Apple Ipod Touch 2g running armband roundup and review

[santos016]

Which Griffin AeroSport model is that ? I'm looking at ebay and Im finding allot of models.

[KingFluffs]

I can never fit those running armbands on properly.

[bucknelljay]

Thanks for the reviews. Wish you had mentioned price, the Belkin plus is $40! I'd also like some close-ups of all the products that you review.

[idleworkers]

press 5 for the best 1 ! :)

[runmvp]

what shoes do you use for running ?

[SupraWes]

@runmvp Brooks GTS, they are getting pretty close to used up. I am thinking of trying one of their Pure models.

[runmvp]

@SupraWes Thank you for your reply, SupraWes. another question if you dont mind. How much do they last for day-by-day running? I dont run much. just an half hour per day.

[andrearosedene69]

@SupraWes could you tell me will the griffin aeroband fit my arm,its just that i bought one of ebay and the vecro strap is to big for my arm and the ipod touch slides about all over so which is the best for me as i am very skinny

[kid3050]

is this a good armband for my boxing gym? i wanna listen to music while i train but i dont want my ipod flying everywhere.

[SupraWes]

@kid3050 Yes, anything but the 4th place one will be very snug and secure.

[MrLankanlion]

thanks dude

[Brad2070]

I owned the griffin clear case for my ipod classic which would flop and then proceed to explode off of my arm during sprints and fly across the pavement or track. When in the gym everybody would then stare at me. This actually lead to the demise of my ipod and lost me 200 bucks. How Griffin can sell such a peice of garbage in good contience is beyond me.A child could design a better band. JERKS!

[rakmaknaja]

thank you so much for your review. really help.

[MichaelAgee]

Will the Griffin Aerosport work with iPHone ? I hear you keep saying iPod... wanted to know if iPHone would work with the recommended armband.

[SupraWes]

@MichaelAgee No the iphone wont fit into the aerosport. I would go with The black belkin one from these choices, it is designed to fit both the iphone and the ipod touch. It is the one I am currently using with my iphone. I have been on the lookout for the perfect armband for the iphone but so far I have issues with all the ones I have seen.

[MichaelAgee]

Thanks man. I'm going out to get the Griffin Aerosport. Great video !!

[sz200]

I don't agree with the review on the Belkin Sports Armband. The material used in it is VERY CHEAP. After a month of using it, the metal clip which is used to loop the material through broke very easily. I am not sure why Belkin released something that uses such cheap metal.

[KickAssPanda90]

wow thanks for the review it really helps! but what happens if you sweat a lot whe using the Griffin Aerosport goog one ,does it support hard training? and are the headphones cables large? how do you cut the cables to fit your requirements?

thanks you really help me!

[GreenGal46]

Well done! this was very useful - thanks for posting it.

[penguinsgorawr12]

hey there, i have an OtterBox iphone3g case, and i was wondering if any of the bands are stretchy enough to envelope it fully? thank you

[SupraWes]

@penguinsgorawr12 I doubt any of these will fit with the otterbox on there. Its difficult just to get the iphone itself into some of these. You would have to take it out of the otterbox to use it with an armband.

[mermaid11236]

hey, wanted to know how's the griffin aerosport is holding up, looking to purchase it but it has so many bad reviews. thanks

[SupraWes]

@mermaid11236 The band itself starting to seperate a bit but that's after 8+ months of 20+ miles a week, not bad for something that costs $10. No exercise gear lasts long from my experience. The Case itself is still great.

[brk5]

Really useful thanks a million for making this :)

[abd2420]

Really great information. Thnx

[parkourer100]

what about just holding it in your hand

[SupraWes]

It would get pretty slippery when you sweat all over it. I wouldn't want to risk dropping such an expensive and fragile device.

[gazzafoster]

Please can you let me know how you managed to attach the nike+ sensor to you shoe laces? Thanks

[SupraWes]

I use the Switch Easy Runaway, google it. Its a nice device that holds the sensor and locks onto the laces very securely.

[brodymc80]

helpful reviews. thanks.

[peassm01]

Thank you for this information. It was VERY helpful. Again thank you!!!

[bodies42099]

Thanks a lot! Great reviews.

[warnerrob]

Fantastic and extremely helpful reviews. Thanks for taking the time to do this

[Creamysense]

does the aerosport fit a 1st gen touch?

[wyldchyld7x]

Very informative reviews.

[Curlygirl001]

Thanks again!!!! So helpful!!

[jusbeau]

Just wanna say thanks for taking the time to do this review. Saved me allot of trouble.

[SupraWes]

Thank you! Let me know if you see any others you think I would like.

[videoreborn]

I got the Best Buy's Rocketfish arm band, have you tried it? I thought it's pretty good but it doesn't have a key or credit card holder.

[newcrew42]

If you are thin, the rocketfish will not fit on your arm. Be sure to try it on in the store.

[SupraWes]

I have looked at it in the store but my initial impression was kind of blah. How do you like it so far?

[videoreborn]

I returned the Rocketfish and bought the XtremeMac for iPhone 3G/3GS + iPod Touch one. So far so good.

[TheBigBengt]

Great review! Thanks

[mcosse1]

Thanks for taking the time and expense to review these. I love the iTouch, but it's been more difficult to find a suitable armband when compared to my previous iPods. It sounds like the Aeosport has exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks again!

[SupraWes]

Thanks! Let me know if you see any others yo think I should check out, there's always room for improvement. I hope designers see real world reviews like this and make them even better.

[staubinator]

Will the iPhone work with any/all of those as well?

[texasman1978]

Very useful info. Great Youtube vid. Thanks!

[blackbrunny]

Verrrrry good review, SupraWes.

Can the aerosport also be used with an iPhone in stead of the iPod touch or is the iPhone bigger?

[evo8GT42R]

the iphone is the same.

[Jackalofdeath]

ok well i bought the aerosport before i saw this video, and i was reading a lot of BAAAD reviews about this falling apart. so, how long did you use this item before reviewing it?

also, did you / can you review "Incase Sports Armband" the one thats on the apple store website? or have you heard any good news, cause after reading all the bad reviews im thinking of returning the aero

[SupraWes]

I have been using it for about 5 months now. It shows some wear in places but I do run 20+ miles a week so its expected I think. I doubt I will be reviewing anything Apple sells since their prices on accessories are outrageous. I paid $10 or less for most of these.

[Jackalofdeath]

ok thanks

[ekho26]

been looking around for one, great review!!!

[tweeling66]

Thanks for the excellent review.

[wtharetheydoing]

Thanks so much I have been shopping for an itouch arm band . The people at the stores are helpful but this is soooo much better

[DynaChik]

I've been thinking about getting one of those. Good review.

[2ThousandAnd9]

Thanks for the review.

I don't have an Ipod or run, but I'm sure this will be useful later on.

Take care and see you next time!

[Imskinnyinside]

thank you for this vid....i've often wondered about armbands and if i should get one
