A little difficult to navigate with the iPod classicThe band is very comfortable. It was really made for the iPod Touch. The classic is difficult to navigate with the plastic film over it. I may even decide to cut a circle out.

Top draw!The only reason I did not give this product 5 stars was due to the strap.
It does tend to slip from time to time.
I like to do alot of running and I run alot of races. This product has never let me down and I would be lost without it.
Ideal for running and a purchase worth every penny.

Good idea, poor manufacturingI do lots of running and required a good armband to wear in all weather types. Seeing the name XtremeMac SportsWrap caught my eye straight away and I purchased it on the basis that it would be waterproof. On receiving the product I was slightly disappointed and tested it a few times, it does slip on the arm. Altough the front and back sections are waterproof, the material around the ipod is not, meaning water can seap through. I'm now worried about taking the ipod out in the armband during wet weather because apple won't be liable as it is not an official apple product.
Still a good product however it needs a few improvements.

OK, but not great.This sportwrap is great if you're a daily jogger or gym type.
Pros: lightweight, sturdy armband, full size screen so everyone can see your "full" ipod rather than jsut the screen for everyone who likes to show off their ipod.
Cons: No opening for the dock connector which means the ipod can't be charged while in the sportwrap. It's quite bulky. If your arms aren't solid like Arnie's, there probably will be a bulge factor over the top and bottom of the band so probably not good if you're going for the sleek look. If you're wanting to charge the ipod, or take it with you say in your handbag, you'll have to take it out of the sportwrap which all adds in the end to a more scratched ipod - sadly it's unavoidable with apple's oh so thoughtful design.
Overall, I'd say it's OK, but not the best buy in the world.

Ok, but it does slipI agree with the previous reviewer that this product does indeed slip down the arm, however as i'm sure many of you run with bent arms it will stop abover your elbow, the material is designed to stop your ipod getting wet, this may be the reason that it slips down the arm.
I am of a skinny build and this band does fit securely round my arm, and there is no danger of it falling off.
I also agree that the headphone hole doesn't align properly, although amazon market this product for the ipod video, it appears as though it is designed for all ipods of this size, I never had one other than the video so I don't know if the headphone socket has a slightly different placement, however it hasn't proven to be a problem.
