I am looking at getting the mini arm band because I do lots of exersice with my mini. However the 40 dollar (Canadian) price seems a little steep for a belt clip attached to a head band. Is it worth it to get the arm band or is it not much of a step up from the standard belt clip?

I find the Apple mini armband is great for running and the gym. It prevents the earphone cord from getting snagged or tangled in the equipment, and also just keeps my mini out of harms way.

The only thing I find a little fiddly is securing the earphone cord when you first put it on - having to wind it up and secure it under the strap can be a bit of a pain.

Lovin' the pod!:)

Just bought it - haven't tried it out yet but I'm hoping for a secure and easy slide on / off solution for my next run!

I got it a bit cheaper cos of the student discount :)

I use mine when I run and bike, and I would never think of using anything else. Very unobtrusive, and much more secure than the belt clip, especially if you're doing something high-impact.
