Will the Galaxy s5 fit into this armband with the otterbox defender case on it? The headphone jack is on top, will the phone be inverted in the band?

Probably not. I have the same exact phone and I took my case out to make it fit. I put the headphone part of the band facing towards the top to use the headphones.

No. The armband case is a tight fit for the phone alone. You must remove the otter box case first.

I have the Otter Box Commuter case on my Galaxy S5 and it fits snugly as you'd want it to. The sides are elastic material so I would guess the flip cover would fit fine.

I'm not sure. I can stuff my S4 into the armband while the Otterbox Commuter is still on the phone. It's not a perfect fit but it's still functional if you don't feel like pulling your case off.

It is pretty tight fit without a case. So if your case is bigger, like an otterbox, I would say no but with a thinner case possibly ,but I don't feel the need to have a case on the phone while it is in the the arm band.

My Samsung is currently encased in a i-blason case. It fits perfectly into the armband. If the defender case you are referring to is similar in size and dimension to my case, chances are it will fit

my iPhone 5 is in a defender Otterbox and it fits in the armband case with no problem.

Hi Tak,I havent tried it with the case since I didnt have one in the first place. The arm band is a precise fit for the phone. So it seem like it would not fit. You would have to remove the case.

No you will have to take your phone out of the otter case for it to fit. Actually you will not be able to fit any case with this arm band.

It will fit. I have a regular s5 and there is room all the way around it, especially in the top for the added length of the active; I also have am Otterbox Commuter case on mine. Operating it inside the case shouldn't be an issue either. It isn't perfect so I usually get mine ready before inserting it. Hope this helps.

This arm band is open at the top. It isn't hard to get the phone in or out when it is loose. Strapping it to your arm puts enough tension on it to keep it secure. My wife's phone has the headphone jack on top so I knew there wouldn't be any issue connecting her headphones. If yours is on the bottom, there are three small holes on the bottom that may or may not line up with the jack. The material on the bottom is stretchy so it probably will, but I couldn't say for sure.

No, probably not! It's a pretty tight fit (well, snug, anyway!) so I think you'd have a hard time squeezing it in w/the Otterbox, which I think is a bit bulky...you could always take the Otterbox off, if you were going to go for a jog or something, since your phone would be on your arm, but not having an Otterbox, I don't know how practical that would be...

Not really. I have an S5 and it fits okay without a case, and barely with a slim rubber case. Another problem is that the case covers the earphone jack and you have to wrestle with it to plug it in. I've also noticed that the case is scratching up my frame. It has a plastic leather bottom instead of a soft one. This is a great idea. I love being able to easily carry my wallet and keys without much extra weight. This particular model is just not that well thought out. I'm switching to a standard bar mounted smart phone holder.

No...it won't fit the otter defender case. I don't use this armband because it doesn't fit my otter commuter case and I believe the commuter case is substantially smaller.

the otterbox has a lid that opens, then the armband has holes, one of which matches the area where the headphone jack goes. It's not smooth, actually it seems like the lid will break from the pressure, but it does not. It works, but it feels like an afterthought
