Digital camera reviews of Creative Labs Armband for Zen, Zen MX (Black)
Digital camera Review: Perfect for my runs!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read all the reviews and almost decided against buying this, but I'm glad I changed my mind! I love my Zen, and I run with it 5 or 6 days a week. For me, the armband is comfortable and easy to use. It did take me a couple minutes to get it on perfectly the very first day I used it, but now that I'm used to it, it's easy! The screen is covered, but that's not a problem for me since I only use it to work out. I just put my running playlist on shuffle, and hit next when I want a different song (although the screen and buttons are covered, the armband outlines all the buttons. So, as long as you're not searching between different artists or playlists (and who does that in the middle of a workout, anyway?), it's no big deal).
If you're looking for a way to use your Zen during workouts, this armband is perfect. It's comfortable, it looks good, and it's easy to use!
Digital camera Review: Poorly Designed
Summary: 1 Stars
This must have had no product testing. As wide as this band is it looks like it would stay in place on your arm while working out. Nothing could be further from the truth. The band is elastic, and work just fine except that they put an outer red accent material that will not stretch. How stupid is that? The band will not stretch and thus will not stay secure on your arm when doing even the least energetic of activities.
If you buy it be prepared to modify it, or find something more intelligently built.
Digital camera Review: Product is great

I have read all the negative reviews but really you can see what you are getting. Yes you can't see the screen but just set the player and listen. You shouldn't have to worry about fixing your player when you workout anyway...just listen. You can change the track and turn up the volume...should be good enough!!!Digital camera Review: Sucks

With no elastic how is it supposed to stay on my arm without me cutting off my circulation....? I have tried to use this armband a few times...it will stay on for a while, then starts sliding down my arm. It already has a few places where the edging thread is coming undone. IT NEEDS ELASTIC IN THE BAND!Digital camera Review: The armband is alright
Summary: 3 Stars
You'll be disappointed after you order it to find out that it doesn't tighten itself. You can't pull on something that tightens it to your arm like most arm bands. It has two Velcro patches and YOU NEED ANOTHER PERSON TO HELP YOU PUT IT ON nice and tight. It's really hard to put it on by yourself with out having it slide. It looks cool and definitely protects it so much that you can't see the screen. I don't think that's a big deal because I usually set it on random or on a playlist anyway. I know what song I'm listening to usually the moment it starts playing, I don't need to see the screen. The only time I wish I could see it is when I'm exercising and I want to listen to one certain song or album and of course you need to see the screen to switch to it but thats not the biggest problem in my opinion. I would be 10 times happier with it if I could put it on myself. If you like weight lifting or running I would get it. Music helps me exercise harder and longer and you really need that arm band to listen to your music during your work out. The design is fine except for the two things I mentioned and its easy to maneuver the buttons when its inside the band. There isn't another armband that I am aware of and thats why I ordered it.
