Grantwood Technology - grantwood technology, ipod touch 4th generation


This is a great product. The band is extremely comfortable -- no chafing, it doesn't cut off circulation, it is easy to take on and off. The rubber case is awesome -- completely protects the iPod and is easy to remove. I've even kept the case on and taken the arm band off when I'm just using the iPod while I'm out and about. Awesome protection. The TuneBand is not big and bulky like many exercise bands are. It's simple. Not too fancy. Doesn't have gimmick additions. It's just right. I've already recommended it to friends. This product is far superior to other products out there on the market.



Further, Grantwood Technology has the best customer service I've ever seen. The arm band was a bit too big for my arm, and they sent me the shorter length band in the mail for free. I've bought a few products from them now, and they never cease to amaze me. Ritz Carlton level of service for awesome iPod, kindle, etc. accessories!! Don't waste your time going anywhere else. NEW!! Tuneband for iPod Touch (4th Generation), Grantwood Technology's Armband, Silicone Skin, and Screen Protector, 8GB/16GB/32GB/64GB, BLACK

I first purchased a tuneband for my ipod nano, and the arm band was too short for my arms. I contacted the company and they immediately sent me a longer arm band with no questions or paperwork required. When I purchased my Ipod touch, I immediately purchased a tuneband for it. The fit, as with my nano, is perfect. There is no concern of my touch falling out of the case. Since the back of the touch is prone to scratching, this product not only protects from this issue, but it is also versatile for different uses of my ipods. The strap easily slides out of the cover for when I'm not working out, so I don't have to continuously switch cases. Great product and even better company to do business with.

I have used the tuneband 5 days a week during my workout since I received it. I thought it was very comfortable. I tried it over my shirt sleeve and also on my bare upper arm and was impressed that it was comfortable either way. I had a tune band from another company and thought it was very itchy/uncomfortable and it kept sliding down my arm. I had no problems with this one... it stayed in place. I would recommend it to others. Being a female, the only thing I can say is that it would be cool if there were some cool colors to choose from :-)

I like this product very much and bought it for a second time. It is very secure for jogging. The first tune band I bought included the shoe pouch for the nike+ and I am disappointed it is not sold with the shoe pod for the nike+ this time.

This is a great armband, comfortable, easy to use, durable. Works great for my arm size but might be too small for a bigger guy. Fits my brother well. Love that I can take off the armband and I have a case to protect my ipod. Wish it came in a color other than black.

The TuneBand 4G is really awesome. It fits exactly as it should on the new iPod Touch 4th Generation. The elastic band fits comfortably on your arm when you are exercising. The placing of the camera cutout and sensor is perfect and the screen protector compliments it perfectly. What makes it better is the ability to remove and/or add the strap for the times that you would like to exercise or not so that you can still carry the iPod around in its silicone casing.

We were a Beta Tester for Sean Mills, Co-Owner, Grantwood Technology LLC



Here are our findings:



We found product to be of excellent quality and workmanship. It provides a 4th Generation iPod sufficient "bump" protection and was shielded from arm perspiration during workouts and running. Unsure how well elastic band would hold up over time if washed, however, that is a minor concern. The armband is totally and easily adjustable thanks to the Velcro, providing comfort on the go. This is a practical and essential accessory!

Problem: How to go mobile with your Touch, with the screen and controls easily accessible while the iPod is secure, without looking like a total dork.



Solution: Grantwood Technology's Tuneband.



There are two main elements to this product: the neoprene case for the Touch, and a strap that is threaded through the back of the case that goes around your arm and attaches with Velcro. It also comes with a screen protector, but I'm not using that element at this time.



What attracted me to this particular product were two things: First, the strap is independent of the neoprene case; and second, this was one of the few mobile carriers I could find that leaves both the controls and the screen completely free of any covering or hindrance. All elements of the iPod Touch are easily accessible.



My purpose in seeking a mobile carrier was shopping: I wanted to be able to listen to music while still accessing my list(s), looking up product information, or anything else I wanted to do with my Touch. I carry a small purse and was afraid my Touch would take a tumble if I was rooting around for other things, so I wanted it secured separately. The Tuneband was the perfect product for me.



I had one other requirement: I have an InCase Metallic Snap Case on my Touch and I did not want to have to remove that each time I wanted to go mobile. It is a very low profile, slim product, and the Tuneband neoprene cover still fits snugly, it just bows out a wee bit at the bottom with the InCase case on, which is fine, because the Touch is still very secure.



Like others, the original strap was much too large because I wanted to wear this on my forearm, just below my watch. Grantwood Technology responded to my e-mail within hours and shipped a new strap promptly.



I'll be looking at other Grantwood Technology products because the quality of this product and customer service simply can't be beat. - Case - Ipod Accessories - Grantwood Technology - Ipod Touch 4th Generation'
