 Almost perfect Jul 30, 2010
Close to perfect and the best iPod nano case+band I've been able to find.
Silicone case provides the right amount of protection from drops, bumps, etc...
Arm band is comfortable and easy to put on/take off.
Only gripe is the screen protector. It is too big and its edges overlap the metal part of the iPod, making it easy for the screen protector to peel off, collect dust and dirt, etc... They should trim it down so that it fits just inside the edges of the screen, not overlap them or touch them.
Fortunately, Grantwood has some of the best, no-hassle customer service I have ever experienced and the problem with the screen protector was taken care of right away.
 Searched High and Low - Best and CHEAPEST Case! Jul 29, 2010
I searched for literally 4 hours for a case that is moderately dustproof and water resistant, reading reviews on amazon and other running forums to decide on the best case to take running with me. I had a couple of specific requirements - that it be durable, protective in harsh environments (i.e. - the desert), comfort and "staying ability" (no movement on my arm, but not cutting off circulation to do so), and the ability to use the Nike + iPod dongle. From the multiple reviews on Amazon, I was suprised to see that this case was priced so low.
I made it a point to read as many reviews as I could about the armbands Nike specifically makes for the Nano and Nike+, expecting that a similar case would cost as much and deliver superior results. In every instance, I kept coming back to the Tuneband and finally acquiesced. I'm glad I did; here's why:
- The weight and profile are kept to a minimum. I ran with this underneath my shirtsleeve and didn't even notice it was there. The instructions recommend placing the iPod at your tricep while exercising to minimize interference and that advice worked very well for me as I ran.
- The skin covers everything it needs to in order to protect the iPod without making the ports inacessible. The ports and hold switch are guarded by a lip that runs around them, but still accessible while running and doing it blindly.
- The armband is completely covered in a low-nap velcro that holds well, so will work for every arm size.
- It came with a screen protection film and trackwheel protection film included.
- Before it shipped, I received an email from the company double-checking that I ordered the exact skin I needed and shipped without delay.
As stated in other reviews, it's not particularly meant for regular removal except for periodic cleaning. That doesn't bother me, as this iPod is used solely for exercising, but in practice, it shouldn't be a big deal as all ports are easily accessible - you'd just have to deal with the armband while not exercising.
Performance of the product, low price and the limited exposure to their customer service would lead me to recommend this to anyone looking for an armband for their Nano.
Great Product, Stellar Customer Service Jul 27, 2010
I already owned one of these arm bands and absolutely loved it so I bought one for a friend. Once I gave it to my friend I realized I had purchased the wrong "model" (I bought 5th generation and needed 4th). I contacted the company to see how I could exchange it for the correct one. I immediately recieved a response from the co-owner Sean. He told me that he would send me the correct "model" of the case for no extra charge. He also told me to just find a good home for the case that was the wrong size. Phenomenal customer service...which is hard to come by these days.
Side Note: I have bought the Nano armband, the iPhone arm band, and the thing that attaches to your shoe to hold the Nike iPod sensor, all from Grantwood Technology. All three have been incredible products that I have had 100% satisfaction with.
This is the ideal armband for my iPod Jul 23, 2010
This is the best thing invented! I have total access to the click wheel which allows me complete and total access to 100 percent of the iPod functions!!! The best thing is total access plus total protection! Thanks!
works as expected Jul 23, 2010
This armband works great, it holds my iPod in place while running and doesn't slip.
