 functional, but has a few shortcomings. January 14, 2008

Pros:
great product. it comes with clear film protectors for both the screen and the click wheel. it also comes with the shoe pouch so you can wear the sensor on non-nike+ shoes! a great deal for any ipod nano owner who uses nike plus
Cons:
After about 3 weeks of use i've started to notice little nicks on the edges of my ipod nano. Since I only use the nano with the armband, (except when i take it out to update my nike + runs) the damage is definitely coming from the armband. It seems like the damage is coming from rubbing between the ipod and the stitching that connect the protective plastic screen and the armband. The nicks are small but definitely noticeable.
Personally the nicks don't bother me that much, as I only use my nano for Nike+ and other work out purposes. However if you're [...] about keeping your ipod nano in pristine condition, you may way to go elsewhere.
Also another small problem.. i wear the armband on my forearm and i tend to sweat a lot when i run. as a result some moisture does soak through the neoprene material and some of the moisture comes in contact with the ipod. i don't think this will be a problem for my ipod, but it is a little annoying when i take the ipod out of the armband to sync after a run and there is moisture on the body and screen of the ipod.
one last nit picky negative: there's no way to dock the ipod nano while it is inside the case.

The Marware Sportsuit was better than expected. It allows for a pouch to use the Nike Plus system and also includes a shoe wallet for the sensor. This allows you to use shoes other than Nike and it works great. The Sportsuit can also be worn on your wrist making it easier for access to your nano.
The only negative is that the touch wheel does not work very well through the protective clear plastic but while running or walking, you only need access to push the center button for updates.
Great Product!

This product worked just as it says. Fits great and is perfect for the Nano with Nike+. The little space for the wireless receiver works great. Also the little hole for the headphone plug is exactly where it should be. The only drawback is sometimes it is difficult to use the controls through the plastic. But this is not really a big issue. A couple times I have paused runs by pressing the pause button, while attempting to press the center button, to hear run information. Now im a little more careful, and this really isnt a problem. I like that it can be worn on the wrist or upper arm. Works great and is made well. I would recommend.

There are not a lot of good options for the new Ipod Nano video yet, and even fewer for the Nano with Nike+ installed. This case does adequately hold and protect the Nano. It is made as a wrist case though and comes with a short adapter to fit around your upper arm. The velcro on this is not the strongest though and you will sometimes get separation. If you want to use it as a dedicated upper arms case the best thing is to put a couple stitches through it to hold the extension on.
The other problem I had with this case is it is incredibly difficult to use the controls through the plastic protector. This isn't a big deal if you listen to music while you run, maybe a skipped song while you are trying to change your run data or change the volume. If you listen to longer audio tracks, like Audiobooks it can be a real pain. It is hard to find you place in an hour long track in the middle of a run.I have learned to set it and leave it because of this. The Sportsuit Relay is better than anything else I have yet found, so long as you understand its shortcomings up front.
GREAT DEAL! December 10, 2007

This product exceeded my expectations! When I ordered this product I thought...MAKE SURE YOU GET AN ARM BAND THAT WILL FIT THE NEW NANO and THE WIRELESS RECEIVER...that was my only criteria.
Then when I receive the package I was VERY happy to see that a shoe wallet came with it (when I switch shoes between back to back runs) and that the band can fit not only on my upper arm, but on my wrist! I LOVE THAT PART! It's easy to see and move the wheel while walking...while running it is more difficult.
Couldn't be happier with this item and HIGHLY recommend it to my fellow running friends!
ALMOST ONE YEAR LATER!
I've been running a lot and I haven't had any problems with this arm band falling apart or anything, BUT...
I'm running about 10 miles every weekend during the hot days of summer and humidity...I guess with all my sweat soaking through the arm band to my iPod...it doesn't work any more. I'm so sad and frustrated! My screen on my iPod just flickers and I've done everything they say to do for home repair. I can't find my receipt to prove I bought it to be able to take it into the Apple Store/Genius Bar. UGH!
Anyone want to donate an iPod to me?
