. Buy it and enjoy.
Digital camera Review: Can't use it but LOOKS good
Summary: 4 Stars
Well I was a dummy and made an assumption: that my wannabe ipod would fit properly in this... it doesn't (it fits, but the "windows" don't line up so I can't access the controls and part of the screen is blocked). So I have been unable to use it.
However, I like the neoprene (is that what it's called? I think so...) material that was used and the arm band looks like it's made of the same material as the armband I have to carry my ID card in, which is pretty comfy.
Did not like the little plastic protector that it comes with to cover your screen. What a mess that thing was, i couldn't get it properly in place and then when i did, it wouldn't stay there. It should just be a part of the case, not something you stick on there.
Digital camera Review: Cant beat it for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
Its nothing fancy, but considering that other Sports Sleeves are $20+, you cant beta it. At this price its worth it just for the case.Digital camera Review: Cheap and functional
Summary: 3 Stars
The Belkin Sleeve is a cheap and cheerful solution to the what do i do with my Nano while working out. It does exactly what it says on the tin :) however in my opinion it turns one of the sexiest portable media players into something that looks like it was purchased from the bargain bin in staples.
Yes it works yes I still use it -- cheap it is stylish it is not !
Digital camera Review: Comfy and cool looking
Summary: 5 Stars
I keep the rubber sleeve on my iPod as a little extra protection. The arm band is pretty well designed and it looks nice. That's really about it, whoat more do you expect from a runnning band?
