Customer Reviews

Could be much better
The armband works very well for it's purpose. It sits comfortably on my arm and doesn't move about. However it could have been designed so much better. The most obvious problem is the lack of hole to see the battery indicator (though this was easily solved with a swiss army knife) the top slider is also a little tricky to use if you cut or bite your nails short. My silicone case has also started splitting along the top seam after only 3 months of moderate use each day. It is a real shame that the case is poorly designed as I can't think of any player other than the Zen Stone that I would rather use for exercise. Hopefully alternative armbands will prove to be superior.

Functional only
This came free with my Zen Stone, so perhaps I should be more grateful. But...

The set-up consists of an adjustable nylon armband with a little velcro at each end, and a rubber housing for the Stone itself.

The armband is far too large for me and I could only get it to work by wrapping it twice around my arm, even on the smallest adjustable setting. Velcro all along the strap would have helped.

The rubber housing for the Stone is functional with cutouts for the controls, USB socket and input jack. There's no cut-out for the power / battery level light but you can see it through the rubber. Just. If you look hard.

The rubber housing is black and of quite a "sticky" rubber - picks up fluff and grot quite easily.

So - it does what it says, as long as your arms aren't as skinny as mine and that you value function over aesthetics.

why does it have to be black?
This is a really comfortable armband for the gym, the only problem is it's matt black, so my lovely pink stone just looks like a black stone with a pink control. Because it's matt black you can't see if it's on or off without listening to it and you can't see the low battery light. Why not make it in a clear or frosted plastic so that those who want this fabulous Mp3 in a glorious colour can show off their purchase and make all those saddos who've spent a fortune on their iPods zenstone pink, red, yellow or blue with envy. Or better still Creative labs, make it in the matching stone colours! How about that for an idea?
