I have owned/used this for over a year and a half and it continues to work well.
Pros:
- armband is 1.5" thick so there is enough area so that it doesn't slip
- armband is very elastic you can easily adjust the amount of pressure/compression to your arm as well as it will fit large arms with comfort.
- jacket is detachable so you can just use the armband by itself if that makes sense for you. I have not really used it alone.
- jacket size is very snug to the ipod
Cons:
- as mentioned in other posts: it is difficult to turn the shuffle off/on or put it into shuffle mode. minor issue
- there is no place put the excess cable of the headphones and therefore I need to wrap the excess around the elastic band. Even with the cord wrapped around the armband here is no comfort issue here, it feels pretty uniform on your skin throughout.

I have just ordered the Tune Belt for someone else (and me to check out :) and although I have not used it in practice yet, there are some obvious differences.
-Armband is 1" thick and NOT very elastic. max 13" in circumference with stretch to about 18".
-Jacket is sewn on the armband such that the closing flap of the jacket is against your skin and therefore might cause irritation from all the bumps/seams.
- whats good is that it does have a place to put your excess headphone cord.

I use this to hold my shuffle while I run. Works very well. But the on/off switch is very difficult to toggle. The neoprane material that holds the shuffle is fairly thick so it's difficult to determine if the embedded switch is on or off. I just cut a whole in the bottom of it, though, so that I have access to the switch and it works perfectly. While it's not a big deal, my shuffle also doesn't fit exactly in the case so that the clear circle opening can fit perfectly over the circular controls. I think it's because at the seam of the neoprene case on the inside, there's a little extra material that doesn't allow the shuffle to fit perfectly. The controls are still easy access and this doesn't cause much difficulty, though. Overall, this product works well for me as I expected.

I like the idea, but turning the shuffle off and on can get difficult when the switch is covered by the jacket. I end up taking off the jacket to turn it off and on.

I workout regularly and have tried different products that did not meet my expectations. This one has been the best by far.

Am I the only one wondering why you would even think of buying a armband for the 2g shuffle?
I mean, not only is the size of it so small you could easily fit it in any pocket. But it also has a built in clip to clip it to anywere without it falling out. If you have to, clip it onto ur headband (and save $25) but your belt is the perfect place, you could even clip it onto your shirt if your lying around the house without pants. Not even mentioning how much of a dork armbands make you look. I see no point in this product unless you seriously broke the clip off which isnt that easy to do.
