if I keep my iphone 5s in a otterbox commuter series case, can i still put the case + phone into this armband or would i need to take the phone out?

You would have to take your phone out. I have a speck case which is much slimmer and my phone will only fit in the armband with its case removed

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

Yes, I have an iphone 5 and it fits fine but if you have it in a case you may. We'd to remove it from the case. Yes, the armband itself gets sweaty but the phone does not. I am a pretty heavy sweater and I have had zero problems with the sweat getting to the phone. I have used several different armbands and this is the only one that protects my deviceHope this helps

My husband uses the Otterbox case and no, it won't fit in the armband with that on. I do not use a protective case on my phone. I do love this armband though because it has two places to adjust around your arm and works great with my phone or ipod.

I have a iphone 5S that is in a speck candy shell wallet case and that fits nicely in this case. I do know that the otter box commuter wallet also fits in this case (that one is a little on the snug side).

No...it won't fit the otter defender case. I don't use this armband because it doesn't fit my otter commuter case and I believe the commuter case is substantially smaller.

Can't be sure since my phone has a Casemate on it that is quite as big as or bigger than the Otterbox commuter case. I presume (considering how bulky my Casemate is) that it will only fit an iPhone 5/5s with a case size of an Otterbox commuter or bit larger like my Casemate (nothing more though because I'm sure it could be too tight of a squeeze). My Casemate would barely fit it if it was any larger. Usage: Almost every dayOwnership: 1 Month

I'm not sure. I can stuff my S4 into the armband while the Otterbox Commuter is still on the phone. It's not a perfect fit but it's still functional if you don't feel like pulling your case off.

I have a thin case on mine and I have to take it off to put it in the armband. So I wouldn't think so!

I use this armband with my small and flexible TPU case, and the fit is snug. Knowing that otterbox cases tend to be on the larger, tankier side, my guess is you could probably get it to fit, but I think it would be a really tight fit.

Yes you can. What I like about this armband is that it does not have any thick or plastic screen protector. You pretty much insert your phone from the front of the case which allows easy access to the touch screen. The case is rubber, stretchable and sturdy which protects and hugs your phone pretty well. The volume buttons on the side are easily accessible just like any phone case. I am very picky about my fitness gears and I love this product! Hope you enjoy it!

I have the otterbox case and it does not fit inside the armband. It fits best with only the phone.

Hi JoE; I use my case with my iPhone 5 in a Defender case and it works very well. Easy to put into the case and easy to remove. I have yet to have the iPhone fall on it's own from the case. If you use your iPhone without any type of protective case, I would think the iPhone would lack depth the protective case provides to keep the phone from excessive movement within the case.

You will not be able to fit any phone with an otterbox case. It will be too bulky. You can take it out of the case and put it back on when done riding

I do not have the otterbox on my S5 I have a case and the thermal glass...it fits snug with the adjustable band that is inside...I slide my phone in with the top side up..not sure if this helped...I do know the other armbands will not fit using an otterbox

Hey josh! I dont have an otterbox but I think it would be a little too thick to fit comfortably. I have the mophie charging case and I can make it fit in the sport armband but that case is very slick and can slide pretty easily into the arm band.

You can take the phone out of the case while it is on your arm, but you can't take the case off. You can remove the case if the armband isn't on.
