I found this product to be just the right size to hold my new MiniDisc Player. Its not too bulky and is big enough to hold the player and one minidisc in the flap of the case. Definitely a smart purchase.

I like this case because you can put it around your arm and it stays in place will you are running.

This carrying case is perfect for the gym. I am able to fit my MiniDisc Player, an extra disc, my headphones (behind the extra disc in the flap-pouch), and I slide my gym card behind the MiniDisc Player. Its a snug fit, but it works.
Im a big guy and I have big arms. While it does fit around my bicep (upper arm), I have it around my forearm at the gym and I am able to flex with ease. It fits real nice and comfortably.
The downsides to this carrying case is that its not good for much more. After using it for a few months, it started to smell something aweful which meant I couldnt use it anywhere else. Washing it doesnt help much. While the velcro on the armband doesnt slip off, the velco on the flap closure is worn out and it doesnt close well anymore.
I still enjoy this product with the flaws and all.
I will just have to buy a new one.

I ordered this item because it is annoying to carry around my md player at the gym. I didnt expect a lot from the product - obviously, its not going to be all nice and streamline because the player is pretty bulky to begin with.
Biggest complaint is that the strap is really big if you have a small arm. If I pull it tight enough, the velcro is actually past the point where it sticks. Instead, I fold the strap slightly so that it will work - annoying, but works out in the end.
Dont expect a lot from this product and you will be happy.

After reading all the negative reviews, I was extremely hesitant about getting the Sony MDCASE3. Im glad I took the risk because it performs exactly as I had hoped.Remember, this is an armband case. What that means to me is that its practical for taking it to the gym, but not as good for other purposes. - The velcro band itself is adjustable and fits around my arms just fine. I ran a couple of miles with it and it did not slide up and down my arm like the others have said. Maybe their arms are petite? Im no Hulk but it works for me. I could see it possibly starting to slide a little once you start sweating, but the fabric on the inner side of the band is made of similar material/constitution as tennis headbands, so it should absorb moisture. - The pocket where you place your MiniDisc is large enough to fit your NetMD player. It even fits an older model MD that I own. On the lid portion of the case, theres a webbed pocket for an extra MD. My MDs hold 160 minutes of music and I dont forsee using it to hold a spare disc. I do however, like to put the key to my locker and gym ID card in there. - There is an open slit on one side of the case for you to run your headphones through. But unless you have a remote for your MD, you wont be able to efficiently control any of your MDs functions. One bummer is that the cord length might interfere with your workout, but I remedied that quickly by wrapping the extra cord around the case, THEN closing the lid over it. Problem solved. - The dark gray color of the case looks great to me. I dont think anyone will mistake me for a hospital patient, as one reviewer wrote. For the price Amazon is charging, this case is well worth the price. Now I can enjoy listening to my own music while Im working out at the gym and it makes SUCH a difference for my motivation and enjoyment.

For me, the Velcro strap never fails, slips, or slides. I dont think I have a different case. As for the lack of storage, I think 10 hours is pretty good for a jog/run/bike/rollerblade, or you can just use it as storage for extra batteries.
On a long haul, i.e. road trip, you can just bring the case of minidiscs along with you. If you jog with cargos, you can just throw all the extra stuff (minidiscs, batteries, FM broadcaster?) in your pockets.
Another great feature is the semi weather resistant design. I have been biking in rain, and the water has barely seeped through. An excellent product.

i received this case free with my minidisc player and i am not particularly fond of it. the armband slides around on my arm, with a minidisc in the case it is very hard to close, and cant hold anything else. it does prevent scratches however. if you need a functional case do not buy this one.

This case came with my mini disc player and i was not satisfied at all. the band does slide on my arm. with the one extra mini disc in the pouch i was unable to close it without having it pop open. the one thing i absolutly like about this product is... well... NOTHING. i can however give this case 2 stars because it prevents scratches. finally if there are any recomedations to buy this product, DONT listen to them.

I bought this to hold my md player hoping for some little cast just to not let it get scratched. This isnt the one for that, it holds sony md players and one extra md but nothing else. I wish it would hold more for its size but since I can get over 5 hours on one mini disk, its fine. The arm band works great but its annoying when you dont want to use it. I really does protect your md player well though

I purchased this case for my Sony MZ-NF610 and have been pretty pleased with it so far. The arm strap is a nice feature and stays on well, but I use the case mostly to keep my player from getting beat up in my bookbag. A pair of small in ear headphones fit into the case easily as well as one extra minidisk and the player. Rated four stars because it wont hold multiple disks.

This case came packaged with my MD player, otherwise I probably wouldnt have gotten it. The case is very small, and you can maybe slide one extra MD into the pocket on the flap lid. The velcro strap does fit aroung your arm, but it tends to slide down when moving around.
Frankly, my biggest problem is that the thing looks like some medical device that you would be given if you tore a ligament or something. The arm strap has that unmistakable hospital rental sensibility, down to the terrycloth back. Everytime I look at it I can hear a physical therapist saying "Now, you need to keep this on at least four hours each day, and try wearing it when you sleep, Mkay?"
I do put the player in it when packing it into my backpack or briefcase, but only to protect the player. Try it, see how many people ask how you hurt your arm!

I bought an MD player bought a month ago, and decided I needed a case. I picked this one up, and have not used it. I is very awkward and uncomfortable to where, and my Net MD barely fits in it.
