This armband is okay, not great; it does the job of securing the ipod nano 6th generation. However, the plastic part where the ipod attaches to irritates the skin a little when tightening the armband. And the armband does not shorten its length to accommodate small arms - I have to continually pull it up as it tends to slide down.

I have read the reviews and still couldn't figure out how the armband works. How can this be so confusing? So, my husband finally came in to see why I was working with the strap for 35 minutes, and he figuered it out. Don't use the clip on the I Pod, it is for your shirt or belt. Use the clip on the strap and it will glide into the I Pod. It does fit perfectly and will not slid out.
I'm happy with it, except that I guess I'm a little mechanically-impaired because it took me forever to figure out how the nano actually clips into the armband. The armband itself doesn't come with any instructions (but I needed some). The clip of the nano actually is threaded through the back of the armband.
Griffin needs to design a better arm band that will keep the Nano more secure than what it currently does. I went hiking last week and made sure the Nano was securely fastened on the band before heading out. At about half way, I realized it was no longer on the arm band. Try finding a graphite colored Nano in the woods. Exactly.
This band does not hold your iPod securely. A slight bump releases it and if my earphones hadn't
been attached to it I'd have lost it many times. I'm active and wear it on my forearm so it may be
more secure on your upper arm. So I've switched to a Belkin armband which holds my iPod so secure
that it takes some effort to remove it!
My husband bought this armband for me for Christmas. I was skeptical from the beginning looking at the way that the IPod is supposed to attached to it. This has a clip that attaches underneath the clip that is on the IPod. There is not way to fully secure the IPod to the band and there is also no protective cover for the face of the IPod. My husband attached and shook it around a little and the IPod flew off. I will use this for running so it wasn't practical for me. It might be just fine for walking or other low impact activities.
I've owned my armband for about six months now and use it 3-4xs a week. The band doesn't slide down and if it chafes, you can put bodyglide on your arm and it'll alleviate the rubbing. When I first got it the iPod felt loose on the clip, but now it feels more secure and I have no worries about it falling off *knock on wood* - Armbands - Nano Case - 6th Generation - Nano Armband'
