No bouncing when im running

Advantages: Good fit, comfort
Disadvantages: Only fits the Zen

As some of you may be aware, ive been on a major health and fitness kick since 1st Jan and part of this has been jogging/running. However, spending time on my own pacing across the forest or more importantly, down at the gym can get a little tedious without some entertainment. My Ipod is a little large to take out with me and the headphones are a little restrictive with it in my shorts pocket. So I needed an alternative method of listening to my ...
...the solution. "Borrow my MP3 player. you can get an armstrap for it as Claire has one for the Gym." My eyes lit up. There was the answer. However I was a little sceptical with the thought of the band loosening/slipping mid motion and the Zen ending up on the floor as I trample it on the running machine. But oh no, this is ace. So now you know why I have it/need it, here is what it does. Looks/FeelWell, its not the most complex of items! Its ...

Review of Creative ZEN Armband Arm pack MP3 Player

Gymtastic armband

Advantages: Very comfortable
Disadvantages: Can look a little bulky

My boyfriend bought me this as one of my Christmas presents so I could listen to my music in the gym without having to tuck my player into the band of my trousers! I was pleasantly surprised by the armband. I was initially a little worried that it would either slip down or cut off the circulation to my arm. The band adjusts by a velcro system and is elasticated so that using weights and flexing won't be hampered by the armband. The flexible skin ...
...skin and the whole thing clips onto the band. So if you find that you want to remove the player but keep the band on then you can, which is a handy function if for example the headphone wire is getting in the way of what you're doing. I was very impressed so if you have the Mosaic and are a gym-goer or runner then this is for you! ...

Review of Creative ZEN Mozaic Armband and Skin with Clip Arm pack MP3 Player

Fancy a Colour Change.. ?

Advantages: different colours provided, a removable clip, the skins are quiet strong
Disadvantages: they are not meant to protect the screen,

...few months of owning the Creative 8GB Mp3 Player I decided that it was time to protect the Mp3 Player from scratches and dirt. I would have bought the leather skin but it was rather expensive for my budget so decided to buy the three colour silicone skins. The silicone skins were rather cheap only cost me £10.45 from Amazon. Thanks to my dooyoomiles amazon voucher. Although, I did saw the skins for about £7.99 on Amazon before, but the price went ...
...spend extra in buying the Creative Zen screen protectors. Sending them for a refund was the last thing I wanted to do. I did try to fit them onto the MP3 player and yes, I must say it was rather easy. The Mp3 player did not look as bad as I thought it would without a screen protector. The skin did not add a lot of weight to the Mp3 player at all, I could hardly tell the difference and the shape did stay the same as well. The area of the skin that ...

Review of Creative ZEN Skin 3-1 Pack Case MP3 Player

Can Zen Stone beat iPod shuffle ?

Advantages: Price, capacity storage, design, Radio FM, Voice recorder
Disadvantages: Quality of sound, display, some feature not running well

Creative is always make competition with Apple product, and in this case, head to head Zen Stone may get a competitor with iPod shuffle.In pricing, Zen Stone is cheaper than iPod shuffle, but Zen plus look like can't beat iPod shuffle in some features. Creative give a display to Zen Stone and give more storage in it. A display of Zen stone doesn't give something new, sometime a display make me a little confuse. Some feature like folder skip doesn't ...
...Zen Stone maybe enjoying this gadget but in quality of sound and entire function is not excellent. In a mp3 player competition, best quality of sound is important factor. Unfortunately, Zen Stone didn't present a best quality. As an additional feature : Radio FM & Voice Recorder are very useful in a daily use. And a lot format file can be read beside mp3, included wma and drm wma give a good news for us. Buying Zen Stone is a reasonable choice but ...

Review of Creative ZEN Stone Plus Skin Case MP3 Player

Not for skinny arms!

Advantages: Cheap, good looking.
Disadvantages: Wobbly.

...is obviously the area that creative are trying to focus on with the armband. In theory it is a fantastic idea. you just strap you Zen to your arm and away you go, running, pumping iron, whatever you like to do down the gym. But in practice the design is somewhat flawed. Firstly, if you're running low on power on your zen, the light that flashes to warn you of this is covered, so you never know when you will run out of battery when you're exercising, ...
...met when using this is that i have quite skinny arms, so unless i pull the armband extremely tight (ie blood circulation cut off) it wobbles about, and often i find that it will slide down my arm when running and end up at my elbow. This may of course only be a problem I encounter with my thin arms, but I couldn't say. On the plus side, it looks good, is quite discrete, will last a long time as its well made and weighs very little. If you are looking ...
