Does the job at a low cost!.......2007-12-21
After shopping around at several stores, I was starting to think I was going to have to spend $20-$30 for a sports band for my ipod nano, until I looked to Amazon.com. This sports sleeve is exactly what is needed for someone looking for a simple protective case/sleeve for when you are working out when using an ipod...and you can't beat the price!
Good, not perfect.......2007-12-17
This is a decent and effective armband, and at the price, it's hard to beat. But there are a couple of disadvantages buyers should be aware of. First, the strap is pretty long. That's fine with me, but if your arms are tiny, this thing is going to fit very loosely.
Second, there's a screen protector -- just a piece of clear plastic -- but if you don't look carefully for it, you're bound to throw it out with the packaging, as I did. It's attached to the packaging with tape, and the tape on mine had dried out and was impossible to remove without damaging the protector itself. So, no protector.
The case itself is black rubber and fits the ipod a bit loosely and thus it tends to move around. That's not a total disadvantage since you'll have to push the case away from the connectors every time you want to sync or attach the headphones. That's because the case, just barely overlaps the relevant ports. Not a big disadvantage, just an annoyance.
On the good side, the armband is easily removeable, so you can keep the ipod in your pocket, with the case on, but without the bulk of the strap. That's a big win. And there's no plastic covering the scroll wheel. I've seen other armbands (Apple's, for example) with plastic coverings there and they tend to make the scroll wheel unresponsive. Also, the rubber feel of the case is good and it clearly protects the ipod and makes it easier to hold (because it's not slippery). The fact that it's black is good -- it doesn't show dirt. Finally, the armband feels quite good -- a nice amount of stretch, not too much.
All in all, I'd buy it again. And at the price it's a great deal. But if it were to cost more, I wouldn't be so sure.
Perfect Protection.......2007-12-13
I leave my nano in this sleeve all the time now. The arm band could have a longer velcro strip for ladies w/ smaller upper arms, but it holds decently while jogging. I just wish Belkin would make one of these for the iPhone...
it's ok.......2007-12-12
Works well but the strap doesn't handle my wife's skinny arm's well. We had to rig it with a safety pin. This could be fixed by using a double buckle or more velcro but overall it's ok
A great fit!!!.......2007-12-01
It fits great and suits its purpose! Also half the price then a Nike arm band!

It is waterproof, though.......2007-11-16
thats about all i can say about this product thats positive. its very hard to change the songs inside the box. sound sucks too. all in all its ok if you have nothing else.
This is in the top 5 coolest things I own.........2007-10-30
I am a freaken ROCK STAR when I strap this baby to my kayak. There is not much that comes close to paddling Lake Chelan on a cloudy, windy day with the Scorpions or Disturbed blaring in your face. My Otter Boxes for my iPods are really neat, but the headphones are very uncomfortable. THIS IS A MUST HAVE!!
Nice, but no access to earphone jack.......2007-10-13
EGO 25906033 Waterproof Sound Case with Speakers for iPod
Yes, if you do not intend to use ear phones with your IPOD or plug in headphones, this case is super. However, if you want to use this to protect your IPOD and you do use headphones you will find yourself removing the IPOD each time. I suppose it would be difficult to make a waterproof case with access to the earphone jack. Other than that, this is a very handy item so that you can protect your IPOD and have speakers as well. Not sure it is worth the asking price though. Given that I do use headphones and am constantly putting the ipod in and taking it out for headphone use, I would have been better off getting a protective case with access, and having quite a bit more money in my pocket.
Good for personal use.......2007-10-05
This product really is waterproof, no problem there at all. It comes with inserts to accomodate different size ipods or mp3 players. One down fall is that it doesn't play the music very loud. It is good if you are in your pool by yourself or with a friend and want to have the ipod player near you in the pool. It is not ideal for a party, it is not loud enough. Unique toy though!
Awesome Beach speakers for the ipod.......2007-09-26
These speakers are great for the beach, pool, boat, or just using at home. The sound is great and I didn't have any problems with my iPod getting wet or the click wheel not working when it was damp. I was very impressed and would highly recommend.

Customer Reviews:
I love this case!.......2007-12-18
I bought this case so that I could see my blue iPod and its engraving. This case compliments my iPod perfectly, some people didn't even notice that the iPod had a case!! It has saved my iPod on numerous occasions from falls and dings and scratches, as well as looking elegant. Terrific protection for the entire iPod! The hard case prevents the iPod from snapping in two when it's in your jeans pocket. I definitey recommend this case for your 2nd generation iPod over any others.
Does not work with iPod Nano 4GB!.......2007-12-05
This case would not close with my nano 4GB. The spec should clearly state that it is only intended to work with thinner ipods.
A quick fix for ipods that rattle in this case..........2007-11-17
I read a lot of reviews of people complaining that the case is slightly too large for the ipod and therefore the ipod rattles in the case. Here's an easy fix for this if you aren't using the carabiner clip:
When you put the little plastic tab into the top of the front half of the case to block the hole the carabiner was to use, don't push the tab in all the way. Push it in far enough so it doesn't fall out, but don't push it in till it's flat with the top of the case. Then put your ipod in, you might have to force it in gently, because the little plastic tab will be a bit in the way. For the record, this has not scratched the top of my ipod and I have taken it in and out many times. Now your ipod is secure and will not rattle because the little plastic tab is jammed right along its' top and holds it firmly in place.
Hope this helps those of you who have this problem. I think the case is fantastic, I love that it's clear and thin, it looks stylish, feels good in the hand, and yes, it does get scratched - but it keeps my ipod looking as new as the day I bought it.
The case that can't keep up.......2007-11-15
I always wondered why users would house their iPod in cases that hide the color, are often at least as big as the iPod itself, and that scuff the iPod anyway while it is in the case. For this reason, I didn't use one with my red 8GB nano, and for 3 months I wrapped the headphones around the case and kept it in my coat pocket. A month ago, my coat got stepped on, and the earbuds dented the back of the casing, stopping the screen from displaying data. I spoke to a Genius, who recommended an acrylic case to protect my new refurbished iPod. So I looked for the smallest one that still showed the color of the iPod, and purchased the Belkin F8Z130. The first thing I noticed was that there was extra room in the housing, which means that over time the inside of the case would rub on the outside of my iPod. I had seen this happen on a friends iPod. The Belkin case looked nice and clear right out of the box, and the clickwheel covering worked well, although often I hit the center button when trying to pause. Also, the hold switch is somewhat difficult to reach. As others have said, the case allows for only stock Apple headphones (without modification). After using the case for 2 weeks (usually keeping it in my coat pocket), the front of the case is so scratched up with tiny scratches that it is difficult to read the screen through the case. For comparison, the actual screen (and casing) on my crushed iPod had NO scratches on it after 3 months, even after the earbuds dented the back. I got slightly less than what I expected from this case--better protection from crushing at the cost of being twice as thick, slightly more difficult to use, and much less pretty.
looks nice and functional.......2007-11-02
Used this case for ~6 months, no complains. Looks pretty and works with my connectors. I like the key ring as well. Good buy.

Customer Reviews:
Best protection you can get for ipod nano.......2007-11-11
Great protection for the ipod nano while leaving the hold button, wheel, and adapter port open and easily accessible. I use the toughskin generally only for running with my nike + ipod kit and both products are terrific! If you have an ipod and like to run I can't recommend both the toughskin and the nike products more!
Only reason I didn't give 5 stars however, is because the clear clip is a POS! The first time you clip it to anything you can feel the plasic bending to the brink of snapping right off. However, for me personally, I actually had a perfect black clip to replace that one with and couldn't be happier.
Nice BUT..........2007-10-08
Nice product, looks good and it protects the ipod. I'd give it 5 stars if the belt clip hadn't broken after 6 months. The clip is made of plastic or acrylic covering a steel clip. The problem is that the steel does not reinforce the part that you pinch to open up the clip. So after a few months of daily use it developed a stress fracture in a straight line just above the steel part of the clip. There is no way to fix it and the only thing to do is purchase another one which I won't do until the design is improved. Too bad, because otherwise this was a very handy addition to the ipod.
The best iPod cover. Period........2007-09-30
I have both my nano and 30gb iPods covered in Speck ToughSkins. The price and protection are perfect.
A great protection for my nano.......2007-09-18
All iPod accessories are over-priced, that is just a fact. On the other hand, you generally tend to get what you pay for in them (compare a $5 case to a $25 case sometime).
I'd have to say that of all the cases I have tried for my iPod nano, the ToughSkin is by far the one I feel keeps my nano the safest. The size of the plaer itself always made me nervous, as if I might snap it in half just picking it up. This case gives it some bult and some weight, but not too much - it still feels like a light slick machine. Now when I set it down on my desk it makes a nice "thunk" sound, I know it is protected for the many times I am likely to drop it in the coming years.
The swivel clip it comes with was extremely easy to remove, and that is what I did as soon as I got the skin. With the case on, the nano still fits easily in my jeans pocket.
Headphones and charger areas are very easy to get to, as is the Hold button. The screen is totally visible (some cases cover part of it, bad designs), and I have no problems at all using the buttons/dial.
For anyone who wants rugged drop-protection, this is the BEST I've found for it. If you are looking for something that won't change the look or the size of your iPod, you might want to check out a thin silicon, neoprene, or leather slip-on case.
Good product........2007-08-21
The product do protect the iPod but the belt clip is a piece of s...
They should redesign, asap, the belt clip. It's unconfortable, not safe, big, ugly, etc.
But the case is wonderful.

Fits like a glove........2007-04-25
In regards to the two reviews below: I don't know if they changed this product slightly since the introduction of the 2nd gen Nano, but I drove all the way across town to try out the fit at Best Buy based entirely on the reviews of those two who said it didn't fit. It fit great. I then informed the in-laws that this would be an excellent birthday gift to accompany my new Nano. It arrived and it is about perfect for the task at hand. The Ipod is well protected and the belt clip and armband provide choices for use at the gym. So, this is good all the way around. If you guys who couldn't figure out how to insert your Ipod in this thing and then wrote reviews about it read this, contact me, I'll tell you where to send the check for gas money.
Very Ergonomic.......2007-01-28
iPod nanos should fit on your arm upside down so the trackwheel faces toward you when you lift up your arm. This way, you don't have to twist it around or remove it from the pouch to change a song or volume. This ipod arm band you can wear the ipod upside down on your arm without worrying that it'll fall out since the belt clip has a latch to secure it. You can also wear it secure on your belt if you prefer. I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars since I'm not sure how durable it'll be since the front side is mostly plastic and it'll likely be scratched up in a year or so. but it does look slick when it's brand new like mine is.
I like it...fits Nike+ (sort of).......2007-01-12
I purchased this case along with a Nike+ sensor hoping that it would fit since the case that Nike is selling got poor reviews. The case does fit, although you really have to stretch the neoprene over the bottom of the sensor to get the velcro to catch and hold. It's not bad for something that was not designed for this purpose. I also love the belt clip feature -- I don't have to use the armband if I don't want to. I can also clip the Ipod securely inside my purse while commuting on the subway.
DLO Action Jacket- GREAT timing!.......2007-01-11
This Ipod jacket came within a week of ordering, just in time for the holiday rush!

Excellent buy!!.......2007-08-16
The package comes with a nano case and an armband, very comfy to wear. The case is tightly secured with the armband. You can also detach them and use them separately. There is a small hole on the bottom right hand corner of the case for the headphone cord. But it doesn't have a big slit for the socket if you're using FM radio headphone. I mainly use my nano at the gym and it serves me very well. I have three armbands so I can choose which one to use depending on my need. I got it for about $11, plus shipping.

Out of date product.......2007-12-24
I bought this to go with the new Nano that I bought for my wife for Christmas. Unfortunately, it's a sports sleeve for the earlier versions of the Nano and there is nothing in the writeup to indicate this. It really sucks to by things over the internet and then get old, out of date products instead of what you thought you were going to get.
Quality, price and function.......2007-07-13
This product was under $15. It protects my iPod Nano from bumps. It comes with an armband strap that I use for running but otherwise leave off. It's easy to take teh strap on and off.
Great buy !!!.......2007-05-21
The white cover is great. I got it instead of the black b/c I have a red I-Pod and I wanted the color to show. It looks like a faded red, but better than black. The holes for the buttons are good, but for the hold button i cut a bigger hole. Also don't mess too much with the screen cover. I tried perfecting it so much that I rubbed some of the glue off and created a smug. And it would be nice if they made the arm band white, b/c unless your I-pod is white you end up with a medley of colors. Quality is great just the thing I was looking for. I never have to worry abut dropping this tiny device.
So far so good.......2007-05-15
I bought it to protect my ipod from the elements (meaning all the various stuff in my purse), and it's worked perfectly well for that purpose. I haven't used the arm band just yet, but it seems to be comfortable enough to wear while jogging. I love that it includes a thing to protect the screen.
Works great with nike+ sports kit.......2006-09-04
I have done a few runs with this Ipod holder. It is very comfortable. The sleeve allows access to the top and bottom. This allows the Nike+ receiver to be connected to the ipod while you are running. This is much better than the Nike ipod holder as in this one you can see the screen. It is not water proof so no running in the rain with it.

Customer Reviews:
Just what I was hoping for.......2007-08-24
I'm impressed with this little thing. The case is well-made and has a very solid feel. The Nano fits perfectly into the skin and into the MiniBlaster. I didn't have difficulties with the fit like others mentioned. Getting the Nano out takes some pushing, but that's the way it should be. You don't want it falling out on it's own and hitting the pavement. All the Nano controls are accessible. The front, circular control (volume/scroll) works fine through a silicon skin and is very protected.
The reason we buy this thing is for sound and size. Size and weight are impressively minimal. You won't beat that anywhere. As for sound, it's not a home entertainment center or a Bose IPod system - it's a tiny little device that offers maximum portability. If you can bring your Bose system along with you, then do it. If you need something small and more portable, then read on.
The sound has a distinct clarity. Mids to highs are crisp and well separated. What you loose is bass. It's attenuated, but not dull or muddy. I wasn't expecting strong bass with a frequency response of 450Hz to 20KHz. It's not built for it and shouldn't be expected.
It's made, as others have said, for you and a couple of friends in an environment without too much ambient noise. If you are looking for a system that you can play at a beech party with a big group of friends, keep looking, because this isn't it. Too many voices chatting away will drown this little thing out.
In a reasonably quiet room or out on the trail, you get enough volume to really enjoy the music. It's loud enough to hear the detail in the sound. It even gets too loud for conversations and has to be turned down. Don't get me wrong, the neighbors won't be calling or stomping on the floor. It has what it needs to fill the niche that it's designed for.
I personally like the sound with the EQ set to "Small Speakers" - seems like a good balance for Classic Rock which I tend to listen to the most.
If you want a small, light and very portable speaker system to free you from headphones and make portable music a social experience between friends again, then you are onto something.
Enjoy!
Great for use while traveling.......2007-08-11
I wanted to be able to listen to podcasts and my own music while commuting and so first purchased (for $80) an FM converter that plugged into the lighter and my iPod and then matched an unused frequency to play what was on the iPod. The sound wasn't great and it changed depending on where I was driving. I spent a lot of time trying to find the right static frequency and match it with the device. In the short time that I tried it out I had to switch frequencies twice.
So, I looked for a speaker. I decided that it wouldn't be a disaster to buy something at this price to try even if it didn't work great. It was what I was looking for! I can use it in the car and also other places where I want to play what is on my ipod so that others can hear. It is not great sound quality, but it is much better than what I was getting with the FM converter and much easier. I can either use batteries or the AC adaptor (I already have a device that converts the cigarette lighter into AC power).
It is a great solution for what I was looking for.
Good Product.......2007-07-26
I recommend this product over similar products that are outrageously expensive. Powerful sound for it's size and easy to use. Great value.
Wow, under 15 bucks including shipping!.......2007-07-04
Don't expect too much bass out of -any- tiny speakers but as a way to turn your nano into a sort of 21st century "transistor radio" equivalent with stereo audio and a better sound quality, this little thing is superb. Talk radio podcasts are delivered very clearly and music can be enjoyed to an extent especially if you choose an appropriate EQ setting on your nano. Volume capability is decent, just don't expect to entertain an audience bigger than about two or three. Battery life is good for the 4x AAA batteries.

The sound is good from the Miniblaster, but getting my Ipod in and out of it is a real chore!! It is very difficult to do. It not only is very hard to place in the miniblaster, but getting it out is even worse. I like the size of it as it doesn't take up a lot of room when I place it on the counter. Just difficult to use. It is also hard to adjust the volume with the "skin" on it.
