this is much better than the armstrap ipod holders, which never stay on my bulky arms and slip down. The first time I wore this product I wore it with the case to my back, to keep the headphones out of the way of my arms when running. as far as keeping it out of the way it did a great job, but it was so far out of the way you had to take it out if you wanted to change the song or adjust the volume, so I suggest you have a playlist of running songs that is as long or longer than desired run. BTW the hole they provide to loop the headphones thru , if you will be taking it out to change songs dont use that hole, it is just annoying.
I had to poke a tiny hole in the neoprene for the iPhone earphone jack since its location is different than the iPod's. But otherwise my iPhone, which is in a plastic case, fits snug and well. It is true that when cinched snug around your waist you can't even feel this while running. As mentioned, my iPhone is in a plastic case, so the touchscreen doesn't always activate through this carrier's clear plastic cover, but it works most of the time.
it's too big for it, it's just the right fit for the ipod video. This is a very good case for and ipod video, it fits properly with some space left. Don't buy it for an ipod nano. I can even insert my ipod in its rubber case. It comes with a couple of zipper pockets that you can use to store the headphones after use or to carry some money and keys while working out
I must say that I was pleasantly surprised at the level of comfort with this product. As a big guy, I was a bit concerned that I would feel constrained while working out with this product, but that was not the case at all. I have a 60 GB Ipod, and it fit quite comfortably, and the band stretches to work with your body's motion. Overall, I would recomend this product over the armband variety.
This would be probably be best for a mini. It was just too tight for the color screen iPod. After working hard to squeeze it in, I had to pull it back out to make any selections on the iPod. It looks good and fits well but it's just not 'user-friendly'.
