Electronics : Griffin Tempo - Armband For iPod With Video - Classic Compatible
Rating: 
- armband video ipod - issue with clear pastic
I purchased this about 10 months ago - since then the plastic has toughened on the see through screen making it very difficult to control the ipod through the plastic. You can skip forward and back but the sensitivity necessary to adjust the volume is lost. A second issue is that the velcro is in sections meaning not all diameters of arm are a good fit - you can usually get the thing to stay stuck at some point on your arm.
Still does the simple of job of blocking out the gyms dodgy tracks well and keeps the ipod dry and out of harms way.

- Good for the Gym
As a new to the gym and new to Ipod girl, I searched the web for such a product as this and found the perfect answer on Amazon. I wanted an armband that would allow me to see the screen on my Nano2G, and also have access to plug in my charger and ipod FM radio without taking it out of the sleeve.(Obviously I wasn't charging it while wearing it!) A bonus, which was also worthwhile, is the cord storage, to wind round and secure the extra length on the headphone lead, which is in an attractive orange, and looks like a long toggle. I found the armband has adequate touch and close fastenings and an extra moveable loop to tuck the end of the arm strap into for skinnier arms. I can loosen it slightly whilst on the running machine(even though I personally only walk fast)! I've tried it out on a cycle ride, and it was comfortable to wear, handling bumpy roads too, without slipping. Add to this the fact it is machine washable, the stitching is good and the plastic sleeve has extra taped seams to stop the corners of the Ipod pushing through or breaking the stitches, I think this was a brilliant purchase. Good price, good product.
