My son works construction. He sweats a lot, will the armband protect player from sweat, & will the case protect the SD card opening?

I don't know for sure about th arm band but the case has the SD card opening completely covered so it should be protected. The only exposed areas with the case on are the USB connection slot, volume button and the screen. Overall this unit with the case is pretty airtight in my opinion.

hello. it should, but consider a more enclosed armband to protect against dust etc in that environment.

The arm bad is of a heavy nylon material, i suspect it will cause more sweat! I purchased this case for just this, yes it protects the SD Card opening. For the price, and the case it is a reasonable purchase.

I don't use the armband, but the case shields the SD card opening and is immune to sweat. It's well worth the money.

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.

I recently purchased this item for my Galaxy S2 (Sprint) and it is definitely not waterproof. I did a 5 mile run outdoors and the inside of the case became a bit foggy and the cell phone was damp when I removed it from the case. I don't know if the armband would fit an average size male's arm comfortably.

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.

I bought this for a friend. I am told he removes the protective case before placing it in the armband.

The snug factor really depends. Upon opening the package, it will tell you the best places to put the armband for use. At 6'2 240, the armband is not wearable unless you have an extender. The edges will not depress the buttons, on the front or on the side. The phone fits "like a glove" and is easy to change songs and raise/lower the volume. However this item is like all other products, if you sweat a lot you will saturate the "Gear Beast".

I have found that between the fabric of the band and the silicone of the cover, sweat really isn't a problem. I have had this for almost 2 years and have had no damage to my phone.

Hi Wendy, I go to the gym at least twice a week here in Maryland and use the Belkin Armband all the time. There is a slight bit of moisture on my nano when I'm done, but it has not harmed the nano to this point. However, the conditions you are running in, I would probably use a plastic 'baggie' over top of the armband as I personally do not believe it would keep the nano dry over time. Again...just my obervations and opinion. Hope you are doing well. chuck

I would only wear this during light rain. Sweat builds up on the arm band and some moisture builds up inside the case but its not a big deal. Its worth buying for the price. I use it for my Galaxy S4.

The front plastic screen provides a shield against liquids, however the surrounding mesh does absorb moisture. I do not recommend intentionally running in the rain with this armband.

Sorry, I don't use a sports arm band. I do like though how this case protects my phone from the elements (water, dirt, dust etc.) which I think would be a plus.

Hi, i think yes, because i play volleyboll and after every game i have sweat, first i put this protect patela after knee pad together, so is ok!!! ;)

Maybe a light shower; but not a hurricane. I've worn mine everyday to work out, and sweat to the EXTREME, while the arm band was always soaked my phone was never wet. I just think too much rain (coming in a downward direction) would get through the top of the arm band (the location where the headphone plug in is)

It claims to be sweat resistant. There is a small door on one ear piece which covers up the micro hdmi charging port. I think you'd have to immerse the headset in water to short it out.

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.

Yes. I put this player in an armband when I go running. (I think most armbands would have more than enough space to accommodate this player.)

I don't belive so. Opening for phone to go into and for earphones. Outer part may be water resistant.

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.
