Armband for my Ipod Nano
I did a search but really did not come up with alot so I am hoping for some input. I just picked up an Ipod for the gym but the armband I just bought was too small and uncomfortable. My arms are a pretty decent size, around 17, but there has to be some company that makes one for larger arms. Any suggestions guys.............

If you wear underarmor, you can put it between in your pants lol That's what I do. I wear boxer briefs, then a layer of under armor, then my shorts. I place the ipod between my undies and underarmor near my tushie lulz! but it's a 2nd gen ipod nano... don't think it'll work for others...

Chuck, did you do a google search?
I'm not sure if they make armbands for arms that big. You'll definitely have to search around.

My arms aren't as big as yours but I found my Belkin and Dlo armbands to work just fine, and with room to spare.

I have a nike+ one for my 2nd gen nano. I wear it on my forearms for the most part, but it fits my bicep confortably (~17.5").

I work at Apple, check out Belkin, Incase, and Nike. They all have arm band cases you could look at. I can't comment on whether it'll fit, but I know they make them. The Belkin we carry for the iPod Nano has a velcro strap, so it'll probably be your best bet for largeness.

This will not be too much help, but go to best buy and they usually have 2-3 different ones, feel free to try them or buy it and if it does not fit return/exchange it right away. Look for one with the most stretchy elastic and most velcro.

Just get one that attaches to your shorts/pants because you won't find an armband that'll fit well. You're an absolute beast dude

Just keep it in your pocket, like I do.
But if you're set on getting or needing a band, buy a strip of velcro and extend it yourself.

I once tried that... the Ipod fell out and when I put down the DB's from doing flat presses... I heard a 'pop'... and my music suddenly stopped as I felt a tug on my ears at the same time...
...yeah. You can just imagine what happened to my ipod

Though I hate apple, I give props to their (always thought this anyway) tough construction of the ipood as I've dropped it numerous times from sometimes as high as about 3 or 4 feet high.
On a side note, I LOVE the itunes radio section; really awesome!

I think a waist clip would ROCK; do they make those? I see a few dudes at my gym that have them but I don't like talking to anyone and I don't know if they have ipods or XX brand.

Ebay... I remember I bought an armband for 1 cent + 4.99 shipping LOL really cheap nonetheless. Don't use the armband... kinda a hassle. Kept the outside protection rubber though lulz and just do the waistband/underarmor thing.

The DLO Action Jacket seems to be a good fit for me. I is meant for up to 20" arms and though it is a little snug it is comfortable enoughh. Plus it does have a clip so I can go that route as well. Thanks for the input guys

I got one from Best Buy that is like one of those old-school cell phone clips. I just clip it on the front of my shorts and it never comes loose. I had an armband that fit (not quite as big as you  ) yet I still use the clip. Only thing is... when doing squats and few other exercises, you just slide the clip to the side or back of your shorts. Works great.
