Digital camera reviews of iLuv Lightweight Armband Case for iPod nano 5G (Black)
Digital camera Review: 3.5 * Low-Tech Approach for High-Tech Device A Semi-Reluctant Recommendation
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm your basic hi-concept/lo-tech guy, so I was pleased to find an armband for a Nano I recieved a few years back. There aren't many good alternatives around; they're often bulky or aren't as convenient as an easily accesible armband.
After a tiny sturggle getting the NANO into the pcoket (I had to remove the not-very-well attached plastic cover sheet I bought for it), I had high hopes. The armbound attached fairly easily, and, most importantly, felt secure. Then the trouble began.
After 10 minutes or so of walking, it began to fel uncomfortable, and no amount of adjusting REALLY solved that. It would alternately feel either too tight (especially after walking for a while, there was this constricting feeling) or too loose as in, "I believe it just went sliding down my arm again"). One part of the problem is the reliance on ONE material, a neoprene or thich vinyl-like substance with no grip of its own and NO padding. I'm sure this brings down the price, but I'd rather pay a few dollars more for somthing more sure-footed and comfortable. Too bad I can't find one.
The strap is sufficiently long enough, but if you tie it too closely you reduce the number of those little "hook andloop" closures (face it, we're talking VELCRO here, but that's a patented name--like Kleenex, or Xerox--a few years back, or Coke--pre-John Belushi) and it doesn't hold as well.
After all that bashing, however, I'd still give this a recommendation--albeit hardly an enthusiastic one--based on the very low price and the lack of competition. I don;t think a hard-core exerciser will like it much, but for casual to moderate exercise (e.g., walks, moderate bicyling), you'll get enough productive use out of it to justify getting one.
If you know of a better product in the same general proce range, please feel free to leave a comment.
