This product was generally what I expected - something to hold my iPod mini while I run. Would I buy another one? Probably not. Here are my reasons:
1. I am a runner, so I have really thin arms, so this product is too large for me. I had to wrap the band all the way around, on top of my iPod, and to the other side for it to stay in place.
2. On the back of the clear carrying case, there is a silver knob that I guess would be used if you attached the lanyard; however, this digs into your arm when you are using the armband. While it isn't causing me severe pain, it is definitely annoying.
3. The band keeps my iPod on my arm; howevever, it definitely jiggles a bunch while I am running. I don't think my iPod is going to fall off; however, I don't imagine the product lasting more than a year.
4. The product just generally isn't that comfortable. Other running bands are plusher, using softer cotton against your skin. This product is coarse.

Very nice sports strap for the iPod Mini. Works great on long runs and is very durable.

I wear this on my upper arm while running and it stays in place.
My only complaint: The rubber case fits so tightly that it's hard to take off. But, since every port on the i-pod is accessible through the case, I just leave the case on.

Very neat and compact.... The thing is that prepare for the plastic to tear! I have to think about getting a new one after almost a year. It was fun while it lasted!

I'm one of those guys who bought the iPod Mini before the Nano ever came into existence. I recently picked up biking this past summer and wanted my iPod along for the ride. I was happy to find this product and bought it immediately. It's perfect for strapping around your arm as you bike or run. It's very comfortable and doesn't irritate me as I ride. I'd recommend this product for anyone who has the Mini (few of you out there, I'm sure) and needing something to hold it while you exercise.

I bought this armband for my iPod mini to use while running and it works great. The band is wide so it's comfortable. I have skinny runner's arms and it fits just fine. Stays snug and in place during all my runs from 6 to 20 milers. My only gripe is that the rubberized sleeve you put the iPod in which the armband itself attaches to has a hole in it where the cable that connects the iPod to the computer plugs in. Makes sense, as the whole idea is to put the iPod in the rubberized sleeve and you leave it here. I wear the iPod upside down on my arm so that when I look down at the display the display is facing the right way to be read. Unfortunately though it means sweat can drip down and into the hole in the iPod itself which can't be good for it. It's not a design flaw in the product, but some sort of little trap door or some sort of plug to cover the hole would be a neat feature. I solved the problem by putting a small strip of tape across it. I still rate it a 5 out of 5. It also comes with a lanyard to wear around your neck and a swivel belt attachment. Both of those are well constructed, although since I bought it strictly for running I haven't used those items. The item shipped from an Office Depot subsidiary and from time of order to time of arrival to my front door was 4 days. Excellent on all counts.
