I really like this whole set-up. The best part: A good nice, sturdy, slim case!
Then you can quickly attach a belt clip! And then it turns into a very good armband too. So you got all situations covered. If you would buy all these seperate, it would be way more hassle and probably more expensive or of lesser quality. And this is a high quality product! All that for almost $20 less than at the Apple store. The sticky screen is good too and you get a little cloth, so they pretty much thought about everything, with one exception.
The problem is that you have too open the case to attach the beltclip and vice versa, if you want to put the flat backpiece back in. This happens by sliding the two piece shell apart/together. So now the problem is that the back of the Ipod touch as everybody knows scratches very, very easily. And you almost always get some abrasive dust/stuff in there, so if you hear a sandy scratching noise it already happened. So to avoid your brand new Ipod getting all scratched up fast, you should be very careful and always clean the shell (if you care about scratches). So Marware would make it a 100% perfect if they also add a sticky film for the back of the Ipod. Other than that I’m really happy with this product.

This is my first armband for my ipod. This system is simple yet tough. I especially like the clip on the back of the hardshell, as it works as a belt clip when I am not running. The price through Amazon was a very good deal.

the shell protector is nice and feels good in the hand, not slippery at all. fit is perfect. I like that it has a flat back option and the clip option. I run and have been using the armband quite a bit for the two months I’ve had it. Maybe 30-40 times already and the feel is comfortable… and more importantly I feel that that iPod is SECURE and not going to fall out somehow… this was a big worry for me when I began using it as I spent a lot on the iPod and was scared of dropping it! Glad I spent the money on this one.

I have had this case for over six months and I run outdoors or in a gym at least four days a week with this. I prefer to wear it over a sleeve of a shirt than directly on my skin, because I sweat a lot and it becomes a little sticky and uncomfortable. The case has held up through some pretty sweaty workouts, and when I pull out my iPod, it is never wet or even damp. I have not gone running in the rain with it yet.
The band that goes around your arm is easily adjustable, and as a 5’5″ female in the average weight range, I have no problems with the fit. The clip part is a little tricky to do the first few times if you interchange that and the armband, but just keep the instructions and use a pen and it will work.
I like that I can use the screen of the iPod touch almost like normal – I just have to press sometimes. The volume button for music is hard to reach because the fit is snug, but you can always press the button twice to have it pop up. They have a little square where the button is, and it is slightly raised so you can feel it. The iPod is a 1st generation, and it fits pretty well. The bottom of the case is a fold-over that tucks into the back, and I have never had any problems with my iPod falling out because it is such a snug fit. You have to line it up pretty closely so that you can put the hole for your headphones (which is on the bottom of the case) in line with the iPod hole.
The clip is alright, I don’t like using it for running because it doesn’t hold as well as the armband does. I have dropped my iPod a couple times and the case has been great – no damage.

Love this!!! I got this for Christmas after looking at it in the Apple store for my itouch 32GB 2nd G (I think this is my favorite present). I tried it out this morning at the gym and was really disappointed when I started jogging and it kept skipping songs every few seconds. I was pretty sure that the itouch shouldn’t skip based on the type of technology it uses so I called technical support and it turned out a “shake to shuffle” feature was enabled that was causing the issue. Thus I pronounce this product amazing! The armband is comfortable and the clip feature is amazingly secure while still being really quick to release your ipod from the armband. I’m going to leave the clip on all the time I think. The clip works great as a balance/back support in my player system without the insert in it. The case is super slim and sturdy feeling and it also came with a nice screen protector. My only concern is finding a car charger player that will hold it with the clip in place. I am planning to try the Griffin Roadtrip with Smartscan because it looks backless so the clip shouldn’t interfere.
