Looking through Amazon and the likes I have come to the conclusion that there is not in existence an armband for this device that does not suck.
Additionally, it seems that your choices are limited to armbands that fit so snug that people are barely able to get the device in there by itself, let alone wrapped in a case.
Which brings me to the point of this thread; can anyone recommend an armband that sucks only a little bit, fits larger arms, and that I could use with my iphone wrapped in a capsule neo?
Thank you!:laugh2:
The reason they fit tightly is so that the device doesn't fall out. I highly doubt that you'll find any kind of arm band that would fit a cased iphone. If you do though, let me know.
I always use my nano and the Nike armband when I go running. It's super light weight and the Nike cases are very comfy. SwitchEasy would probably make some money if they did offer a Neoprene arm band. Especially if it had somewhere to tuck extra headphone cable that wasn't right up against your skin.

Mech,
Thank you for the response.
I understand and can appreciate why they design these to fit so snug. However, with the cheap construction on most the force required to insert and remove your phone obviously takes a toll.
I kept looking a little more last night and ended up finding a review that confirmed the Belkin sports armband with FastFit would just barely fit a capsulerebel and I assume the capsuleneo as well. You can view the original thread here: http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-553570.html
It is a shame there are no better options as the demand obviously exists. As it stands now it looks like I will be purchasing the Belkin and giving it a whirl. I will let you know how things pan out.
Yeah that Belkin case looks pretty nice! Did they ever offer support for the Nike+ipod for iphone?
