this works just fine. i use it at the gym all the time and it hasnt failed me yet

Are you kidding me with the screen protection?
First of all, I have been looking for the perfect ipod armband case for the gym and my active lifestyle, and I have NOT found any.

This is almost perfect. The material is top-notch and still allows access to every function, and most impressive is the wheel cover protection that works fine. The top edge is attached so my iPod will never again slide out from the top whenever I am doing pull-ups.

However, the screen protection is a joke. There is no screen protection. All you get is a piece of sticky plastic to put on your ipod and you slide it in there. So you can only attached the sticky plastic one time, and that is your only screen protection, if the plastic comes off you are out of luck, that unless you buy another one of this.

Another thing I was hoping for was a key chain belt clip so I can just clip it to my belt whenever I am not at the gym and wearing a coat.

These are just simple things the manufacturers never considered. They never combined all these together to one ipod case.

It is like every ipod case is missing what the other ones have.



Wheel protection area needs improvement
I love this product because of the great fit on my Ipod classic. I love the fact I can use the armband or take it off. It feels great in my hands, it's lightweight and takes up very little space. I like that it comes with a plastic clear cover for the screen, but the cover is a little too big for the screen. Regardless, I'm using it and it doesn't seem to matter much at all.
However, there is one downfall: the area covering the wheel is too thick, and only worked intermittently. It didn't matter if my finger was warm or cold, or how much pressure I put on the wheel. So,I ended up cutting out that area with a scissors. Works great now, but not as advertised!
