Only half of what it could be
To be fair, it does protect the mp3 player like it is designed to do. I have had the mp3 player fly off the treadmill multiple times. (Because I wasn't using an armband).
The problem is, I'm a minimalist. I don't want a big clunky leather armband. My Creative Nano had a silicone case that hugged the player nicely like this one does. But it had a hook molded into the silicone so you could attach it to a provided velcro band.
To me, putting this on a band would sell to the minimalists like myself and those that want to manipulate buttons while running/working out. (The clunky leather armband gets bad review for button use).
Although it works as designed, I have to give it a low score for two reasons.
1. Because it could be a great product with one little addition.
2. I know others have voiced the same concerns to Sony two years ago and they have not addressed the issue with the newer models.
