This product is a complete bargain, but could do with a little advice on how to use it.
1/ I wouldn't go swimming with a new Nano in it. However, for my old shuffle, it is perfect.
2/ Remove the lanyard, unless you are just paddling, or walking on rainy days. For swimming it gets in the way and is potentially dangerous.
3/ Put the pouch on a lightweight nylon belt like the sort supplied with walking trousers
4/Put your MP3 player in the pouch backed by a little folded kitchen roll. If a couple of drops get in (happens occasionally after long immersion, or nylon zips not properly closed), the tissue will absorb them, and they won't destroy your MP3 player. (Make sure the controls face outward!)
5/ Gently push air out of the pouch and press along the innermost nylon ziplock seal. Make sure it is engaged along the whole length. Repeat for other two seals, and fold over top until tightly held by velcro.
6/ Clean your ears before use! The headphones go in a long way, and .... well you know...
7/ Once you're ready to swim, clip the belt on with the pouch over your outer right bum cheek (if right handed), and route the headphones up your back and into your ears from behind (sounds weird, but it works)
8/ Tuck excess headphone lead under your belt at the back. You want enough free to let you move your head (especially if you are breathing at the side), but don't want loops to drag and snag.
Swim!
The sound isn't fantastic, and of course the water makes a lot of noise around your head, but I found I could swim longer and harder listening to my favourite sounds.
If I hadn't had to work out the above, I would have given this product 5 stars. However, for the price, and the banishment of boredom whilst swimming, it definitely earns 4.

As a former pool lifeguard there's no way I would let anyone in the pool with something like that dangling round their neck. The cord is big enough to go round the waist though, which is a little safer. If your local pool would let you wear it then buy it. It really is fully waterproof and you can just about work the MP3 .... if you know where all the buttons are. It's really difficult to see the screen but I just select my album before getting in.
It's better to use with an armband than using the cord. In fact it would be better if it was easier to secure the bottom of the pack with an armband but there's no real effective way to do that. A small armband fits in the top OK though. However, these really are small gripes and I would definitely recommend this rather than really crap waterproof MP3s that are out there as, no one really has anything good to say about them, and they cost the earth whereas this is only 4 pound something.
It is important to buy a good set of earphones though. But that's another story.

It seams to protect the iphone well, but the headphone controls don't work when using this product.
Otherwise is good.
