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

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.
JLab Audio.......2007-06-08
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.

Great sound quality for such a tiny package.......2007-11-05
I bought the miniblaster portable speaker in December 2006. I was amazed at the quality of the sound for such tiny speakers. Now, almost one year later, the speakers are still going strong. If you are looking for good quality pocket size speakers, these are a good choice.
A Great iPod Speaker........2007-08-08

STOP THINKING AND BUY IT.......2007-07-28
Best bang for the buck...i read all the reviews. just buy it. you can't beat $15 shipped. it gets the job done.
Excellent Company.......2007-06-11
My 11 year old daughter saved her $$ and did some on line research and ended up buying these. She loved them for the size which allowed her to take them into bed, on the bus etc. The audio in my opinion was "OK", but she was very happy.
We had bought them along with their noise reducing ear buds which I use while traveling in planes. I can wear them x- country very comfortably
Unfortunately we had technical problems and contacted JBL. I happened to email them on a Sunday afternoon and in about 15 minutes a real person (Josh) responded. A real person.... on a Sunday!!
He resolved the issue- which ultimately required a warranty replacement.
I cannot say enough good things about this company and Josh. I woudl buy their products again without hesitation
What a disappointment........2007-05-26
On my first foray into looking for the perfect mini speaker for my Ipod, I bought the Aiptek Mist for Nano (not realizing it only works with Gen 2 Nano)---boy, was it a cute little thing. Disappointed they don't make that product for Gen 1 Nanos, I searched Amazon for the perfect replacement mini speaker that would work with my Nano Gen 1. The JLab Miniblaster had 4 stars. Folks, speak up, because I cannot be the only one who was shocked by the low quality of this product!!
*When I first plugged it in, you couldn't hear anything because of interference from my TV remote!
*When I finally heard sound it was fuzzy at best and never got much better
*The volume level is only a smidgen better than what I can hear through my earbuds when they are out of my ears!
I read and re-read the direction and am convinced I did everything properly. I even tried it with battery power only, in the house, out of the house. No luck. This is a lousy product and I am giving it one star. This is being shipped back today.

Would have been better off putting it in my pocket without a case.......2007-02-08
I was suckered into buying this case when I first got my 5G iPod about a year ago.
Within about a week I noticed the smudges around the border of the plastic.
Within about a month, there were little smudges on the screen just from the basic pressure of it being in my pocket.
Within 6 months, I couldn't even tell what was on the screen without a blacklight.
I have friends who have had iPods longer than I have, keep it in the case that comes with it or the iPod socks you get for 5 bucks at wal mart, and they look much better than mine.
Now I wish that I didn't even buy the case. One of the coolest things about the iPod is it's sleek, clean look. Now the very thing that was supposed to protect my iPod actually conributed to the crappy, dirty look that it has now.
I essentially paid best buy 30 bucks to smudge my iPod for me. Do not buy this.
Good with caution..........2007-01-30
I bought this after reading all of the reviews about this scratching your Ipod.
I went and bought an Invisible Shield before using this product so I cannot confirm the scratching theory...though I believe all of these reviewers.
Since I already have the protection I had bought this for the purpose of usability. For me the design is perfect. I also prefer the removable clip cause it is exactly what I needed.
The only con for me...since I don't have the scratching problem...is the fact that the shield over the dial can occasionally be a little non-sensative and needs extra pressure for me to actually control the dial...and at other times it is ultra sensitive and when you want to nudge up the volume it actually jumps because the shield is not as tight to the dial. I think I would actually just rather not have the film there.
it scratches the ipod - dont buy it.......2007-01-29
pretty much what others say. it scratched the ipod instead of protect it. the reason is the lack of a well thought design. the plastic that protects the screen has a U cut inside, and that U cut is what makes the marks on the ipod
DON'T BUY.......2007-01-04
I bought this case the same day i bought my ipod about six months ago and as soon as i got the ipod i put it in the case
within a month there was noticeable scratches (i never took it out) and within 3 months there was a huge area of scratches around the click wheel. i decided to go back to the default cheap skin that apple gives you with the ipod, and that has protected it BETTER the last three months! There are only a few more scratches that occured while i had it out of the white case
DON'T BUY
Its Good - ease of taking iPod in and Out of the case.......2006-12-21
I like this case because its easy to take the iPod in and out- I use a docking station and fm Transmitter in my car so I need the ipod to be used free of the case. I tried the iSkin case but it encloses the iPod completely and does not allow it to be used with docks and fm transmitters. I also tried the 'Vaja' leather case from Covercase but it has no belt clip!
The DLO case has the right padding so the ipod gets the protection it needs from bumps and falls without the adding too much bulk (like the ToughSkin). The belt clip is perfect, comes off with ease and also lets the ipod rotate.
If you can put a protective film(+ $3) on the front and back, it wont scratch your ipod.

Total Protection.......2007-11-16
The Action Jacket is worth every penny of the $29.95 I paid for it at Best Buy, which makes it an exceptional value at the pice it's offered for on Amazon. It fits the 3G Nano like a glove, protects it from my clumsy handling, and allows me to attach the iPod by clip or or armband, depending on my activity, which is usually at the gym in the free weight room or on the cardio equipment. There's a cut-out for the "tuning wheel", so the jacket doesn't interfere with changing somgs or adjusting volume. I consider the Action Jacket a must-have accessory.
Disappointing - 2 1/2 stars.......2007-10-06
I purchased this item today. The belt clip rotates 180 degrees, however, that 180 is from side-to one end-to side--clumsy--why not 360 degrees? Also, when turning the belt clip, it will easily tear the neoprene unless you open the clip while turning. That was a bit shocking! Perhaps I am more accustomed to sturdier "soft" cases.

very good case.......2007-12-17
The case fits very nicely and looks great. Only 4 stars because I don't like to flip open the bottom sleeve every time I want to charge my ipod.
Almost Perfect.......2007-11-22
Marware carry cases (I've had a few) are the most versatile I could find. The prices are pretty reasonable too. The functionality on this one is great. My only criticism is that the flap on the bottom is a real hassle every time you want to charge or sync the device.
Great product with a resonable price........2007-11-22
This is a great product if you just want to spend reasonable amount of money for working out or just use blet clip or other things.
Cover that nano!.......2007-11-14
This is a great product - it protects my ipod and allows me to drive, run, and even cook while I listen to my tunes! Wrist and arm band adjust to fit any size person and it's easily wiped clean. Still allows access to the lock and plug in's.
It can get in to way of the USB cable but that's not a major issue.
Highly recommended
best iPod case I've ever owned.......2007-11-13
I got a Marware case for my MacBook Pro, and I loved it so I thought I'd try one of their iPod cases for my brand new nano. I'm really impressed. It comes with clear protective stickers for the screen and click wheel, but I found that with the sticker plus the clear plastic covering the wheel, it was hard to turn the wheel without clicking the buttons because I had to press so hard to get a response. Without the sticker, the wheel is just fine. The sticker on the screen doesn't put a glare on the screen, and neither does the plastic of the case. (the screen protector for my PSP is not so nice... it gave it a nasty glare) The case fits perfect, not too snug and not too loose, and that cool squishy material is really cool. It's thin, but thick enough to protect your ipod if you do happen to drop it, the material absorbs a lot of shock for it's thickness. There are holes at the bottom for the hold switch and headphones, and the dock connector is covered by a little flap that tucks in quite nicely to keep gunk out of the port. It's a little tiny bit of a struggle to open the flap enough to plug in the connector, but it only takes a little stretching. It's also a little bit difficult to get your iPod out-the screen tends to stick to the plastic of the case, but it's not something to worry about, I know I don't intend to take my iPod out of the case anytime soon. The accessories are cool, I use the belt clip, but the hand strap and arm strap would be awesome for working out. I tried them both, they feel very secure, and the clip that holds it in place feels strong.
Overall really the best iPod case I've ever used. I would recommend it to anyone!
