   The good:

   * The case surrounds the player, which makes it fit very snugly to your arm from top to bottom. I’ve always been hesitant to try more minimal armbands because I have this assumption that–anchored only in the center–the player would flop around a bit.

   * The neoprene also provides a very snug fit.

   * The plastic screen protector has a cut-out for the click wheel, which allows for easy navigation while wearing.

   * This is well-suited for larger upper arms. Another reviewer noted that slim female arms are lost in this, and I agree. But for those of more ample proportions, it is a comfortable, non-binding fit.

   * The price, obviously.

   The bad:

   * The hole for the ear bud cord is not positioned quite right, and has loose threads. This is due to the logistics of, well, poking a hole through neoprene. It’s livable, but annoying.

   * The “hook” part of the Velcro was cut too wide and extends beyond the part of the band with the “loop” strips. This has led to scratches and chafing, and I cannot use this product without a buffer fabric (longer sleeves, or often a handkerchief folded and used to pad that area.

   I am an average-sized woman, so when I got this arm band and it was too big for me I was very surprised. True, it is adjustable, however it slides down my arm when I am running, and I can’t wrap the band any tighter. I really thought it would work based on other reviews, but it is just too big. I put the band over a wrist pad on my arm and that works. For the price I am fine with that solution.

   The quality is also just fine. It looks like the hole where the ear phones plug in was just punched in the fabric. There are threads showing and tangling around that point.

   It’s adjustable and quite fit with my arms, quite comfortable compare to those plastic armbands. It holds tightly even when I was doing different exercises.

   My experience so far was good~

   I was disappointed but not really surprised that the elastic was worn out and the stitching was coming apart so quickly.
