Great, works as it should.......2007-10-24
Although I had a hell of a time figuring out how to strap this thing on (apparently the manufacturer attached the strap on the wrong side) so I had to improvise, took only a few seconds. Once all was well this thing held my zen stone plus from flying as I ran miles. There is no way the player can fly off your arm once this is on. It feels comfortable.
Zenstone arm band.......2007-09-11
The Zenstone plus armband worked well, especially under rapid arm movement during strenuous exercise. The mp3 player never shifted position, and allowed me to listen to my music without the concern of the player being trashed.
Too Hard To Remove the Device.......2007-09-07
Get this only if you want to use your stone only at the gym. Getting the stone in and out of the silicon sleeve is not simple and feels like you're about to rip the sleeve. This is a fine armband if you want to leave the stone in it all the time. Personally, when I'm done at the gym, I want to take the device out and throw it in my pocket. This can be done, but it's much more work than it should be. I wouldn't buy this again.

Customer Reviews:
Finally an armband for guys with big arms........2007-12-07
I one of those guys who can not work out without my music, if you lift iron you should listen to metal is my belief.
I recently purchased a Creative Zen player, and have been really disappointed with the selection of armbands, I like wearing mine just above the bicep, and nothing for the Creative player would fit (unless you count cutting off your circulation).
I had to wear it on my forearm and I kept catching the headphone cord on weights/machines and jerking the headphones out of my ears.
After researching online about Creative armbands, I discovered rave reviews for this item, so I took my chance and bought one.
I could not be happier, not only does this armband fully secure my player and give me easy access to all the controls, it fits around my upper arm very comfortably with room to grow.
For the record my arms measure at 17", so you can use my measurement for an idea if this is for you or not.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to hit the weights.
Nice.......2007-12-06
Excellent for use when you walk, fit well with my zen but isn't perfect, it's a good stuff.
Great Armband for running.......2007-11-21
I got this for working out and it really works great. I have tried it running and lifting with no problems at all.
Great Product.......2007-10-17
I have had zero problems with this armband and have used it extensively for the past 2 months. Before buying, I had heard that the Creative brand armband is very small and not flexible enough to fit around the upper arm. That is not a problem with this product. I also like how the mp3 player doesn't move around along the length of the armband. Count me very satisfied.
Secure & protected while exercising.......2007-09-28
My Creative Zen V Plus fits in this lightweight armband pefectly. It stays put while I'm exercising. Great buy for the $$$.

Customer Reviews:
Poorly Designed.......2007-12-24
This must have had no product testing. As wide as this band is it looks like it would stay in place on your arm while working out. Nothing could be further from the truth. The band is elastic, and work just fine except that they put an outer red accent material that will not stretch. How stupid is that? The band will not stretch and thus will not stay secure on your arm when doing even the least energetic of activities.
If you buy it be prepared to modify it, or find something more intelligently built.
Definitely not worth your money.......2007-12-19
Unfortunately one of the only downsides to getting a Zen is that there are few if any accessories. And this armband is very poorly designed. Everything the other reviewers have mentioned are accurate reviews of this product.
Don't bother.......2007-12-10
This thing is way to big and bulky to be useful. Not only that, but you have no way of seeing what you are doing. Basically you can press the buttons, but you can't see what menu you are on or anything. So you would have to set up a playlist, start it, put the Zen in the armband, then put the armband on and not need to touch it until your workout is done. No thanks. It is also awkward to put on. I ened up just getting rubber skin on ebay with a smaller elastic band for like $8 and it works like a champ. Do not waste your money on this overpriced armband.
I am retuning it.......2007-11-14
I prefer the ability to change music on the go - this made it difficult because the pouch is solid material so basically you set it and leave it alone for the duration. Also, it takes two people to get it to fit securely. Of course, that could just be my problem.
Waste of money.......2007-11-13
I bought this to put my Zen in. Looks good in pictures, but when you get it, you'll think differently.. It has a wide armband that velcros together. I thought maybe it would have been elastic to stay on your arm when your running. This does not. It drops down when running. I can't seem to make it fit tight enough to work.. I don't know about other folks, but I like to see the screen. This has no hole for the screen. Let me know of another MP3 player that does not have a place to see the screen.
All you get is a huge circle with ZEN on it...
Waste of my money.
I bought an ID holder in my deployed location that I use. Has elastic armback and a clear vinyl front with a velcro side to put your zen in.I trimmed a little hole for the earphones and.......Voila.......The perfect holder and it cost me $2.00..
Maybe Creative can take this hint and make a better armband..

Armband for Zen V mp3.......2007-06-08
This armband really comes in handy when I'm working out at the gym. It has a flap to secure the cord so it doen't interfere with my workout. It looks good and I'm glad I ordered it.
Product nice, BUT!.......2007-06-02
The arm band was not big enough...i have 17 inch biceps, and it does not even come close to fitting...the belt clip is nice though and the skin is nice, but if you want it for the band, hope you have small arms
It is a bit small.......2007-05-20
The quality of the band is very nice. The band is too small though. It does not fit all the way around my arm. I bought mainly for the belt clip, so I do not feel the purchase was a complete loss.
Great for women... but what about men?.......2007-03-31
Prior to my Zen V Plus, I had a Creative MuVo TX FM which came with an armband and belt clip in the box. It was a very comfortable and easy to use until it was stolen. As a replacement, I thought I would upgrade to the Zen. Unfortunately the armband for the Zen V Plus had to be purchased separately; I chose to go with the Creative branded band based on my previous experience. To my surprise, the Creative armband is too small for me. Now, I'm 6'2", but I'm not much of a weight lifter, so my biceps are only 14". However, the available strap length is less than that, so I cannot get a comfortable fit. It fits too tightly and tends to pops open as I try to secure it due to lack of slack. I looked online and found that the average male bicep is 13" in circumference - about the same as the armband's strap. As previous reviewers have stated, the included silicon skin is nice, but it seems that this unit was designed for women, children, and smaller than average men. So guys, unless you have a 12" bicep or smaller, I would look elsewhere for an armband to use while you work out.
Excellent Product!.......2007-03-22
I'm VERY happy with this armband / belt clip / skin for this player. The skin is easy to put on and get off, is well made, and obviously a perfect fit. I'm not about to test it, but I imagine the skin would do a decent job of protecting the unit if one should drop it. It also protects the unit from scratches and dings. I do, however, wish the skin came with a screen protector of some sort.
The belt clip is very secure. Fantastic.
The armband is an armband. Not much to say there, but the beltclip attaches to the armband, making it easy to take the player on and off of it (in case you go from cardio to weights or whatever and want to switch). I do agree with the reviewer who said that someone with exceptionally large arms may have a problem fitting into this. I'm a pretty big guy and this is not a problem for me.
I'm a runner and truly love this armband.

Zen prod skin.......2007-05-12
The beauty of the Zen V Prod Skin is the vent on the back of the skin. I do not have to switch skins so that my unit can clip to the arm band. All I need to do is slide the my unit via the vents to the arm band

I tried to use this case but be aware that it fits smaller players. The Toshiba Gigabeat doesn't fit as I learned very quickly.

It Doesn't Work.......2007-11-29
The wall charger does not work. I used the cigarette lighter adapter charger once and didn't seem to work. Spend more money to get a charger that works.
Disappointing.......2007-10-17
The Home Travel Wall charger seems erratic; when it's plugged in the battery icon on the Creative Zen V Plus fluctuates as if there was something wrong. The rapid cigarette lighter adapter charger seems to work well.
ALL YOU NEED.......2007-09-07
This combo is great for home and travel use. These are the only two chargers you need to buy.
Excellent Choice.......2007-08-29
You don't need to buy anything else for this product. This is the least expensive and does the job awsome. Best choice to make in getting.

A decent tiny MP3 player.......2007-08-20
I've had numerous MP3 players, most of which I've used for running. I tried this one out because I wanted a small MP3 player (for exercising) with large buttons (so I can change volume/tracks without stopping or slowing down to look at the device).
PROS:
-Small, cute
-PLUG & PLAY:just drag and drop music onto the MP3 player. No software (like iTunes) required to use it.
-Rechargeable battery
CONS:
-NO CLIP: The optional silicone "skin" has a clip, but it's kind of weak and has a tendency to slide out of the silicone skin pocket and lose the player. Many times I've been running and had the player fly off into the bushes only to find the clip still attached to my waistband. I never had this problem with the Samsung or the iPod shuffle.
-NOT WATER RESISTANT: This is probably the worst aspect of this player. When this device is exposed to rainwater or sweat, the buttons short-out (i.e. one of the tuning buttons gets stuck in forward/reverse) until the player dries off. If I'm running in 90+ degree heat, I can expect about 15 minutes before the player malfunctions due to humidity/sweat exposure. Ironically, this problem is worse when the silicone skin is on the player (I say ironic because the skin is supposed to protect the device from moisture).
-NO SCREEN: not really a big deal for me, but some people like seeing how much battery is left, etc.
-BATTERY LIFE: I expected this to last longer on a single charge, but the longest I usually get is roughly 7 total hours of playtime before I have to recharge. Other small MP3 players I've had (like a Samsung, which had a screen, too) have lasted up to 14 hours worth of time.
COMPARED TO OTHER SMALL PLAYERS:
iPod shuffle- the Zen Stone is slightly larger, approximately same weight, worse clip. Zen Stone is MUCH easier to load with music. I prefer the Zen Stone
Mobiblu- Zen stone is easier to attach to your body, easier to use buttons without looking. Mobiblu is probably a better player, but not as easy to exercise with.
SAMSUNG clip on player- Samsung has a built-in clip, a screen, and can tolerate plenty of moisture. Although I've been trying to find a better player, this one is probably the best I've had.
SAMSUNG clip on MP3 player- easier buttons
Perfect for me.......2007-08-16
This armband is so comfortable, adjustable, and hardly noticeable since it's only an inch wide. I have a different take on the opaque skin covering the blinking light. I don't want to see a blinking light when I'm doing my yoga or be distracted during my workout. I bought the Zen Stone because I didn't want a screen. I can figure out when I need to recharge since I only use it a few hours each day. For me, no bells, whistles, or lights are just fine.
Great for running.......2007-08-10
This armband and skin are great if you want portable music while you're running, biking or walking. The skin protects the Zen Stone from getting sweaty and grimy, and it's quite comfortable to wear.
The only thing I don't like about the skin is that it's a bit difficult to get your Zen Stone in and out of the skin. Other than that, it's been perfect for my needs so far.
Nice little armband.......2007-08-10
This armband does a good job of staying up and keeping the Zen Stone on my arm. All the controls are accessible through precut holes. The only problem I see is that the skin hides the LED that indicates if the unit is on.
Pretty good, but..........2007-08-09
The armband is exceptionally lightweight and easy to use. My only real criticism of the design is that it covers up the light on your Zen Stone player, which means you can't check the power level without taking the player completely out of the case.
Customer Reviews:
Bad, bad quality And is a CELULAR PHONE CHARGER.......2007-10-18
The charger only works two hours and was damage
Is a charger for a CELULAR PHONE ; is not for the CREATIVE LAB ZEN
I LOST MY MONEY
I live in Bogotá Colombia and it is impossible to claim The guarantee
Does not work!.......2007-09-03
Got the product very quickly but it does not charge my Creative Zen player at all!!!!! Do not buy this product. The box said it was a phone charger - not even for the creative products!
Zen V Wall Charger.......2007-03-09
Charging my Creative Zen V by computer with USB cable is very slow. Needed a wall charger. Got this one. Cheap. Works well. Charges quickly. End of story.
Burned out on the first use.......2007-02-16
Never charged a thing. I bought it to use on international travel. It stated that it could be used on 220 and it burnout out shortly after being plugged in.

Customer Reviews:
Zen Vision M owner.......2007-09-19
if you have a zen vision m, beware..the velcro that latches over the player is snug and covers the headphone port, which means to use L-shaped (forget vertical type) headphone plug the latch won't be sticking as much as it was designed to, possibly putting your player at risk while running.
other than that, it seems decent
p.s. not sure how the ipod fits.
Great.......2007-06-17
Great for running. Its comfortable on my arm but a liltle big. Nice padding on the inside it also has a ton of velcro to keep it from falling off. its Universal to what it can hold either an ipod or my cellphone. Keeps them very secure and safe.
Very good but ..........2006-09-22
It fits very well , stays on but my arm is 15" . If it was just a little bigger ... it wouldn't have worked well (at all) .
So do some measuring before you buy it .
