santa brought me a nifty black NANO engraved with "swim bike run." i'm all joyous... any recommendations for arm bands/cases? something that can withstand the mayhem of later season speed work and hot florida generated sweat..

mega thanks

Sorry, can't help.

I never listen to music while out running or riding. I prefer the sound of the wind, the birds, nature and also for safty to listen for cars and other people.

I love this case for the nano. It has a great little belt clip. This keeps it from getting too close to your sweaty body. I also use it while riding. The first time I ever rode with it was on a road that actually has no vehicles allowed. Then I got adventurous (or stupid) and started riding with it on roads with cars. I find vehicle traffic to be so loud that you can hear cars even with music playing. When I ride, I clip the nano to the jersey pocket in the back. If conditions are wet, I put the nano in the belt clip case and put that in a plastic baggy, just to play it safe.

Enjoy your nano; its sweet!

I also got a black iPod nano and have been uploading CDs like crazy. I posted this same quesion in the Lavender Room and got a couple of responses. Another question, how can you remove songs/CDs from the iPod? Do you do that from the iTunes page?

This is the best thing for running with the nano.

I don't see how anyone can work out with a wire coming from an armband. I tried it and found it to be...annoying, but everyone has their preference.

I'd recommend a belt clip type holder, run the headphone wires under your shirt. That's more comfortable to me.

I just got an otter box to protect my nano. Its not the smallest case but it is the best. Waterproof to 1m (3ft) so if you get caught in the rain no problem. Cool design too.

I am beginning to believe you and I are in the minority. I too prefer the sounds around me.

linky doesn't work, but if thats the colored apple nano armband, I have one (got it at radioshack). Of course, my arm size falls right in the middle of one of the velcro patches; it's either too small or too large. I'm thinking about removing one of them...

oh, and it doesn't protect the screen. Again, I'm just assuming your url went to the nano armband.

You manage all your songs via iTunes. You can "uncheck" songs that you don't want to go onto the nano, while leaving them on the iTunes, in case you want them later. You can also create "playlists" such as "workout", "cooldown", etc. that will play selected songs. Play with it a bit. It's pretty managable and easy to work with (like all Apple products) once you get the hang of it.

My house is now a 15g iPod/mini/nano/shuffle household. We're iPod freaks. And it's only my wife and I.

that wasn't the one I was thinking of - wow, I don't imagine that would 'breathe' much...

you're right, $40 is a bit steep

It is Nike Dri-fit, so it is really breathable.

$40 is totally ridiculous, but I got it for christmas , so what the hell. I would never buy it for myself, I am far to cheap for that.

A couple of us have been emailing the link to the otterbox for the Nano today. How big is it? Have you run with it yet? Armband or clip?
