Order Apple TU017ZM/A Nike Sport Armband Case for iPod nano for 4G


I bought this along with my iPod Nano 4th and the Nike+ under the assumption that the collaboration between Nike and Apple would find its best home in this armband so endorsed by Apple and Nike.
I was wrong.
Not to start on a negative - I would say this: it is very slim and low profile. I found it sitting well on my arm and can be turned not to disturb most motion ranges.
There - not all is bad.

Sadly however, the Nike armband fails in the most basic of its requirements - house the iPod Nano 4th and allow operation of the unit.
Placing the Nano and taking it out of the case is a struggle. The case is so slim and so tight that i requires a flat surface, elbow grease and luck. On the bright side there is a low risk of it falling out of the case..

The most problematic issue i have with this is that the iPod cannot be operated while inside the case. The turn wheel response is flaky at best so sometimes it would register a click instead of a turn and sometimes it won't register anything.
This means that during a run i was forced to spend minutes just trying to change the volume or set up an exercise.
From a product that's not supposed to do much other than allowing me to keep my iPod safe and usable - this failure means that the product did not accomplish its purpose and i am not using it anymore.
As a matter of fact, i would rather keep my ipod in my pocket rather than use this.
