Digital camera reviews of Tune Belt Sport Armband for 3G iPod nano and connected Nike + iPod Sport Kit receiver
Digital camera Review: The good, bad and the ugly on this iphone armband
Summary: 3 Stars
The Good:
* The armband feels comfortable, and it's relatively adjustable
* The iphone slips nicely into the holder
* When it's turned towards me, I can clearly see the phone's screen
* Decent durability
The Bad:
* The band will periodically shimmy down my arm as I am doing cardio, I have to push it back up every few minutes (not a big deal)
* I am not sure you can wash this
The Ugly:
* The plastic covering over the iphone screen often makes pushing the buttons and controlling the iphone inconsistent and difficult. I am not sure what they could have done in place of this (maybe used a thinner plastic), in any case it's annoying to have to push a button 5+ times just to get the iphone to respond because of the heavy plastic in front of it.
The Bottom Line:
Overall it's not a bad item, I use it frequently and it's stayed pretty durable. Other than the buttons sometimes being difficult to operate, it's not a bad buy.

Digital camera Review: Too small and too sweaty
Summary: 1 Stars
The only reason I purchased this was that I couldn't find the Nike+ armband anywhere. I just ran a quick 4-mile run with the Tune Belt and it isn't a very good product. First, the strap barely fit around my arm and when I tightened it, I worried that it would cut off circulation. (My arm was very relieved when I took it off.) Second, the armband got way too sweaty. I need it for my longer 10-20 mile runs and I can't imagine this staying on my arm with all the sweat that will build up. Marware makes a better product, and so does Nike. I recommend going with one of those.Digital camera Review: Tune Belt open view armband

I really like this arm band. It is comfortable to wear, but most important to me is the way it captures the cord for my head set and holds it out of my way when I'm running. I think any one who runs with head phones or uses head phones when really active would enjoy this feature.Digital camera Review: Tune belt review

This product has been serving me well. The fit for a nano w/sport receiver is perfect. The arm strap just barely works for me, I am a 6 ft 205 lb male. If my arms were any larger (biceps), this would not work.Digital camera Review: Very frustrating to use while working out!
Summary: 2 Stars
This is one of the only armbands I can find for this model of ipod and it's a bit of a disappointment. The space for the ipod is too large so the ipod slips around a lot while in use. If you're a heavy sweater/hardcore workout junkie, the compartment collects a lot of condensation from the sweat which then makes it difficult or impossible to use the click wheel. Given that it's the only product I could find, I suppose it serves it's purpose, but the design could certainly be improved to make it more waterproof with a snugger fit for the ipod. The velcro is awesome and it's comfortable to wear otherwise.
