Review of belkin ipod armband.

Description
Material used is soft neoprene textile .
With clear pvc window for ipod acess and a keyholder for locker keys. The armband also sports ventilation holes along the length of the armband.
Fasteners are the normal velcro tab thru a stainless steel loop. Reflective logo printed on side of armband.
Run test
During the run, PVC window view of my ipod is good without any vapor forming up due to the heat. Accessing the scroll wheel was thou stiff and slightly harder to turn scroll wheel..but still manageable. Perhaps using a thinner PVC might me better for window.

as I am a nikeplus user I find that there isn't a hole at the bottom of the ipod case for the extension holder. I have to resort to inverting the ipod using the larger opening.

The pocket for the locker key should have consideration for slightly larger one. As sometimes runner park their cars and use the pocket for their car key.

I find that my perspiration might enter the case as the opening is exposed and does not have a flap to cover it.

Over all i still find it comfortable to run at up to distance of 10km but not sure how it would feel doing a marathon with this armband.
And since its machine washable with all the wash instruction printed at the back of the armband.So go ahead throw it in!

Summary
A good comfortable band great for your normal runs, although not made for nikeplus but with a little hack you can still use it ( with a little getting used to viewing it upside down or right side up).

Availablity - not known yet
