Tuneband, Grantwood Technology's Armband, Silicone Skin, and Screen Protector for iPod Nano, 3rd Generation, Compatible with Nike+iPod, BLACK

This ipod arm band is exactly as described and does just great.

The price was a good and the deliverly was prompt.

I look forward to doing business with Grantwood in the future.

This is exactly what I was looking for. A lightweight case and band to use with my iPod when running. I have a really skinny arm, and it's hard to find bands that fit it well. This one is perfect, because the whole thing is velcro, so you don't have only certain places where you can fasten it. I love it!

I bought this band and the Belkin at the same time because my original Apple-brand armband that I purchased with my Nano degraded and fell apart. The Apple armband had issues staying velcro'd, so I picked what I thought were the two best options out there to try. The Belkin is a nice product, but it's rather small (I'm 6'0", 162lbs...wouldn't say that I'm abnormally large), and the neoprene doesn't stretch. It also absorbs moisture which means after a 10k run, my iPod is wet.

As for the Tuneband, it's terrific! The band is not huge, but the elastic is stretchy (meaning the iPod stays in place without cutting off circulation to the rest of your arm). I was a little skeptical about the silicone case, but it holds the iPod securely, and provides a nice cushion in the event that you drop your iPod. There's no issue with working the controls--they're readily accessible--and you can sync your iPod without removing it from the case.

In summary, when comparing the Apple brand armband, the Belkin and the Tuneband, the Tuneband is by far the best bet!

The silicone skin fits like a clove, but still allows easy access to the control wheel and does not hinder the screen at all. The Arm band is great to throw on and go to the gym.
