Price H2O Audio Amphibx Waterproof Armband for iPhone, iPod touch, Large MP3 Players and Phones

Over All Rating Reviews :

You will see this case reviewed very positively elsewhere, and the idea behind it (that you buy a case that will roughly fit an MP3 player of an approximate size, and be able to use it with multiple players, new generations of the Nano, etc) is intriguing. But it's not as great as I was led to believe.

The quality of the construction is really good. There's a neoprene and rubber arm-band, which seems very well-made. Tucked inside is a separate, heavy clear plastic waterproof envelope that is connected to an airtight gasket. You slip your MP3 player through the gasket, connect a short headphone cord, and IN THEORY slide the MP3 player in place. No problem, right?

Well, for the Nano 5G, there seem to be several issues (and based on the fact that the 5G is the same length as the 4G, these issues should occur there, too). First, the narrow rectangular gasket opening: Too short to slide the nano through sideways, you have to slide it through at an angle. Given that the waterproof envelope is none to big, and you have all that neoprene behind it, sliding it in and out is an adventure every time, and NOT the good kind of adventure. Feels like there's a serious risk of applying too much pressure to the Nano's screen, or scratching it, or whatever.

I have attempted putting my 5G Nano in there five or six times, and I have yet to be successful at getting it all the way in and positioned correctly in the window. Even if I had, the "hold" switch on the top of the Nano would not be accessible in any way -- so good luck if you have problems with "shake to shuffle" or if the plastic window accidentally depresses any of the controls. I have to believe that unless there's some trick I'm missing here, putting the Nano in and out of the case to sync or charge it will be a tremendous pain.

I really WANT this thing to work, but I'm on the verge of returning it.
