I need an armband case for the J3. Will it fit in a ZuneHD case?

I'm looking for a armband case for a J3 that I can go running with. However, I'm having difficulty finding anything except the cheap generic ebay garbage. I did find this case meant for the ZuneHD, and was wondering if it would fit:

The J3 is only 0.13" (3.3mm) wider and 0.04" (1.0mm) thicker than the ZuneHD.

They also sell a Sony Walkman S-series case, which should also be about the same size as well, but I was unable to find any detailed specs on the walkman's dimensions.

Has anybody tried this? Do you think it might fit? Are there any other cases I should try? Thanks.

It's hard to say, i think the best you could do is take your player to a store and test other Zune cases to see if it fits those ones.

Don't know about the Zune armband, but this one fits the J3 perfectly.

The only thing is the neoprene has to be pulled over a bit to the side for the earphone plug to fit. If you know someone handy with a needle and thread, it's easily modified for the J3.
