and shipment was great love my armband for working out. i need a lil help getting it on somethimes.
Poor design for a quality Zen unit. lastly, It would be nice to actually see the screen that is covered. I hope Creative comes up with a better armband for this unit. First, the armband is difficult to put on and adjust. Secondly, there is no open slot to turn on and off the player.
This is not the best way to carry an MPA player while working out. By using the holder with the power cord coming from the top, you can at least pause the unit, or turn it on and off. Finally, you have to stuff the rest of the power cord into your sleeve. It is hard to put on the holder. But is better than nothing. Once the arm band is on, you can't do much to start, stop of adjust your Zen. You have to lean against something and fumble to get the right fit. Finally, if you use the hole in the bottom of the little pocket in the holder -- it's there for the power cord -- you will not be able to bend your arm at all.
To look at it, you have to slip it out of the holder which you cannot easily do while it is attached to your arm. Plus, if you need to look at the menu after you have the player in the holder, you have to pull the cord of the earbuds through the hole when you slip it out of the armband, or take the earbuds out entirely.
An open viewing area on the armband, more like the "skins" would have been a good choice, or at least perhaps being able to slip the player out of the armband on the same side as the slot for the earbud. Very awkward design.
I like the way this armband fits snugly on your arm. Therefore, you can't be listening to the player while you are inserting it in the holder.
I am quite disappointed in this design. However, the fact that there is no opening on the Zen armband means that it is impossible to view the menu screen while it is inserted in the holder.
Also, you have to put the Zen in the holder before you attach the earbuds because the earbuds insert into an opening in the closed end of the holder.
you cant see the screen when its in the armband, but you dont really need to when your listeningto 200+ songs on random. works great, slides in the back, you dont need anything else. it has the controls embossed in the front and doesnt quite line up, but its close enough.
