Digital camera reviews of Tune Belt Sport Armband for 3G iPod nano and connected Nike + iPod Sport Kit receiver
Digital camera Review: Needs to be more supple.
Summary: 3 Stars
Good fit for my 3G but after much use while running, I noticed that the carrier started to rub the edges off my iPod. I tried using a hard case around the iPod but the double cover over the controls made manipulation very difficult.Digital camera Review: Nice ipod band
Summary: 3 Stars
I really like this band. It fits comfortably on my arm and the plastic is very clear.
The only issue I have is that it is sometime hard to increase the volume because of the pastic piece that covers the face of the ipod. Other than that the quality is good and it stays on even when I'm running.
Digital camera Review: Not Bad
Summary: 4 Stars
I am new to the I-pod revolution, as the new 8g gen. 3 nano is my first I-pod. However, I've had other Mp3 players in the past. I do like the little thing and this armband makes it easy to carry on runs, walks & workouts. The headphone cord holder works pretty well...it can just be a little tricky to get it to the length you want...the plastic screen makes it a little more difficult to operate the click wheel, but it's manageable...sweat does wet the case and causes condensation to form inside the window...I usually take the I-pod out of the case after a run to avoid prolonged exposure...it stretches to accommodate the Nike Plus adapter just fine...I absolutely love this feature...makes running more fun and don't we need all the motivation we can get!Digital camera Review: Not bad
Summary: 3 Stars
It fits well and I like the little velcro cord controller. I've run with it twice now, and taken it to the gym on a couple other occassions. I find it comfortable and it does what it advertises. However, I do have two concerns with it. First, the area where the iPod goes doesn't breathe at all, so it's all moist in there which may not be bad for the iPod, but it can't be good. Second, it's really tricky to control the iPod when it's in the holder -- some armbands are designed to give you reasonably good access to the controls, but this isn't one of them. Anything more sophisticated than hitting the center button or forward song is tricky.Digital camera Review: Not quite long enough
Summary: 3 Stars
I needed a new holder for my iPod nano 3G after using the Apple brand one for a couple of years. I gave this one a try mainly because of the low price. It's slightly more difficult to get the iPod in and to access it with the headphone cable as there's just a narrow slot for insertion and a couple of small holes for access to headphones and the hold button. I've only used it once and it started to get moist under the plastic screen, so it remains to be seen how well it will protect from moisture while I'm running.
My main problem is that the arm strap is too short. I'm 6'2" with 14" biceps. I measured the overall length of the strap and it's only 15". It holds via a Velcro-style flap that you have to loop over, so I have just under an inch of hold if I cinch it tight. The Apple strap is 17" long.
I haven't found the ideal solution yet for jogging with my iPod, but I'll keep trying to use this one if I can.
