So you actually can detach the silicone case from the armband?

Yes, the case can detach from the band but only when open, not while wrapped around arm. Hope this helps.

No it cannot be taken off the case. The earbud holder is permanently attached

No, you can take off the belt attachment, if it comes with one. The case fits pretty well in a pocket, but Ive found that eventually the silicone part of the case will start to warp & rip. Hope that helps.

It does. The case is hard plastic with a clip attached. The clip does not come apart from the plastic case. The clip is what connects the case to the band when you want it to. You can use the case with the clip without the arm band.

If you have one on your phone itself yes u may remove it but the one that comes attached shouldn't come off. It protects your phone better Than the regular ones. I actually have both on my phone. If you really needed it off you would have to pull it apart, but that's up to you. Hopefully I answered your question

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

Yes, there is a snap that allows you to remove the cord and keep the wrist band on.

Dear L. Kincaid, thank you for the questions. For starters, I don't have an arm band so I don't know. According to the other 2 answers, it doesn't. As for opening it, I tried it after getting your question. It can, but 1. It took some effort since it's designed to protect the phone, and 2. Constant prying it open might negate its protecting abilities or the ability to lock back into place. Sorry.

The strap is already attached to the silicone case. You just slip it on your arm and use the velcro to tighten it to your liking. I had an iphone 4s that fit snug in the case; I wasn't worried it would fall out. The case is a harder structure than I had thought which was a pleasant surprise. Hope that helps!

Unfortunately, you will need to take the case off your phone for it to fit in the armband.

No your going to have to remove the case. After removing the case it fits perfectly and it's pretty secure also.

No, It will have to come out of the case but there is "Sport Armband for Otterbox iPhone 5 Defender Series Case" that should work better for you.

I have a Spigen case for my Note 3 but, I don't try to put the phone with the case inside the armband. I just take it out of the case.

Not very much. I have a rather slim tpu phone case and I need to remove it to fit my nexus 5 into the armband.

Unfortunately you would have to remove the phone from the arm band. It only has one small access hole for pluging in your earphones.

Not really. The clip is made to rotate to any angle and is metal but covered in stitched leather. You could try and rip it off but it would likely damage the case. You could probably clip it onto an arm band but it is made to work best with a more rigid object such as a leather belt. There is no slot for an arm band.

No, you will have to take the bumper case off to use the Ionic ACTIVE Sport Armband.
