5 Stars Wonderful Fit, comfort
I wasn’t sure from the appearance in the image whether this armband would fit comfortably, but after trying it on and using it in a couple running and biking sessions, I’m absolutely delighted with this product. It is made of soft material that fits very snugly and comfortably around my arm. It doesn’t slip at all. I would definitely buy a Belkin product again if I was looking for another armband.

4 Stars great fit. great stability. one slight problem.
for most applications this product actually worked better than i thought it would. it’s perfect for running and working out if you’re only listening to music. the fit is fantastic, and it stays exactly where i want it on my arm. unlike other reviewers i don’t find the band too small to fit my arm i consider myself a pretty average sized guy arm-wise, and there’s still some room to grow.

i found out that there are actually a couple very handy pouches (one shown in the picture as a red line to hold cash/keys) the other is on the back side of the ipod pocket and is perfect for id, credit/membership cards. these are fantastic.

on the downside, if you have invisible shield or another similar product, the plastic covering the screen does some friction adhesion to the invisible shield, making it tough to get the ipod out. the plastic screen protector also makes it a little tough to cue up specific scenes in videos. rather than the smooth scrolling of the sliding time bar, the video tends to jump around probably due to the fact that the screen protector actually makes more contact with the ipod’s face than your finger would alone. i use the p90x series and i get whooped, so i have to rewind a few seconds to keep up. often this results in going back a minute or two. very annoying. that’s the only complaint. it seems to work fine with other applications (typing, selecting music, etc.). other than that, great product. highly recommended.

1 Star My iphone is ruined
I shopped a long time to find this product. It had great reviews. I did take note that some people were concerned that it appears that the iphone could get wet. Well, I’ve had mine for about a month now and guess what!! Yep, I went on a 12 mile run today and of course sweated like crazy and now my Iphone is ruined. It worked fine during the whole run and even after. I took the iphone out of the arm band and set it on my countertop while I took a shower. When I got out of the shower I noticed my iphone screen was blank. I thought maybe the battery was dead so I plugged in the charger. After charging for about 10 minutes I wondered why it wouldn’t turn on. I then pushed the audio/vibrate button and notice that it did vibrate. So it’s on I thought but I can’t see anything. I called my phone from my house phone and sure enough it rang. The screen no longer works. This product is supposed to be for sports. Well guess what, people sweat when they play sports. Whatever you do, do not buy this product. I’m now out a phone.

3 Stars Kinda useful
Wanted something to hold my iTouch while mowing or working out. This works but is too much work changing it out of the case for other uses (grocery shopping, appointment scheduling, etc). So I find I don’t use it that much. It’s easier to just put the iTouch in my pants pocket when mowing or on the book holder while using an exercise bike, etc. The band size adjustment should make it suitable for any size arm.

I would say this is great if you just want to listen to music while moving about, but is not that useful for other iTouch programs.

4 Stars Armband
I really liked this product. The only problem for ME is that I’m so small it doesn’t fit well on my arm, but that’s more of my fault then the armband.

5 Stars Returning customer.
I originally bought an iKross screen protector for my RAZR phone. It was easy to apply, and covered the entire screen area. I loved it especially because it did not involve an adhesive. It cuts down on glare, it is easy to apply and remove, easy to clean, and does not move once it is applied. I have not had any problems with it so I purchased one for my husband’s phone and it was the first thing I bought for both mine and my husband’s iTouch. I highly recommend it, and feel it is essential product to protect those sensitive screens!

3 Stars They Don’t Tell You Everything
Two major challenges with this or any other similar self-adhesive ipod screen protector products. Assuming you follow instructions to the letter, the result may still disappoint because:

(1) they don’t tell you that you practically need to be in a clean room … any dust collected on the sticking side, however small, means you’ll have a bubble you won’t be able to get rid of. This is compounded by the second challenge,

(2) perfect alignment needs multiple trys … this increase the chance of picking up dust on the sticky side of the protector.

So, if you bought only one protector like I did, chances are very good that you end up w/ annoying bubbles that make you want to throw the protector away.

In summary, either be happy w/ bubbles or you should get more than one protectors so you get multiple cracks at getting this right … then there’s the clean room option.

Just want buyers to be aware. Hope you find this useful.

4 Stars No bubbles
I haven’t tried a huge number of screen covers, but this is the first that didn’t leave bubbles. There is a stiffer plastic on top for application, and if you slowly let the cover down onto the iPod as the glue does it’s magic, there are zero bubbles. I was amazed. It does show smudges a little more than the naked screen, but then again now you can wipe it on anything (even the included tiny microfiber cloth) and not worry about scratching the screen.

4 Stars 4 AND 1/2 STARS rating
FYI (since it seems that different sellers are selling different products under the same product page), I bought this product from AccessoryOne. I’m rating the product 4 1/2 stars because of the confusing description that includes the exact words “Doesnt Not fit IPod Touch 2nd Generation.” Intended wording or not, how confusing can you get with that wording that left me wondering if this screen protector would fully cover the face of my 2G iPod Touch. It doesn’t. If you put this screen protector on your 2G Touch, there is a small rim of space–slightly <1mm all around--on the screen left exposed. If you want the whole screen completely covered, this product is not for you.

BUT here’s why you may not mind the gap:

1) if you buy a case that covers that small gap, you’ll be good anyway.

2) The gap makes it easier to remove the screen protector to clean it and reapply.

This 2nd point is a feature I think I’ll enjoy most about this product. The instructions that come with the product say you can use the space to more easily peel off the protector, rewash it with plain water, let it air dry, and reapply. I think it will work because when I was applying it, I accidentally got some Kleenix lint on it; so, I peeled the protector back more, used a damp cloth to wipe off the lint with no problems and no stickiness, let it dry a bit, then continued to let it fall back onto the screen.

Two other pluses:

!) AccessoryOne quickly mailed this product out.

2) The protector is thick enough to “fall” easily onto the screen with little to no bubbling when applying it.

3) The protector is also thin enough to where you don’t notice it at all (nice and clear) once it’s on, and it doesn’t affect the sensitivity of the screen.

4 Stars Overall Satisfactory Purchase
This was fine for me since all I actually needed was the cleaning cloth since I somehow lost mine. The cover was junk though, it didn’t completely fit it was too small and it was ugly the way it didn’t cover the edges. So if your getting this for the cover don’t the cleaning cloth is good just not nearly as good as the one Apple gave me. The major difference is that Apple’s cleaning cloth actually removes the oil/greasiness from the screen and makes it just as when you first opened it; pristinely clean. The iKross version just moves around the oil but gets up anything other than oil. It doesn’t do anything but give it a buffed look in terms of the oil. You have to use water, unlike the Apple version, to remove all of the grease. I’m satisfied with it overall, it does what I need it to do, plus, I don’t mind sprinkling a little water on my iTouch once in a while to completely clean the screen. May think of getting the 3GS since its’ said to not leave fingerprints etc.

5 Stars Does the Job
The Belkin iPod Touch sleaves fit snuggly around the iPod and provide an extra level of protection. I’m very satisfied with this product.

5 Stars Love these things!
I had one of the more expensive two-toned covers for my 2G iPod Touch, but a dog decided to nibble a corner off of it while I wasn’t looking…my fault! Anyway, I kinda like these better because they’re smooth on the back instead of textured, plus if I dufus it up again they’re super cheap to replace. They keep the back from getting scratched and make it a little easier to hold. I much prefer the way my Touch feels in my hand with one of these on then when it’s naked!

1 Star You will be sorry
I am extremely disappointed with this product. I put this case on my ipod touch the day I bought it, and I have always kept it on. Today when I took it off to change the front screen protector I discovered that the chrome back was covered in small scratches. The purpose of these cases is to protect that finish and mine did not do that at all. Even though I rarely take my ipod out of the house, apparently it allowed small particles to get in between the ipod and the case and cause the scratches. I would recommend something that is a tighter fit, perhaps some hard case.

5 Stars Excellent product, excellent price.
These cases arrived promptly and have the look and feel of the similarly designed Incase model…for half the price! and you get two of them!

I’d recommend this product to anyone looking to protect their iPod!

4 Stars Almost Perfect
I ordered this the same day I bought my new iPod touch. I refused to use my iPod without a case and looked around Amazon for something that would protect my investment for a reasonable price. I was pleasantly surprised to see this case by Belkin going for so low. Plus you get two cases in the bargain. So I ordered it immediately. I got the black and white combo.

The Pros:

- 2 cases for really cheap.

- Very easy to put onto the iPod.

- Fits snugly, and has raised areas where the volume buttons and the sleep button are, so it’s easy to press them.

- Nice wave design on the back, and ‘BELKIN’ is on there too, which in my opinion makes it look pretty cool.

- Its not made of cheap materials. It’s not too hard, not too soft.

The Con:

- Theres no screen protection included. But then again you can’t have it all. At this price, it’s a steal!

Kensington LiquidAUX Auxiliary Car Kit with Remote for iPod iPhone 1G 3G

Pure music, pure control. Compatible with the iPhone and most iPods, Kensington’s LiquidAUX delivers pure sound from any direct auxiliary connection.

The steering wheel-mounted remote control means you have full control of your music–and your vehicle. The dock connector not only allows full access to your music library, but it simultaneously charges your device.

The LiquidAUX is Apple-certified to Work with iPhone 1G and 3G and be Made for iPod.

Installs Instantly
Simply plug your iPhone or iPod into the car kit using a 3.5-mm audio cable, and then insert the kit into your auxiliary port. Within seconds, digital-quality sound will be pumping through your car’s audio system.

Fingertip Control
The steering wheel-mounted remote control is designed to be mounted with the controls on the interior of your steering wheel. The remote conveniently allows you to play, pause, and skip music files with just your thumb, allowing you to keep your hands on the wheel.

Compatiblity
Kensington’s LiquidAUX Auxiliary Car Kit is compatible with the iPhone (1G and 3G); iPod nano (1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation); all iPod generations (1st through 6th); and iPod touch. Note: An auxiliary port in your car is required for the LiquidAUX.

The LiquidAUX is Apple-certified to Work with iPhone 3G.

Support
Backed by Kensington’s two-year warranty, the LiquidAUX also comes with free technical support.

Important Note: Sound Effects
When using an auxiliary device in the car, you might hear a slight buzzing sound, engine noise, or high-pitched whine. That is because your car model has a grounding issue between the audio system and the power socket, which causes a whining or buzzing sound when you drive. This sound is not caused by your Kensington product; however, Kensington has an easy solution. Simply purchase an automotive ground loop isolator for your car that is compatible with a 3.5-mm jack. This simple tool will enable you to use your music in a safe, hands-free environment.

Kensington can provide you with a ground loop isolator free of charge by calling Kensington’s Technical Support team at (800) 535-4242. Please provide the serial number of your LiquidAUX product when you call Technical Support, and the company will arrange to ship you the ground loop isolator.

What’s in the Box
LiquidAUX Auxiliary Car Kit, remote control, and 4-foot audio extension cable.

5 Stars Exactly what I was looking for!
I had an iPod connection in my last car, and after trading it in for a 2007 Mini Cooper, I was determined to get the same set-up for my new car. I did some research on after factory installation kits, but didn’t find many products that fit my specifications. After talking to the dealer, it turns out that after-market kits are difficult to install because of the computer system in the car. But…for about $1000 (roughly $600 parts and $400 labor), they could install one for me that would completely interface with my radio. $1000 being a bit expensive for my purposes, I had given up on the iPod and was prepared to just burn piles of CDs until I found this kit. I’ve taken it for a spin already and all I can say is that it’s great to have all my music at my fingertips again (it’s basic, but I’m still loving the remote) instead of flipping through CDs at red lights!

4 Stars Nice Product
I got this kit for my camry 2010. It works pretty good with my ipod Nano but not quite good with Ipod touch cause I need to set up the touch to play music every time. But for nano, it is very convenient and I do not quite need CD anymore.

2 Stars Neat idea, but poorly realized and poor quality.
This is a very nice product in theory, but the reality is there are some problems which detract from its overall usefulness and quality.

Pros:

1. Remote control is great and I love the steering wheel mount. It attached perfectly to my wheel and has stayed secure for months, even though I live in Florida and we have VERY hot temps.

2. The dock connector is the same size and shape as the Apple OEM dock connector wires, which means I can leave my iPod case on the iPod when connecting in the car. (I had a Monster Cable charger which forced me to take the case off to plug in the car charger. Annoying)

Cons:

1. When car is turned off the charger will pause your iPod, which is correct…. but it will not allow the iPod to enter standby mode. This means that your ipod screen will remain on and comtinue to drain your iPod battery unless you disconnect the charger from the iPod. Very annoying because it means you must locate the iPod every time you park, and disconnect it. One of the primary benefits of this charger is that the remote control allows you to hide the iPod in a glove box or console pocket. But I have been forced to keep my iPod on my dashboard so I can disconnect it when I park.

2. My charger has broken after 4 months of use. The iPod no longer receives a charge while driving and the remote no longer functions. I have serious questions as to the overall quality of this Kensington charger.

4 Stars So far, works good!
I was not too sure about this product, because of the mixed reviews. However, I am glad that i purchased it. It was much cheaper than getting it directly from apple. I have not had any sound issues at all. Some of my songs play louder than others, but I don’t think that has anything to do with the product. The remote control is the only reason why I didn’t give this 5 stars. Just recently it has not been working 100% of the time. I’m not sure if the battery needs replaced, but it seems too soon for that. I really do like the product. No more making CD’s from my playlists to play into my car. I just sync my IPOD and have the music ready to play. If you have an aux unput in your car that allows you to hook this up, then you should really consider it! FyI – I have a Suzuki XL7, and an Ipod Nano 3g, and it works great!!

5 Stars Great product
This product works exactly as advertised and is a great solution for using my iphone in the car. the remote is awesome and works seamlessly. i use this product in an ‘09 subaru impreza, there is an aux jack and cigarette adapter in the center console. this allows me to have 1 single wire.

It works real good, i got it really fast and I’m very happy with it.

1 Star Did not work
I bought one of these adapters and it did have the green dot but it didnt work. I contacted the seller they were nice and sent out a new one without requesting the the other one back. The second one didnt work either so it sent them both back and recieved a full refund.

1 Star Save your money…doesn’t work
Bought this after reading mixed reviews and needless to say it does not work. Didn’t bother sending it back for a refund (because I’ll waste more money on shipping) so I just tossed it in the trash. At first, the adaptor seems like it works but it DOES NOT CHARGE my iPhone 3G!!!! The battery signal shows up on phone and all but again, it does not charge! Hope I didn’t damage my phone. :-/ Spend the extra bucks and save yourself from a headache and buy an adaptor at the Apple store.

1 Star Doesnt work on iphone 3g.
Doesn’t work on iphone 3g. Wasted my money.

Comparing it my my REAL apple charger, i can tell its a knock-off. Liars…
