Does this armband protect the Nano from heavy sweat? I live in a hot and humid climate.

As far as I can tell in the 'frigid North East', yes. The case to hold the nano covers the top edge completely, and between the case and the armband, it is well sheilded from the back. The openings for the power and ear-but ports are wisely on the bottom. But then, I'm not in the south, so my judgement might be less than what you need?

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 sweat a lot when I run my longer runs. It held up just fine. I live in a dry climate so I can't answer about the humidity. I had another armband that had a lot of condensation, but this one allows my iPod to bresthe eliminating any condensation.

Probably. It is quite thick, but I haven't really tried. It is quite flexible so you could put a thin film of plastic under the Nano.

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

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

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

I actually bought this specifically for hot and humid weather (Florida and Arizona) and I love it! I had another carrier that was fine, but this one is so much better in the heat. I don't have big sweat marks when I take it off, and neither does the baby. In my other one, I did.

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)

I am sorry, all thought I love the item it does not protect against rain but other than that it is awesome and practical for running. I hope this answers your question, thank you

It also depends on your level of sweat. As a heavy perspirer when I work out, I utilized this more for work around the yard rather than a workout, even with a shirt on during a workout. I did get a life proof case and found it fit well around that case, and the case is waterproof, so that could be another route to protect the phone yet be moving.

If you are sweating then yes it will. I wear it running when the rain is heavy and I get pretty clammy. But I think all waterproof jackets would do that. There are armpit vents so that can help.

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.

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

I've never noticed that my phone has gotten wet while running in the rain or sweating heavily on a run. The band does hold some sweat, but it doesn't seem to reach the phone...at least not in my case.

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.

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.

The armband itself (the fabric portion, not the rubbery bit that encloses the phone) does get sweaty. To combat this, I generally just remove the band from the rubbery part after a run and throw it in the washing machine with my running clothes, then I let it air dry. Hope that 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.

I live in a super humid environment. They work best when they're damp and have airflow over them. They're going to be sticky and as uncomfortable as any athletic clothing would be at that humidity, but your skin is still protected. If you're at that level of humidity and in the sun, it's going to suck with or without the sleeves.
