Does sweating go through the armband to the phone?

I place my iPhone with the otterbox inside the band and have not noticed any sweat or moisture getting to the phone. I have also jogged in he rain with his armband with no issues.

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.

No it doesn't. At least when I use it and sweat a lot it doesn't make it though the armband. I'm pretty happy with this armband actually.

But yes when you use it. it makes you sweat and the covering doesn't absorbs it.

If you're sweating a lot, it's gonna go through the back of the case and you're phone is gonna be a bit sweaty. I wouldn't trust it in a storm. And apparently sweat destroys whatever cheap glue they use, because the Velcro came off mine in less than 2 months.

I would only wear this during light rain. Sweat builds up on the arm band and some moisture builds up inside the case but its not a big deal. Its worth buying for the price. I use it for my Galaxy S4.

I was running with it on my arm and got caught in the rain... my phone was dry when I got home. However, I wouldn't recommend allowing it got to wet jist in case.

I'm not sure that it would. It seems like the front would but the back is permeable as well as top and bottom so I would think that it probably does not. Most armband I've seen don't seem to be rain proof though

It may just be able to squeeze in there without a protective cover on your phone. Another problem will be the phone heating up because of very little room to breathe. My IPhone 4s has overheated when using a GPS program to track my rides and I do have a little more room than you would have.

Yes, but it would seem to be a little awkward to do... As I am a person who sweats a lot, I only use Speaker phone or Bluetooth... however yes I did check to see if it would be able to do phone calls with out taking it out...

Great question! The reviews I read on Amazon mostly read that sweat wasn't a problem but maybe that's why mine stopped pairing with iPhone 5 as my hair and ears do sweat a lot!

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.

I mean... I think it would affect your iPhone worse.... I haven't gotten the case wet, but I'm pretty sure it'd be fine. I mean I've gotten sweat on it a bit and it's had no effect

Nope! Only with the phone. I had to take it out from the case everytime i used the armband

No the phone does not heat while in the case. The battery does not drain because if the case. It allows for touch screen access, but it is not extremely easy to access the screen for adjustments while exercising; however, for the price, it is an excellent value!

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 live in Nevada and it gets pretty hot here..i play tennis for hours with this armband and my phone stays dry. I read a lot of reviews about it..especially regarding dampness and many runners agree! Hope this helps :)

Yes, the phone does get damp after a lot of sweating. The inside plastic actually had sweat beads on it. It is hard enough to get the phone in and out of the armband. I am sure that having anything on it will make it more difficult. I hope that someday, the companies that make these phone protective cases, the kind with belt clips, will also make a clip or holder for running as well. Seems to make the most sense. I hate taking my phone out of my otterbox just to put it in the running armband.
