Griffin 8127-5GSTRLNB Streamline Armband for iPod Classic and iPod 5G (Black)

I run to tunes from my IPOD five days a week, two to three miles a day. My previous IPOD armband literally fell apart after about two years. I did some research before purchasing this one and I'm totally satisfied. I find it easy to load and unload the IPOD. I have no problem using the clickwheel either to adjust volume or make music or audio-book selections. The IPOD stays firmly in place and so far the armband shows no sign of deterioration. Great value.

I've used this product for my Ipod Classic 5G for about a year, for working out and running, and as a carrying case in general. I've never had any problems while it lasted. It fit my arm comfortably, didn't bounce around, and my Ipod fit snugly inside, making it impossible to fall out. The case also provided good protection against stratches and even falls. Just this week though, the two side edges of the clear plastic cover detached from the black rubbery part. This is due to the fact that when you put on your armband every time, you have to pull and bend the black rubbery part back to fit it tightly your arm, and the repeated pulling and stretching eventually caused the detachment, after a year. Though it still holds my Ipod, I need to get a new armband/carrying case because this one's going to fall apart even more over time.

It works. It's big enough to hold the phone and durable enough to run/ bike in the rain.

I've gone a few runs while it was drizzling/ raining and the arm band held up and the phone was dry.

ipod touch fit nicely, too.

This is a wonderful product! Some have said that the iPod is difficult to remove, but the plastic stretches after a few uses and the iPod is easily removed.

I bought this to go running with my classic ipod. I have been wearing it to the gym and it stays tight no matter the exercise. It seems to be fairly popular at the gym too. It is a little tough to move the volume while the ipod is in the pocket. Other than that I did not see anything better out there.
