I LOVE the key holder (a reasonably sized slit in the band where you can slip your key in while you jog, etc., which was a consumate issue for me). I don't have to wrestle it to get it out at all, so ease your mind there. My motivation to get it was I'm a formity type buyer, when I bought my Zune 8G I was dissapointed there was no sport band for it. The only thing I can't "defend" is the USB cable connection while in the sleeve. What the reviews said was that it was "small", that it was not durable, that it was difficult to get in and out of it's sleeve, that the touch pad did not work, and that you could not leave it in the band while charging. I've actually got to remember to lock it,cuz it works so well. I'm a 27 y/o former division one athlete, who keeps himself in good shape. But I'm confident that it's not going to come out of the sleeve, which is important to me.
As far as getting in and out of the sleeve, i do it often, as I plug it in to the auxilery adapter in my car, every day, and have no issues. Well, that's my thoughts, i'm fully satisfied, and think you will be too. I don't know why this would be an issue for anybody, as it's not for me. A year agod I switched my life from Mac to PC (yes i'm a PC).
I run several times a week, use this while at the gym, and use it while spending hours on the driving range and putting green, and it doesn't bother me. I was almost shying away from buying it, and then I found it on Amazon for a really great price, so I went for it. Well regarding the small accusation, unless your Hulk Hogan I think you'll be fine. I mean if your a gorilla who has trouble using your opposable thumb, it might be difficult. Though, to me this is totally a non issue. I take it out often as said, and don't like to leave the Zune in the armband so the who thing has an opporutnity to air out. I've experienced no issues regarding the touch pad while in the sleeve at all. It's true that you can't plug the USB cable in to charge it.
I've never been one who submits product reviews, however, oddly enough I do research them before buyting something. Regarding the durability I've not had an issue at all, it still looks to be brand new. On this particular product I read the reviews before I purchased this product, and it seems that there is a lot of mixed feelings over it. It's snug, but certainly not uncomfortable. and the Zune was part of that change over. I could have bought a different sports band, but waited, as I knew it would not be long before this product existed. A.
I absolutely cannot remove my Zune from the armband once its in, it takes 1-15 minutes of struggling and working it out.The band did fit very well though.
It is just alright. Difficult to wrap the cord around, and the neoprene band is so thick.
Poor quality. I bought this armband as a gift, and within the 1st week, the glue came off the velcro and the band. We didn't want to hassle of returning the item, so we just glued the bands together ourselves.
The controls work well through the plastic cover. If you have large arms you will need to be creative in placement. I really like the armband. The one real negative to me is that you have to remove your zune in order to plug in the charging/sync cable.
