I'm looking for a simple armband for my 5G iPod. I wish apple just made an armband that would fit my 5G iPod thats exactly like the nano one. Anyone know of something similar for the 5G iPod?

Just a side question...is it even comfortable to go running with a 5G iPod on your arm? Would it be too heavy?

Running with a HDD is not the best of ideas, Apple have really moved away from associating the regular iPod with running (look at the Nike deal, it's nano-only).

That being said there are a number of manufacturers who make such products, check out iLounge.com - they have an extensive accessories list and links to most companies.
 
there arent many out there but you could try the Handstand iSnug Armband. I wouldnt think that the 5G would get in the way, mine seems pretty small and thin. If i was a runner i would probably buy an armband.

Wow, only $9 at amazon. I was expecting to spend at least $25.
 
run with it, it will break. It has a regular hard drive so bouuncing it is bad. I'd say buy a refurb shuffle if you want an exercise music device
