Do Not Buy
I have had this armband for a week, and already the velcro is coming off the band, and it is hard to adjust. I am throwing it away. Do Not waste your money. The best one I found is the "incase" ipod nano armband. I got mine from the apple store.
Perfect Fit
The Belkin Neoprene Sports Armband for the iPod nano 3G is a well-made and very practical item. When used while running, the armband, if velcroed securely in place, stays safely on your arm while you exercise. Make sure you have the 3 gig nano before you buy this product, because I bought this for my 8 gig, and it doesn't quite fit perfectly. All in all, this armband is satisfactory in almost every way. I would highly recommend it.
one size does not fit all...
the band is too big for my arm, so i had to resize it by cutting out a portion of the band and resewing it together so that the velcro components would meet. the plastic cover protecting the ipod obscures the readability and also makes navigating it impossible without removing the ipod from the band which snugly fits and is difficult to exhume.
Small arms only!
I really like the design. It's lightweight, and the Neoprene doesn't get drenched with sweat. But the armband is rather small. I'm a pretty average 5'8" man, and nobody is ever gonna confuse me with Hulk Hogan, but the armband was too tight for me. I ended up buying the TuneBand instead. It's not as fancy, but it fits much better.
One other bummer about the Belkin -- there is no access to the dock interface while it's in the armband. That means you'll have to remove the Nano every time you want to charge or sync the unit.
Belkin Armband
The clear plastic window over the ipod started to peel away from the neoprene after only a few uses. I'm still using it after more than 1 month, but I think it won't last too many more. Cheap product at a cheap price.
