My boyfriend works out a lot and sweats A LOT, I was wondering if the case protect against all the sweat?

The phone probably won't get wet; but if he is like me, it will probably start sliding down his arm once the back of the case starts getting damp.

I do feel that it protects against sweat. I sweat a lot as well and I only find that my phone is warm when I take it out and not wet or damp. Sometimes it does get a little tricky to remove the phone post-workout, but just a few tugs and it comes out. Hope this helps!

the case is made of neoprene and I'd say it will offer decent protection against sweating. I'd say the only way to be sure the phone is enclosed is to put it in a ziploc bag before putting in the arm band. Personally, with the different neoprene bands i've had, I have never had a moisture issue with the phone in the band. One thing I noticed is that while neoprene is a great buffer against moisture, it will eventually reach a saturation point. in your boyfriend's case, you may find you need 2 bands to allow drying between workouts.

The case should protect against a moderate amount of sweat, especially since it's on the arm. However, if he sweats A LOT, it may not be enough.

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.

Yes, it sweats if you put ice water in it. I bought a neoprene water bottle sleeve to put over it...problem solved! :)

Accidentally hit yes. It is not very water resistant at all. The case has holes for the charging plug, earphones, and speakers, so water can get in very easily. Additionally, I have found that this particular case, for some reason, causes condensation to build up inside the camera lens more easily than other cases I've used while running. I have ended up just using the case (which is silicone and does protect the phone well when dropped) as my every-day case, and hand-carrying the phone when I run. If it's raining, I just put it inside a zip-lock bag (and forego music for that run). Not perfect, but it worked through a half marathon and several 5 and 10k races Accidentally hit yes.

We are sure some customers have used them at the gym, but this model is not designed for that application. There is no sweat resistance on the headphones and the larger ear cushion material may wear down more quickly when exposed to sweat/moisture. Also, in some cases, the volume control and tracking buttons on the cable itself may malfunction if moisture gets inside the control box. For use at the gym, we have the SIE2i headphones (designed for iPhone only).

I work out side everyday all year round and have no problem. However, I dont take my phone out if its going to get drenched. Although I have the Note 3 that is water proof

Hey Debbie! Unfortunately you would have to remove your otterbox case. I remove my regular silicone case when I work out.

I bought this for my wife and she uses in a gym. She sweats, but not so much that the armband would be drenched. Keeps her phone dry for the 30-60 mins we're in the gym. She has yet to use it in the rain. She absolutely loves it.

Yes, I have an iphone 5 and it fits fine but if you have it in a case you may. We'd to remove it from the case. Yes, the armband itself gets sweaty but the phone does not. I am a pretty heavy sweater and I have had zero problems with the sweat getting to the phone. I have used several different armbands and this is the only one that protects my deviceHope this helps

We found it is water resistant for swimming, but not very sweat resistant. Areas where he sweated heavily (middle of chest, around underarms) did get a little bit sunburned on my partner, but we both swam in the ocean and this did not affect the performance of the product at all.

It says you can wear it against the skin....however I choose to wear it over a fitted tank top or shirt...I wear it mostly at night....really tight...and when I wake up my shirt is damp....you are supposed to wear it while you work out or move. I have to say that if you choose to wear it against the skin you will sweat and you will have to wash it...and watch out for the Velcro which does snag some materials.

I think the headphones is no sweat proof.But I don't think you can get it wet while you exercise.And it fix well, so it suit you.

Arm sweat shouldn't be a problem, heavy rain could be another story. The phone sits in a rubber frame with the front open for your fingers to hit the icons. The back is solid rubber. I did run a half marathon wearing mine in a light rain. I just made sure my head phone plug in was facing down and phone was ok. Love this product and highly recommend it!

I don't use a case with my S4 Active, but if I did I doubt it would fit or at least not without a lot of stretching and working it into the case every time you use it. Me personally, I wouldn't want to spend that much effort before and especially after a run when I'm all sweaty.

Depends how much he sweats! I sweat a lot, but I use the rubber protective cover to the Sansa device and with it clipped unto the armband, I have never noticed any moisture problems.

Haven't had any problems with sweat on the controls. What I love about them is that they don't let sweat get in the ears which was always a problem with others I used. I use these about 5 to 6 times a week for working out and have not had a problem so if it was an issue, I would have encountered it. Also the clip is worthless to me since the cable slides and then tugs, therefore I don't use it. Can't comment on the armband since I also don't use it.

I would think so. It has a plastic cover over the face of the phone and the arm band is sweat proof. I've been using mine for two months now. I really like it. Also you can turn the arm band under your arm your arm, or to the side.
