Hello. I like to use my Iphone when I go running but the previous armbands I had did not protect agains sweat. Is this armband sweat resistant?

I'm a big sweater so sometimes the back of my phone is a little moist but other then that, yeah.

i live in Nevada and it gets pretty hot here..i play tennis for hours with this armband and my phone stays dry. I read a lot of reviews about it..especially regarding dampness and many runners agree! Hope this helps :)

Yes I use this armband when I bike. I do about 15 miles and sweat up a storm and my iPhone stays nice and dry!

Hey man. I've used it several times, longest run was 15k (around 7-8 miles). Even though it does not specifically states it is sweat resistant (which it should anyways), it has kept my iPhone 5s completely dry, and I live on Costa Rica which might not be that hot in San Jose (17-28 celcius) but it is humid. Even with that, it has kept my phone dry and in perfect condition. Hope this helps.

Just to add another confirmation here, this armband does protect against sweat soaking through. I have run with it in 100 degree plus heat in the humid summer of Charleston, SC and my phone stayed dry. Can't say that for my Belkin armband.

I guess it depends on how much you sweat, I have used it 4 times now, about 4-5 miles each time and not had any issues with sweat.

Don't get it wet...period! Sweat from your ear will drown your phone. No water resistance rating or if you really need a rating it classifies as a BIG Zilch!

Not waterproof. The front is a little shield piece of plastic The band itself is just elastic material. If your have a case on your phone (it will fit but it is tight) that should be your sweat protection.

I wouldn't consider myself a heavy sweater, but after running 3 miles wearing this band it was completely soaked. My other arm wasn't even that sweaty which leads me to believe that it is more the band causing me to sweat than the running. The armband was soaked through to my phone, which is not good.

I just got the band, so I have used it only once while running. I ran for three miles pretty intensely and my phone was not wet at all afterward. I would strongly recommend the product.

Yes, absolutely . in first instance when I' bought this armband was with the intention of protecting my device from water damage but definitely was a win win when I' star taking for jogging . Thanks

Yes it should be fine. I am guessing you are worried about it being damaged by the sweat. I have not had any issues with it when I work out and sweat or even when I use it around the pool or water. So it should be fine.

Absolutely! The volume buttons are very easy to reach and control, plus, the touch screen isn't covered by any plastic, making it very easy to use the iPhone as per normal touch screen usage. The arm band cones with a screen protector but my phone already has one on it, so the protector was nice but unnecessary. This arm band is fantastic! I've jogged with it and it stays in place, as well as the rubbery shell protects the phone from sweat from your arm. It is easy to insert and remove the phone. J think you'll enjoy this case; it's the best one I've found so far. However, you need to remove your normal case before inserting this phone into this band, to ensure a snug and secure fit.

I have had mine for a while now and have experienced problems a few times. I've found that if I wear my iPhone on my right arm while running they work better than if my phone is anywhere else.

Fits my 5S with space - cases in completely, so phone is protected. Armband is short, does get a little sweaty on a long run on a hot day (but not bad). The waterproofing is great... each time I take my phone out after a sweaty or rainy run, I am amazed that my phone is unaffected. I use a softer armband for short, sunny runs. This armband is my definite go to for a hard workout and on those rainy days.

I use it while I am running, with the included wristband. It gets a little wet from sweat, but I am careful to take it off quickly after I am done. I have been using it like this since November 2014, with no problems. YMMV

I have not had that problem, and I tend to sweat quite a bit (literally dripping after a couple of runs while visiting FL last month). The band's material is pretty substantial, so I don't think moisture can get through it from behind your phone. Sweat could potentially come through the opening at the top, but I still think it's unlikely.

No, it is not waterproof/sweatproof. Like the other person said it can hold some sweat, but if you sweat a lot your phone will more than likely get wet.

during the half marathon I just ran I saw people wearing the armband on their forearms and wrists. if your headphone cord is long enough that it's comfortable to wear on your wrist, you'll be fine!

Yes. However it only worked a limited amount of times before it died. I think in my case I used it for running and it was not sweat proof.

This helps keep the moisture out a little bit. If you sweat profusely your phone will get wet. The arm band is really small

Thew velcro works really well. It takes a hard deliberate pull to get it off your arm. Jogging is no problem. I wear it riding my bike, so up and down hard bumps, and it doesn't budge. I wear my iPhone attached to my arm now to meetings, when I'm driving as well as working out. I no longer put my iPhone down on a table or car seat and have to worry about forgetting it. I think this thing has become part of my arm. It comes in black or white now. The black is less noticeable.
