Has some major short comings (Rating: 1 out of 5) I run with my Nike+ iPod about 3-4 times a week. I am not a big sweater, but this thing turns into a sponge even on my short runs. The plastic cover gets fogged up and when I take out my nano at the end of the run, there is a far bit of moisture on it. It has all but ruined my nano. It turns itself off and will not come back on. It takes several hours for it to come back to life.
Two other points, don't run in a shirt with no sleeves, the armband will rub your skin raw. The click wheel is very hard to use when you need to raise/lower volume or anything else that requires you to scroll.
Does the job (Rating: 5 out of 5) I'm Marware keeps making these relay case because i hate the arm ones which always bend out of shape and are hard to navigate while running! the More Ipods i buy as they upgrade from time to time I will probably always buy this relay case
wow... useful!~ soft~! flexible!~ (Rating: 4 out of 5) Wow... it is so useful, soft, and flexible!~
Personally, I received from trade agency company.
So, I spent more fee than product price.
That price is cheaper than purchasing nike+ shoes.
It has reasonable price because of adapting any other shoes.
This case was made with soft and durable materials.
And it is so convenient to stick to my non nike+ shoes.
I'm using iPod with acryl case, whenever I take it from it,
I felt hard to put in it. Anyway, I recommend 100 percent!!~
Does the job, but feels cheap, lets in moisture (Rating: 2 out of 5) After doing a lot of research I decided on the Marware Sportsuit Relay for my Nano. I chose it on several criteria
1) had to allow for the Nike Plus adapter
2) needed to be versatile (fits wrist or arm)
3) needed to keep moisture out (fails at that)
4) needed to be easy to use and relatively durable
So far I have mixed feelings.
On one hand it stays on my arm/wrist, the scroll wheel is reasonably accessible through the plastic cover, it's pretty comfortable to wear, and easy to get iPod in and out after a couple times using it.
Downsides are it allows moisture in the back so the iPod has to be constantly removed to dry (which I wanted to avoid), the quality can only be described as cheap feeling - especially the tacky patent number on the back of the product showing through the plastic window when no iPod is in it, and it doesn't provide any headphone cord management (although I rig mine through the strap it doesn't always stay).
Overall this is a usable device and it's not bad enough for me to replace it with something else (mostly because I don't think there's anything really better out there on the market sadly), but I wouldn't recommend it either. Sadly the Nano is now in a 4th generation so I doubt there will be any new great cases coming out for the 3G.
I've seen better... (Rating: 3 out of 5) The strap and pocket are comfortable, but the velcro does not hold firmly and it is difficult to use the navigation wheel on the i-pod nano when it is in the pocket. I like the space for the transmitter chip and the fabric, but a 1-piece arm strap instead of the 2-piece would be an improvement since I like to wear the strap around my arm when I exercise. Needs improvement!
