Serious control problems.......2007-10-14
Like others who've written a review for this mine doesn't work well. You push the buttons as hard as you can and sometimes it works but most of the time it doesn't...it's completely random and it does seem to get worse the longer you're out in the snow.
Never Really Worked.......2007-04-12
Once I opened the box and tried it out the Play button did not work. Only things I could get to work was the volume. After using for about 2 hours the volume stopped working. When it was working you really had to touch he right spot to get it to work, which sucks when boarding down a mountain with gloves on.
Belkin sportCommand.......2007-01-31
Sometimes the button may be hard to push with my gloves on/off, but I just push it again and it works fine... It's no different than my iSkin that's on my Nano, where sometimes i spin my finger on the controls disc and it doesn't work because of the plastic that's on top of the nano controls. As for volume, if you hold onto it, the volume will increase as if you were to spin your finger around the ipod control disc really fast.. I just tap it and it increases/decreases fine. If you pause it, I think the nano may auto-shutoff after X minutes, but you just hit play once to turn it on and again to unpause it. You can just as easily turn off the ipod by holding the play/pause button down. There's no need for a mute button which is when you can just pause the iPod. People asking for shuffle; it's no different than having to manually set your iPod to shuffle mode before you play your songs. The product was advertised as is, and why would people go out and buy it, and assume it has more bells and whistles besides "Play", "Pause", "Stop", "Next", "Back", "Volume Up", and "Volume Down". That's all it has. People ask for too much. As for the cold, I've never encountered the sportCommand freezing on me.. I've tried it at Jay Peak, Stratton, Mountain Creek.. All have been fine from 0 degree weather to 40 degree weather... i'm not the picky type and it gets the job done. That's all that matters to me.
Great Concept and Design, Lousy Performance........2007-01-11
Great idea and the design is really good as well. I love the idea of either a velcro attachment or just hooking it on a loop.
I have now tried it on 3 different iPods. One first generation where it worked poorly at best. When I say it worked poorly, specifically, pushing a button would either not generate any action about 20% of the time, or would over do the action by making the volume turn up endlessly until it hurt your ears and no way to stop it. Or it would just keep skipping forward endlessly. If you paused it for more than a minute or two (i.e. a chairlift ride) you would have to dig out the iPod to start it again before it responds.
On the newer models it worked much better with no reaction remaining at around 20% of the time, but I could stop the endless volume increase or skipping.
I think this will be a fabulous product in the second or third generation when they get these little annoyances worked out. I am still using the product as I like the weatherproof nature, but with this product I need to remove my iPod from my jacket several times a day just to fix the problems of the remote.
I doubt anyone from Belkin ever reads these reviews, but what I would tell them is include a mute button and make it work 100% of the time and you have a great product. As is, it rates fair at best with a new iPod and poor with an older one.
Should have been called the thing that should not be.......2006-12-17
Terrible just terrible, this item just didn't work, it didn't work close to the ipod it didn't work far from the ipod, nothing... and then it did decide to work for about a second and a half, but the button got stuck and the volume just increased to the very top, and since i have Shure e4c headphones i almost went deaf. Anything we tried to do, and all the ipods we tried (3) did not yield any result. This product just does not work!
