This thing looks corny as hell, but it works. Fits XM MyFi perfectly if you cut a hole for the earphones. Don't buy this to wear on your arm, the MyFi (and I assume any other radio that is similar in size) is just too big for this to work. I'm a pretty big guy, but when I straped this to my arm it just looked ridiculous. It also is uncomfortable and obtrusive on your arm because it bobs around due to it's weight. On top of that, the blue accents are pretty gay looking. It almost looks like a fanny pack. I don't know why they didn't just make this all black. I use this thing primairly on my motorcycle and for that it works great. The XM signal is pretty much perfect using only the MyFi's built-in antenna with the radio on my back under my jacket. This case is very comfortable. I wear it for hours and barely notice it's there. The MyFi's ear buds probably wouldn't work too well on a bike, so I use koss "the plug" earphones. XM 82 "The System" on a motorcycle is a beautiful thing.

I knew that this product would be reliable since I also have a Case Logic case for my digital camera. At first the case is awkward to use, as there is no access to your music player's buttons, and the headphones are too easily disconnected through the top of the case. However, this case package is very versatile. In addition to keeping my Gigabeat safe, I can exercise with the armband. Otherwise, I use the included belt to hide the Gigabeat between two shirts, hence keeping my music with me while leaving my pockets and belt free.

My iPod 20GB (4th generation monochrome) has a silicone skin for protection, but I wanted a little bit more protection for working out at the gym and long walks/jogs. I looked at quite a few "sports" cases, but I was pretty disappointed at what I found. Many of the "sports" cases could only be worn on the arm and the quality/durability seemed questionable. Most felt and looked like they wouldn't last very long (especially if exposed to sweat) and they were more expensive than the one that I eventually purchased. The biggest problem that I found was that I would have to remove the silicone skin to use the "sports" cases. The Case Logic MP3 player case was the first one that I looked at, but I dismissed it. After looking at all the other "sports" cases, I came back to Case Logic. In comparison to the others, it was a perfect fit for me and my iPod. Here are all the benefits or the pluses that I found for Case Logic: 1) It is a perfect fit (like a glove) for my iPod model WITH the silicone skin on. 2) There are multiple ways to wear it with it's easily detachable (but secure) belts for wearing on your arm or around your waist. You can also securily hold it in your hand using the loop or slip the loop through your pant belt. 3) If you use the Case Logic belt, there's a couple of mesh pockets to carry your earbud headphones, coins, and keys. 4) The construction and material appears to be very durable. (A big selling point for me since I go to the gym at least four times a week so it gets a lot of use.) 5) Although you can't operate the iPod with the cover closed, if you have to unzip it to change the volume or change songs, it stays secure because the headphone jack is like a nail that keeps it in place. If you've got a 4th generation iPod, I highly recommend this case.
