Nike Armband in the UK???

[Compact]

Does anyone know where I can get the Nike Nano Armband in the UK?

Asked in Apple Sheffield, no joy.
Ebay didn't show much.

Also anyone got any opinions on it i.e has used it of tried it on in a shop?

I actually have been using the black Nike Armband for about a 7 weeks now, and i'm really impressed with the the quality and build of it. I bodybuild and train at least 4 times a week, and i have been using this armband in conjuction with an iSee clear case. With the iSee case on, i can still slide it into the armband, for a very snug fit. My bicep is too big to slide the armband on, so i just wear it on my forearm. I have to admit, i am very brutal during my workouts, and the armband PERFECTLY holds and protects the nano throughout my entire workout. I absolutely love Nike's Dri-Fit material, and have found that it does an admirable job at transpiring moisture away, but on those days that i do heavy cardio and am drenched in sweat, i do notice that when i take my nano out, it is also saturated, but still protected with the help of the iSee case.

The main reason i got this armband is because of its overall comfort level, look and quality. I never liked those two piece armbands, because they never felt comfortable and looked too bulky. The Nike armband is very sleek looking, and when i lift, it looks just like an ordinary elbow support. As far as cord management, i have the E2, and just tuck the extra cord length under the armband itself. Also on the side of the the armband, surrounding the "Dri-Fit" logo, is a reflective material, that's great for running at night. In the 7 weeks of abuse that i put this armband through, the only wear and tear that shows is in the "cracking/tearing" of the Nike and Dri-fit logos on the sides. Other than that they are perfect. The only con would be the front plastic material is only 30% see through, but it is very durable during washing. I don't spend anytime looking at my nano during my workouts, so i don't mind at all.

In all, I would highly recommend the Nike Armband in conjunction with a clear polycarbonate case (to protect it from excessive moisture and the occational bumps). In fact i plan to get a second armband, probably a grey one, just to have a spare one, in case one is in the wash.
