Nice product.... just what I want... is to wear my iPod on the back of my neck so some Thug can come up behind me and steal it.

Seems just the thing for someone exercising or jogging. Great idea!!!! Hate those wires slapping me when I am jogging. Gets those wires out of the way. This is a great idea.

As it was stated earlier, this puts the device out in full view so if you're jogging down a busy street or making your way through a crowd, it looks like it'd be simple enough for someone to just snatch it right off.

The concern with your iPod being snatched could be easily solved. All it will take is designing earbuds that work like the security slot for locking your laptop, so your iPod can be anchored securely to your head via the ear canal. Won't that thief be surprised when you he's got ahold of your iPod with your angry face on the other end of the security ear bud cable.

I think you are worrying way too much. With the NekFIT there is no way to get it closer to your body and this way no one can wrap their fingers around it. Not to mention, if someone you don't know is that close to you, I think you would notice before they snatched it. Besides that, this is for the gym not sitting still.

I just got the clear one off their site, it's cool looking and I think it will be better than my armband lifting.

Two "first posts" by two new users who just registered today, evidently just to pump a particular product. Interesting.

ahhh you are just being paranoid, I too have managed to get a fulfilling life in happiness after purchasing this product /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
personally I do not get this product, kind of uncomfortable to wear something you do not control around your neck (and on the back too..). For sports the best thing is definitively the arm wrap... just remember to loosen it if you work out with weights,,,,

Along the lines of your observation, Dan, when one of those new posters precisely spelled it NekFIT I was surprised that he left off the Trademark symbol.
