Over priced, under utilizable
Forget for a moment that I made up a word in the title of the review and bear with me. This product is like most everything Apple sells; slick, beautiful, and over-priced. It definitely serves a purpose and is worth having for some, but I'm not so sure it is the best product out there for the $30 asking price. I haven't even been working out my Chuck Norris arms a lot lately and it barely fits my biceps. This should be less of an issue for women, unless of course you're Starla of Rex Kwon Do fame. Despite being a snug fit, it slides around a bit as you're lifting weights or moving your arms about. I guess it's fine for a light jog, but if you're utilizing your arms a lot, it is either on tight enough to effect your blood flow or it is migrating around on your arm. The only other reason I say it isn't a complete failure is simply the aesthetics. It's like that girl you dated in high school (who some of you unfortunately married); great to look at but worth about as much as a sack of turds beyond that. So if you're one of those people that goes to the gym to be seen rather than actually workout, it's a great product. If you want something functional and attractive, look elsewhere. Pricey BUT extremely USEFUL As in the title, this armband is a little pricey. Shoulda been free for crying out loud, but i haven't used my Nano more, especially if you're a gym-buff or a jog-a-holic. Great for both. And just for the day to day as well. So if u think you'll need it for those purposes or u just don't like carrying it in your pocket, then this is for you. ipod arm band it came when it was supposed to come, and it works exactly as it is supposed to work. awesome for running or working around the house, though you can't run in the rain or snow with it. i do wish the arm band came in a few sizes so you could choose one that would fit the nano with a protective covering. It's ok, just an armband I was glad that an ipod accessory for the ipod nano had finally come out. The armband has a tight-fitting sleeve for the ipod that allows you to user the scroll wheel while the ipod is in the armband. Unfortunately, there isn't anything to cover the screen... The armband has multiple velcro circles so you can make it as small or large as you want. But be careful, I didn't get the velcro lined up exactly and it ended up scraping up my arm. One other issue that I have with the armband is that you can't charge the ipod while it is still in the armband. It's not a huge deal, but it is sort of a hassle that you have to unplug the earbuds, take the ipod out of the sleeve, charge the ipod, slip it back into the sleeve than then replace in the earbuds. I do like that the armband stays tight even if you sweat in it. Just a note-the armband is neon green. It looks more muted in the picture online than it is in person. Good quality, so-so ergo I like the feel of the armband. It's easy to get on and secure onto my arm, but I wish it held the Nano a bit better. When I look over at the Nano on my arm, I have to crane my arm and head around so I can see the screen. If the top of the Nano was held in like the bottom (the top is completely open), I'd be able to wear it upside down and be able to see the screen and reach the wheel more easily. | |
