"A very good product overall. I would opt for one of the smaller-sized covers (i.e., small or medium available for smaller iPods), but those will not hold the iPod video models. "BlueChip0528

Ease of use

I was skeptical regarding the use of seemingly 'regular' headphones and an armband for use in the pool. I was very pleasantly surprised with the ease of use and quality of the sound. The armband only requires that you slide the iPod into the sleeve, close the waterproof door and insert the headphones. Very easy and more comfortable than anticipated.

(5)

Quality of Construction

Appears to be vey sturdy construction. Not many moving parts, so it appears that the device will last for some time. Plastic covering the iPod's face is thick enough to allay any fears of a leak, while also being soft enough to easily use the iPod's touch wheel.

(5)

Fit

The fit is snug, but not so much so that I had a fear of it constricting blood flow or leading to any lingering effects after a long swim. In fact, the device barely left any marks on my arm at all.

(4)

Comfort

Surprisingly comfortable as an armband, but the device can also be paired with an extension that will allow one to use it as a belt/waist-based player.

(4)

Adjustability

Very good adjustability. Very good design for the intended purpose.

(3)

Value

A good chunk of change for an iPod holder. I would think it could be produced for a little less money and, therefore, passed to the consumer.

(5)

Appearance

Very attractive appearance. Good looking cover.

(5)

Performance

Excellent performance and very good sound quality. I opted for the H2O Audio 'Surge' headphones and was very impressed with the sound quality and the earphone's ability to remain in the ears throughout the swim.

Strengths

Ease of use; Performance.

Weakness

Price.
