Belkin Sports Armband for Zune 4gb/8gb Reviewed
When it comes to Belkin, well they know there stuff. This is another quality product as usual from the brand for your Zune 4 gb and 8 gb players. First feature I noticed was the aesthetically pleasing synthetics they use. Very durable, I know I tried stretching it in to two with no luck. Next I played with the velcro. The velcro continues around the whole band to fit any size of arm. Highly durable velcro also I might add. Now the coolest discovery on this bad boy had to be the key holder. I cannot tell you how much I hate worrying about losing my key at the gym. Makes me wish I would of thought of just slipping it in to my old armband with a small cushion between the player and key before. Now for the players safety there is a firm fit to the body of the player. Its like your players wearing a full fledges diving suit. It is not falling out of there. There is also simple access to all your necessary ports unlike some bad designs. Now what I did not find perfect about this design is that it is still the same old simple plastic face protector. Not that you would need much protection on your screen at a gym but I have seen some fancier designs that not only look good but protect better than this generic face plastic. Another negative aspect of this product is that it looks kind of lame on someone with a small arm (not me of course). There is to much velcro left showing on the slack with this design. Now I know I also said it has a safe snug fit for your player but at first uses it will be a frustrating shoving battle breaking this sleeves cherry. Maybe next time you guys at belkin can do that for us.
