Is this band really sweat proof? Will my phone stay dry? I currently have a neoprene band and it does not stop any sweat from getting on my phone.

Yes, its not 100% sweat proof but I ran when I run around 12 miles in the heat there was a little sweat on the phone at the end of my run and nothing significant, but way better than the neoprene. I would recommend it if you're trying to protect your phone. I use it every time I run and sweat wise it does its job.

I only run a couple miles a few times a week. It works fine for what I need it to do. So far no sweat has leaked through.

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, it really is sweat proof. My arm may sweat a little under it, but my phone stays bone dry.

Looks genuine. I had the same type of screen and bands. Great tracker but not as water resistant as it said. That was kind of a bummer.

I think a phone would be safe in light drizzle for a short time; however, after that, I would be concerned for the safety of my phone. I've been satisfied with this armband for the most part, but it is what it is--a cheap arm band.

I'd say you're safe as long as you have the openings facing down. I'm in the Washington DC area (humidity central), and my nano 5G in TuneBand just died from sweat exposure. I'm blaming myself, tho, b/c I had the holes facing up my arm. Getting another band now for the 7G I just ordered, so I def have confidence in it. Fantastic setup otherwise.

I place my iPhone with the otterbox inside the band and have not noticed any sweat or moisture getting to the phone. I have also jogged in he rain with his armband with no issues.

This is straight from Jawbone's website: "Your band is rain, splash, sweat, and shower-resistant, but we recommend taking it off before swimming." However, you could still time your swimming with the band and then enter the date about the activity and exertion level.

Sometimes I take mine off to shower and sometimes not, yes water can get into these AND the Fitbit bands. Don't delude yourself into thinking the 'brand bands' do not have this issue also because they do. The bands are not waterproof, nor resistant. You have to care for your tracker. The trackers are waterproof, submerged in water up to 10 meters of depth. Thereafter no. If I notice water in mine, I take the tracker out, dry it well and then smoosh tissue up into both chambers to absorb excess water. Then I take a Qtip to both ends to make sure I have all of the water out. I've had mine for four months, LOVE my Fitbit and this works for me.

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!

Yes, You can absolutely wash it in some sudsy water in the sink to get the sweat out of it. If you wear it in the rain, your phone is protected from getting wet unless you were in a typhoon or something.

Good question!I've never had any problems with sweat causing any malfunction.I live in the tropics of Australia, hence I'm sweaty most of the time.So I would say the headphone is water proof.Hugh

If I was very active it did sweat. But I have yet to find one that does not sweat.

Should be fully functional u may have to put your phone in upside down?Can text thru the plastic screen like it's not even their. For $2 bucks the arm band is worth it. Although you might not need it? It's a great case for working out with.

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.

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.

I've run with it in light rain a few times and it has been fine, but I wouldn't call it waterproof. Ive been running in 90+ degree temps and sweat hasn't been an issue for me. There isn't a lip that folds over the device once it is in the pouch or anything so its open on top. Hope this helps!

The headband does stay on but it slips around from time to time and the ear phones have to be placed over the ears again. I tried it one time with the alarm on my phone set to wake me in the morning and it did work well. I have both the dry fit and the fleece headbands and the fleece does not slip around like the dry fit but it can get quite warm.
