Speck Products has announced its new SkinTight Armband for the iPod Shuffle. The $24.95 armband features an adjustable velcro strap and a shatter-proof ABS plastic cradle that works with an included rubberized skin. It also has earphone cable clips to keep excess cord out of your way.
“The SkinTight Armband and included SkinTight Rubberized Skin provide you with the freedom to run, bike, walk, or work-out with your Shuffle iPod,” says Speck. “Slip your iPod into the SkinTight Skin and snap it into the armband for a secure, comfy and hands-free way to enjoy your iPod and favorite music.”

How large can your arms be for this armband? I paid $30 for Apple’s armband, then found out it’s only good for people with arms 12-17 inches around. Being an active, gym-going iPod owner, my arms are well over 18” and growing. Armbands are convenient, but the ones on the market today are all way too tight for my gym friends, and I (all iPod owners).

I’m ordering one as soon as I can.
I dislike the Apple armband since it doesn’t protect the shuffle from sweat.
My shuffle usually starts pausing itself after one hour of being drenched in sweat and the Apple armband has no protection for the shuffle.

I would love to get one of these, but I perfer brick and morter stores vs. e-stores (I am quirky that way) and can hardly find anything that is advertised here. Talk about frustrating, but I am definately interested in these.
