Terrible. Get a cheap silicone case instead. A hearty recommendation NOT to get the Griffin Tempo Armband for iPod Video.
It couldn't be further from what I wanted, other than being an armband. The neoprene is too stetchy on the armband, the velcro pads are poorly spaced, while the opening is way too tight considering the loose fit over the iPod once you manage to get it in. Yes, on the first try I oystered my never-used iPod across the room onto a hardwood floor.
The stitching holding the plastic face to the neoprene...

waiting for it to break so I can replace Very very tight. I am afraid my iPod will fly across the room when inserting it. There is no way to charge the iPod while its in the armband. To insert it I have to put the iPod in sideways and twist it after I squeezed it half way in. Due to this I have a bend mark in the clear plastic in front. It hasn't broken yet and it is very inexpensive and cheaply made. So if you want something to get you by until you find the perfect one go for it... but there are better ones out there.

Great Product, a bit difficult to get in the IPOD It works great, and protects the IPOD very well, the only problems is to put in and take out the IPOD, because you have to take it out of the rubber skin, and it is a bit tedious process.

Not What I Expected Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: The cord wrap is a nice addition.
Cons: To much room for 1st generation iPods, Armband isn't for smaller arms.
Other Thoughts: Although, the manufacturer (Griffin) claims this armband can be used for 1st generation iPod’s, it’s quite obvious that once the player is placed in the holder the abund...

Not Nano Compatible Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Fine for ipod video, iphone and touch
Cons: This is not compatible with ipod nano. Well it's compatible if you consider that you are going to be putting your nano into something 3 times it's size. I bought it since it claimed to be compatible and it was not returnable. Do not buy this for a nano

Works for Intended Purpose This case does work for what I wanted--something to hold and protect my 80gb iPod video while I ran.
While not very feminine, I sweat a lot, so it's important I have something that fully covers my iPod while working out, which ruled out anything that exposed the wheel. The clear, plastic cover does make it possible to operate the iPod when it's in the case, but it is a bit stiff and does not lie flat, as another reviewer mentioned. This makes it harder to scroll with the wheel than...
