I had been searching for a good quality armband for my old (2nd gen) iPod for a long time and had tried a few, each of which fell apart after a few wears while running. This band is very good - it seems sturdy, it has a facility to keep the cable tidy and it even has a little secret pocket for money or a key(which took a while to find, actually, so it really is secret!). A very good product at a very good price.
