An iPod accessory designed for people out for a run, ice skating, or otherwise actively engaged, has been updated to make it compatible with fifth generation video iPods.

Priced at $19.99, the iSnug Armband from Handstands is a lightweight, black, pouch-like carrier that is sealed using velcro. Its compact dimensions of 6.5 x 6.5 x 1 inches means the music player stays safe and secure regardless of physical exertion.

Third and fourth generation iPods will also fit the pouch, and there is a second smaller version included in the price for the iPod mini.

Handstands also manufactures a version of the armband designed for the iPod nano.
