They must have fixed the problem with the 2nd Generation ipods not fitting because mine fit perfectly without any stretching or tugging. This is great for running/exercising. I was able to figure out how to make it fit my wrist (6.5") without cutting it or having any extra overhang. I am very pleased with the quality for the price! The case is neoprene with a clear plastic window. The strap is nylon (I think).
