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.

My wife purchased this for me because I was rehabbing an injury at the pool. At the same time, she purchased an iPod Nano to use with it. When she surprised me with it I was elated. I used it right away and had decent results. It was difficult to load the Nano in the sleeve but after doing so, I secured it and the unit seemed watertight.

However, the next time I used it at a later date, on the second lap the music stopped and the Nano got noticeably hot on my arm. After exiting the pool I noticed water had gotten in and fried my brand new Nano. I was greatly skeptical that H20 would take care of the situation but was surprised to read (in other reviews) they had an iPod replacement policy. I returned the Nano and the defective sleeve.

A short time later the CEO of the company got back to me and informed he had tested the sleeve and found a "rare" defect that allowed water in. He was willing to replace the whole thing for free and even send me a check for my Nano. Great! How could this go wrong? A week or two later I received the check for my Nano... it was $46 less than what I paid. Upon questioning the CEO he advised that they would only replace the cost of a refurbished Nano as they had no idea whether my Nano was used 100 times or 1. He also indicated this was a generous policy.

In closing, I opted to return H20's products for a refund and take my business elsewhere. I've been alarmed by the other reviews that indicate having to return the sleeve so many times. It makes me wonder how often this happens to other people.

well i bought this product and was amazed in the beginning and i would do more laps than ever. who wouldn't enjoy music while swimming. i even wrote some good reviews about this product.
but then came the disappointment. my biggest fear came true. I discovered that water had actually entered inside the area where i placed the ipod touch. initially i thought maybe i had not closed the lid properly but this goddamn thing actually leaked. the transparent plastic material they have used had fine opening at the edges. maybe its my bad luck that i got a defective piece but my brand new ipod touch is dead. i would never recommend this to anyone
