Running How secure does the armband feel when running/jogging?

Hi M.Gross,1) Is the sports sleeve waterproof? ie when you sweat, will the nano get wet? 2) You mentioned it's uncomfortable after extended wear, I figure you mean it's chaffs your skin? I do 1++ hour runs, so can you recommend any other type of sports sleeve for the nano that doesn't chaff?

It feels very secure, but can be a little uncomfortable after extended wear (1+ hour). Then again I have pretty sensitive skin, so your mileage may vary.

It's not that secure, except if your not doing a lot of moving around. I fits well with the in-ear connector and it is comfortable, but it's not the optimal way of securing it. Other than that it is a great device, wonderful range and the flip on-off is perfect.

Honestly I will not use the armband under a heavy storm . But I think that the perspiration or a light drizzle will not be transferred to the cellphone.The material is good for my taste. I use it for run and walk but generally I don't run when there is rain.

You attach as you say, and yes it feels lighty but i did everything with this strap... running, sprinting, Push Ups, Pull Ups, Weight-Lift...etc, and the phone stood there...At first you might feel its going to fall but i recomend you buy this, it a very good product....My main concern might be the size of your arm if you're bulky this is not a product you want to buy..Hope to be useful

Yeah there is extra space and its stretchy you might be able to fit in there. Ill be honest though this phone is so big that wearing it on your arm is always gonne be un comfortable. I recomment just holding it in you hand when you run

I wouldn't. It's a really small clip that has minimal grip. The Otterbox has a nicer belt clip that grabs the entire phone, but given the weight with the cases, neither one is particularly good for jogging. My solution was to buy the armband. It's a pain in the rump to constantly take it out of the case, but if you don't want it bouncing or flying off, it's your best bet. As a side note, if you are planning on taking it out of the case at all, use the Survivor case, as the skin will not stretch out and make the case worthless.

I haven't tried them out running, but for walking, they're fine so long as you keep the device within the specified range which is on an arm band. Hope this helps.

yes. It's really great. It is VERY adjustable and will hold without clamping your arteries (unless you make it a tourniquet) There's a side-flap that I use to hold my Avantree Jogger Bluetooth headphones while travelling. It's been wearing well, but after about 6 months, I do see some fraying in the velcro.The only issue I had while lifting was with cables while performing shoulder fly's. Sometimes the cable will catch a little.

It seems pretty secure so I don't foresee any issues while running, but I have a separate running BOB stroller with the BOB cup holder so I can't say for sure.

Tight fit but it can be done. I just tried my honda key with the buttons on it and it fit fine. I didn't jog with it, I only tried it for the purposes of answering your question but I feel it would be secure for a work out.

I haven't had that problem at all. If anything, it is a bit inaccurate in the beginning of a run while my heart rate is just kicking in. After a few minutes at most, mine works well - as accurate as my Polar without the irritating strap.

Yes. I wear the Tuneband on my upper right arm when I run and I can access the volume & touchscreen without stopping.

I would advise against it. It is not that secure and sweat will be an issue.

Yes, It is anti-slippery and very sturdy armband. having very good experience with it, I use it while riding my bike & on treadmill all the time.

I have a slim armor and it fits great. A little snug bug still easy to get the phone on the armband. It works great for running.

The armband itself can get sweaty but I haven't had any problems with if falling down my arm. The actual phone case is silicone and attaches to the armband so the sweat will not reach the phone.

My Mybat armband adequately protected my phone from sweat. I occasionally run in light rain and that was never a problem either. However, one of the plastic brackets that the strap runs through broke while I was running. The armband, which I used only for running, lasted me about 13.5 months. With three 25-minute runs per week, that works out to about 160 runs. On the other hand, I only paid about $6, including shipping costs, for this product.
