Would this keep a phone dry if running in the rain? I'm not thinking a downpour, but light rain?

Yes, I believe it would. The back is neoprene, but there is a slot to insert he phone. The slot is against your arm when you wear it, but light rain should stay out. Also, orient it so the earbud plugs into the bottom.

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.

The back of it is made of neoprene or something like it so I'm not totally sure, but I personally would use it in a light rain!

I have a weatherproof armband I use if it's raining and this one strictly for dry days. Got caught in a pretty good rain with it and thought my phone was dead. 2 days and a box of rice later I decided this armband was not weatherproof.

No, it is not waterproof/sweatproof. Like the other person said it can hold some sweat, but if you sweat a lot your phone will more than likely get wet.

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)

the phone is so expensive that i don't take a change on it getting wet,i would think that it will keep alot of the water off, but i wouldn't think it's water proof

I have never used it in the rain, I would image that it would work. If I had to use it in the rain I would. I would just put it further under my vehicle to protect it from the rain before I lifted it.

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.

Well the way it creases at the top, your phone is pretty covered, and you can angle it so that the end where the iPhone goes is angled sideways or downwards, therefore rain cannot get it. I would say that it is sweat proof and I am about an average sweater on the arms. For the most part, yes it is.

The phone is not completely covered by the case and screen cover. The screen cover is really just a screen protector. I would not recommend using this case in the rain, as your phone is not water proof or resistant in this case.

I've only used it in a light drizzle, and it worked fine. I wouldn't recommend it for a heavy rain because it is made of a cloth blend and probably wouldn't repel water very well. This will work fine in light rains, though.

I used it in the rain without the rain fly with no problem. Was it a downpour? No. Just some typical NE weather in the Summer, and I was bone dry in there

I have not had that problem, and I tend to sweat quite a bit (literally dripping after a couple of runs while visiting FL last month). The band's material is pretty substantial, so I don't think moisture can get through it from behind your phone. Sweat could potentially come through the opening at the top, but I still think it's unlikely.

I haven't ran in heavy rain, but I have ran in light rain and my phone was dry after.

I wouldn't go as far as saying waterproof. Water-repellent is more like it. It will definitely keep dry in a light rain, but not if you're out in it for hours or caught in a torrential downpour.

I bought this for my wife and she uses in a gym. She sweats, but not so much that the armband would be drenched. Keeps her phone dry for the 30-60 mins we're in the gym. She has yet to use it in the rain. She absolutely loves it.

I never tested whether it would float with the phone inside. You would only have to worry about the phone floating anyway if your boat was sinking with you on it or your car sinking with you in it. Well, maybe also if someone threw your phone in a pool. I think these pouches provide just enough protection against the rain; a light shower (light blue or light green on the weather forecaster's map). And, who makes phone calls while being drenched with heavy (orange to red) rainfall anyway?

I think the case will be ok in light rain and if an accidental spill happened. It will not be a good idea to submerge in water though. It's a sturdy case...better than others I've seen and used.

It should handle light rain ok. Super heavy, not so sure, but its a canvas case and would deal ok with getting a little wet.
