Digital camera reviews of Belkin Dual-Fit Armband for iPod nano 4G (Black)
Digital camera Review: A mostly great product for someone with chicken-little arms.
Summary: 4 Stars
My arm radius might be 7" around (like, the doctor usually uses a child cuff when taking my blood pressure.) Amazingly, this product actually fit my arms. I really like how comfortable and easy it is to use. The only downside is the funky plastic used to product the iPod's front; it's plastic that can get funky easily - especially at the gym. Also, the fabric is loose enough that it doesn't stay aligned with the holes for the buttons/ports on the top and bottom. Otherwise, it is a sound product.Digital camera Review: Awesome Neoprene Arm Band!
Summary: 5 Stars
This arm band is fantastic! The neoprene is soft and comfortable and stays put, even when wet or over clothing. However, the casing is NOT waterproof for the ipod - I wish it were. The ipod fits perfectly and you can even charge the ipod through this case. My brother uses this armband at work and loves it!Digital camera Review: Belkin Dual Fit Armband for iPod nano 4G (Black)
Summary: 4 Stars
This armband works well with the iPod nano, headphones are easily accessed and overall it stays secure while I run, etc... The only complaints I have with it are, it is hard to spin the wheel through this plastic casing. Also the armband does not stretch very far so if you have bigger arms this is not ideal.Digital camera Review: Cheap and serves its purpose
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a Marine stationed on Okinawa, so it's safe to say I've used this arm band a lot since all i really do is weight lift every day. All reviews seem to be negative so i thought I'd put in my opinion.
First off the absorption of sweat:
I too lift weights for a solid hour to hour an a half, so by no means are my work outs not stressful. But I don't know what the hell you guys seem to be doing to sweat through this arm band. But this is what i do to prevent it. It comes with a little card board shape of an ipod when you buy it, i just slip my ipod in front of this while in the arm band.. it's still a nice fit so don't say it won't. Also i keep my barracks key in the nice little pouch in the back that rests against your arm. It's a flat key that fits perfectly. (Since you probably won't have a key like mine; be smart, cut out a thin piece of card board and use this instead. Problem solved. Adapt and overcome right?)
The arm band being too small:
I was skeptical when buying it because lots of reviews say, "it's not comfortable and too small." Ok let me specify those that didn't. If you are a 210lb + man who does nothing but weight lift.. ya ok this thing probably won't fit you. No big just go back and return it. I'm 160lbs, with the skinny frame but i've packed on lots of muscle since joining the Corps.. I'm very cut but this thing still fits my arm and isn't "uncomfortable" when lifting. It extends to a good med/lg sized arm.
The plastic is too thick? :
Some said the plastic is too thick around the wheel..? I won't deny it, but it's not impossible to operate. Use your freakin finger nail to scroll then! i don't know? i get mine to adjust volume and search songs just fine. This is probably because it keeps out the rain off the majority of the ipod. I live on a tropical island people where it's 90% + humidity when i walk outside the gym. So yes i've been rained on from the gym to my barracks and had this thing on my arm for a good 20 seconds before realizing. F**k maybe i'm just lucky? but the ipod wasn't affected at all. I've also checked several times to make sure it's not "fogging up" like people claimed. There MIGHT be a little from what i can see, but defiantly NOT enough to kill the ipod in noticeable water.. you guys exaggerate too much.
I gave it a 4/5 because yes it's not perfect, but i'm also not complaining. For 19.95 at the base PX.. the arm band does its job
Digital camera Review: Comfortable, Cheap, but hard to control
Summary: 3 Stars
Everything is great except for the control. There is no way that anyone can adjust the volume with this thing on. Not worried about sweat going in so I cut a circle around the control and that made it much better. Now it is perfect.
