Belkin Sports Sleeve For iPod mini Protective sleeve MP3 Player

You can pick this up now for around £7, I got mine free with the IPod when I bought it but to be honest mine has a clip on the back of the IPod so this protective sleeve is hardly ever used.

You can pick this up now for around £7, I got mine free with the IPod when I bought it but to be honest mine has a clip on the back of the IPod so this protective sleeve is hardly ever used.

The band itself is made of rubber, it feels comfotable to wear and is very lightweight, the rubber band adds little to no weigh to the actual IPod itself. Because it's made of rubber it also ensures that the IPod is protected against it being dropped, dinged or scratched as much as possible. Of course the screen part is always visable so if anythings going to get broken whilst using it, its the screen, which is probably the worse part to get damaged.

The IPod slips safely and securely into the rubber sleeve, which holds it tightly. The band keeps your iPod screen and controls visible and they are still very easy to use when the IPod is in the band. This is the general idea, none of the buttons or controls are covered and neither is the screen. You can still see the general shape and colour of the IPod so it takes nothing away from the IPod's look.

The band makes a pretty good portable system, perfect for jogging, walking, working out, biking, even dancing!.

It also has a swivel clip which allows 360 degree motion for maximum comfort on your person, and easy access to the IPod screen and controls. The 360 degree motion keeps the iPod in place on your belt, and you are also able to detach it with the push of a button. The swivel clip is detachable if needed.

Near the top are these cutouts in the band itself which allow access to headphone port and hold button. The headphone port is easy to use you just plug the headphones straight into the hole. The one i found more difficult was the hold button, i had to pretty much dig my finger right in there to press it, which wasn't easy and made it feel like if you pressed it too hard the whole band would fall off your belt, arm or wherever you have attached it. You can also hang the mini from your neck using a lanyard which comes with it. This felt even less safe to me.

What's Included: IPod sleeve, armband, swivel belt clip, lanyard, easy to read user's manual.

If your going to be doing a lot of workouts using this, or you would take your IPod along with you on runs or something then at this price I don't think you can really fault it. Having the thing hanging from your arm can take some getting used to, and the first time I tried it i was worried that whilst running the band would just fly right off. I've also used it on the bike and fund that the belt can be attached to the handlebars with some creative thinking.

I don't take my IPod out of the house that often, and it can still be used in the home to prevent damage if your prone to that a lot. Personally I clip my IPod to my belt so i don't use it so it wouldn't be worth the £7 to me.
