Nike releases iPod nano/shuffle armband
Nike - the company who has their own line of flash-based music players - has decided that hell has finally frozen over enough and released an armband accessory for the iPod nano and shuffle. In true Nike style, the armband costs $40 - more than just about any other armband I've seen, but you do get what sounds like Nike-patented "Dri-FIT" advanced wicking materials. You can find the case in Apple's online store, and I also saw it on the shelves of a brick and mortar Apple Store just outside Denver yesterday. If anyone picks up one of these, let us know what you think in the comments.Share

If you have a shuffle, avoid giving Nike more cash and get the iMojo instead. Works great and it's made by a small, independent business rather than a big global conglomerate w/all its attendant baggage. Half the price, too.

One solid piece, no velcro, very stretchy. Dri-fit should mean that it doesn't collect sweat like the MWare SportSuit Convertable I used to use with my 20GB iPod (that thing got to where it stunk). Nice-looking too, I got the black-and-grey one for my black Nano. As far as sizing, go with your first instincts. I have about average arms, not big guns and not skinny twigs, so I went with the M/L. It's a great fit. The material is stretchy (did I mention that already?) so it fits a wide range of sizes.
