Ive found the armband to be a very useful item. My Zune fits right into it, no problelm. The holes at the bottom to allow for the earphone connection are in the right place and are the right size. The protective covering is thick and it is a little hard to push through it, but the interactive screen on the zune responds nicely. The strap is wide enough that it doesnt feel like its cutting into my arm. Ive used it on several different machines at the gym and while running, hiking and mowing the lawn. I cant say its perfect. Its a little ugly. Its actually somewhat oversized for the Zune. But basically, it does whats needed.

First, the good...
The strap is the easiest to adjust when running of all the armbands Ive owned and its comfortable.

The cons are that it is porous on the back side, but not on the front, so moisture readily accumulates on the face of the clear plastic area and the Zune is covered when I take it out. It definitely needs some more ventilation area. The unit does not fit snuggly, so you have to wad up the armband or dig around to find the buttons you need or to plug your headphones in.

For the price, it is serviceable.

This great armband fits the zune, zune hd, touch, iphone, and all ipods well and is one of the best armbands on the market.

Cons-
For starters, it is not specifically designed for the Zune HD. It is just a generic armband for any cell phone or MP3 player. That being said; with a touch screen like the Zune HD, the clear plastic interferes with what you are trying to touch because it wrinkles up due to the excess plastic. So you end up touching other parts of the screen when pressing down if the clear plastic shifts positions. This means I usually end up pulling the player out of the armband to change songs or functions. This is extremely annoying if you are on a jog. If you have a regular Zune or any MP3 player with physical buttons, it will work just fine. The arm band itself could be a little more comfortable but not bad. Before my original Zune died, I had a Belkin armband. The Belkin was 100% neoprene and very comfortable. Unfortunately they havent made one for the Zune HD yet.

Pros-
It does have a large armband. For the most part, as far as I am concerned, all armbands are made for children and women with smaller arms. Im not a large guy, (6ft, 200lbs, average build), so its frustrating to find an armband that fits the player and my arm. What sold me on this product was the large armband (8-20in) and the fact that it has an extra flap to hold onto the extra headphone cord.
