Good alternative to Nike+ armband
I bought this as a replacement to the official Nike+ armband. The plastic face had cracked and I found that really surprising considering the high RRP of it.The armband however, is much better than the Nike+ one. It still has room for the iPod sensor and the mark 4 iPOd Nano itself. The strap is velcro adjustable, which is yet another improvement on the Nike+ version.Also has a great concealed mini-pocket for your house key (e.g. when road running) and a neat little earphone cable tidy to help keep it out of the way when your'e running.Only downside is that in torrential downpours some moisture can seap into the iPod chamber but I don't think this is a design fault, more an unavoidable risk of running in horizontal rain!Would definitely recommend - I considered many other makes and types of armbands for the Nike+ Nano and this ticks the most boxes. :D

well-made iPod nano armband
I bought this armband to use with my 4th gen iPod nano when exercising on my indoor rowing machine. The whole case is very good quality and stays in place well on my arm whilst rowing. The adjustable velcro strap works really well and is very comfortable and, unlike one of the other reviewers, I have had no problem operating the nano through the plastic cover.I was slightly concerned when the armband arrived that my nano would move around in the case because I don't yet have the NikePlus receiver, which the case is designed to accommodate together with the nano. However, I needn't have worried - even without the NikePlus receiver, the nano sits in the right position inside the case for operation through the plastic cover and doesn't move around in the case.Overall, this is an excellent purchase, and I can thoroughly recommend this armband.

Does exactly what it says on the tin!
What a great product!I can see why people have mentioned that the wheel doesn't work as well....it won't...you've covered it with a sheet of plastic! it still works tho, and to be honest, all you really do when your running is hit the centre button to get your nike+ data anyway.I can also see why it would be a bit short around bigger arms, I've not got huge biceps but its pretty much at its longest length, but, still fits and doesn't move!If your Headphone jack is large, you may struggle to plug it in with the nike+ sensor in place. I've had to buy a new pair with a straight plug, not a 90degree. This is NOT A FAULT with the arm band!!! But keep it in mind!all in , 100% does the job!

Worth the extra money - totally recommend this for NIKE +
This is very well made, comfortable and durable. Its false economy getting the cheaper ones off ebay we found they were a waste of money. This one fits the nike + system for your nano too. If you haven't & don't want Nike + get the other version of this.(there is just an extra pocket for the nike + to go) If you are looking at getting nike + only buy this armband. Dont use a cheap one you will regret it. This has been used at least 4 times a week by a 10k runner for the last 5 weeks & still looks like new. Very pleased.

Not happy!
Not a good product I'm afraid. The plastic cover on the front is so thick and quite loose that you can't operate the ipod through it - I ended up cutting a circle out the front so it would work but have since been to the Apple shop in Birmingham and bought one that does work!
