More than you pay for - and not in a good way, 2008-01-31
The basic idea of the armband is good. It was a bit fiddly to put on - but I expected to get better with practice. However, the first time I wore it at the gym I came out in a rash on my arm. In case it was a coincidence, I tried the other arm. Another rash.
It's actually very difficult to get in touch with Creative - not that I'm sure they can do anything. I'm assuming it's an allergic reaction - although I suspect the material just doesn't let the skin breathe. As would have thought people would want to use it at the gym, I would have thought the choice of material was important. (Or maybe it is just me!)

I bought this with my Zen a while back and found it to be a total pain. It is difficult to get on although once it is on it is solid. The big complaint is that you cannot see the screen at all so if you want to change album etc you have to take it out which basically involves taking the whole thing off!
Very poor design considering what is out there for the ipod.
Give it a break, it does what it says on the tin and it does it well, 2008-06-19
It is a little difficult to get your MP3 player in the case, granted but once in, it is very secure and the buttons are still very easy to operate.
It is a shame you can't see the screen, but people seem to be forgetting that if you are running, or at the gym that it is fairly unlikely that you will want to look at it if you are really concentrating on your exercise... most people set up a playlist before they start jogging or whatever...
I have not had problems with the armband slipping but it is gently fiddly doing it up. I have had many armband/mp3 players before and this seems to be no different. The problem is that you can only do it one handed and that isn't a problem that will ever go away. Very well made and finished. Worth a purchase if you, like me, need your mp3 player to help with concentration with your sport.
Fiddly To Use, 2008-02-23
The ZEN armband is a neoprene band with a velcro patch to secure it. However, holding it on your upper arm and tightening it is a challenge which every time I think I have succeeded my run proves I haven't as it slips slowly down my arm. The case has indentations where the controls are with symbols and if you have set up what you want to listen to then it works well but one slip or extra press of the button you will be listening to another album and you will have to take the player out of the holder to reset. The band is well made and finished off but it could have done with just a little more thought.
