I intend to use this armband for running...which means sweat! Is the velcro easy to clean, what are the manufacureres recommendations for cleaning?

I'm not sure what the recommended cleaning instructions are but mine started to stink after many many runs so I threw it in the washer and let it air dry and it still worked just fine for me.

So far no issues with sweat. I've never run more than 3 miles with it on, but it has remained comfortable and the sweat never seeped through or caused the band to slip. Haven't tried in the rain yet.

The Velcro is fantastic. The armband is easily adjusted and stays in place pretty well. This is the best of 4 armbands I have owned.

Sorry, I don't use a sports arm band. I do like though how this case protects my phone from the elements (water, dirt, dust etc.) which I think would be a plus.

Fits my 5S with space - cases in completely, so phone is protected. Armband is short, does get a little sweaty on a long run on a hot day (but not bad). The waterproofing is great... each time I take my phone out after a sweaty or rainy run, I am amazed that my phone is unaffected. I use a softer armband for short, sunny runs. This armband is my definite go to for a hard workout and on those rainy days.

Arm sweat shouldn't be a problem, heavy rain could be another story. The phone sits in a rubber frame with the front open for your fingers to hit the icons. The back is solid rubber. I did run a half marathon wearing mine in a light rain. I just made sure my head phone plug in was facing down and phone was ok. Love this product and highly recommend it!

Yes, the volume buttons on the side aren't as easy, but I have no problems with anything else. It's a great armband for running I can have a key or a goo no problem!

I've had mine for about a month now and the Velcro is still strong! I use it about 4-6 times a week. The grip is strong if you adjust it right and it won't slide down your arm. But it's all about how tight you make it.

I used arm band everyday for month, I had to turn band around as flap was hitting body and coming undone. But Velcro still works

I love the armband! Works very well, the velcro keeps it in place while running distances. Can text right through the plastic phone protector.

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.

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.

Yes-Mine came with an arm band and headphones. I've been using it while running for months now with no problems. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure how often it should be washed, but I hand washed mine a few times. The only problem I found was that the soft side that goes against abdomen tended to shrink slightly leaving the rough side of the Velcro larger and abrasive against the skin after awhile.

during the half marathon I just ran I saw people wearing the armband on their forearms and wrists. if your headphone cord is long enough that it's comfortable to wear on your wrist, you'll be fine!

Super easy! Just make sure it's in a place on your arm where you can see what you're looking for, press, and keep moving. It's also easy to click to next song or change volume using buttons. The armband is made for the device, so it's all perfect in my opinion.

If used to wipe away sweat it would be great. Other wise you could probably find better options.
