Ipod armband suggestions

I've committed to doing 1 run a week outside, but found a problem with not having a pocket for my ipod. I've only done one outdoor run so far and sticking the ipod down the waitband of my jogging pants didn't go well.

Any suggestions for a good, non-slip armband for an ipod touch?

argos sell a strap which fits round your arm with velcro. :)

Got mine of amazon after reading the reviews on there. Its a Belkin and I paid £4. This is actually my second one as I lend the first one to my brother in law while on holiday with them and he was so impressed with it that I gave it to him :-)

I got one armband from sports direct £3 and one from eBay £3. They're slightly different in that one gives full coverage in the rain and the other is easier to get my iPhone in and out of whilst running.

Tesco do an adjustable arm one for just over £3 - It would hold an ipod touch snugly - I get my ipod nano, phone and even a car or house key in there on occasions!

I've got the armband from sports direct (the karrimor £3 one), and it's fantastic as it's waterproof, but it's a devil to get to your phone on your run. It's fine if you don't have to touch your ipod/phone for the entire of your jog, but it's a right phaff if you need to get your phone out mid run.

However, upon saying that, it's waterproof and it certainly hasn't failed me yet!

Thanks everybody, some good options to investigate, not expensive either. Glad I didn't take up skiing or polo...I can get myself running accessory treats to keep me going without breaking the bank.
