I run in the rain a lot here in Southeast Asia, sometimes for hours. Is this nano holder water resistant enough to keep the water out?

Hi Wendy,I go to the gym at least twice a week here in Maryland and use the Belkin Armband all the time. There is a slight bit of moisture on my nano when I'm done, but it has not harmed the nano to this point. However, the conditions you are running in, I would probably use a plastic 'baggie' over top of the armband as I personally do not believe it would keep the nano dry over time. Again...just my obervations and opinion. Hope you are doing well. chuck

I run in the rain as well but I leave my iPod at home. This holder is great but I would NOT consider it to be waterproof

Is this water-proof? I mean, can I walk in the rain with it without fearing that my laptop and my books are going to get wet?

It makes it so the center button doesn't get water in it, or at least less likely, but the top isn't really covered so I wouldn't place my bet on it. I run with my shuffle in the rain all the time without the case before and nothing really happens until the hundredth run. But yea it's not water proof.

No, it is water resistant, not water proof. It can handle rain and sweat but not being submerged

Hi M.Gross,1) Is the sports sleeve waterproof? ie when you sweat, will the nano get wet? 2) You mentioned it's uncomfortable after extended wear, I figure you mean it's chaffs your skin? I do 1++ hour runs, so can you recommend any other type of sports sleeve for the nano that doesn't chaff?

I wouldnt recommend getting it wet, however it made it through quite a bit of rain with the battery charger hidden. So, yes it is fairly water resistent

No, it isn't that water resistant other than maybe a last through a rain storm. If you need a water resistant watch, you should look at their triathlon watches.

It is water resistant, in that as it is made of heavy nylon, it will shed water, but it will not keep items dry if submeged in water

I have not used pen in rain, but after using the pen in general I suspect you would be much better off with a pen (cartridge/ink) designed specifically for those conditions.

I have only used mine in dryer climates, but it is a sturdy canvas. I would not expect it to prevent water from seeping through in a heavy downpour, but in misty or slightly rainy weather, it should be fine. I'm sure there are products out there to make it even more water resistant if you are often in inclement weather.

Although I wouldn't pour water on it directly, it is pretty resistant towards rain and sweat - and I ran a 10K race with this on a trail course during slightly muggy conditions. Just remember to dry it out once you're done running with it! For casual use there are no problems at all.

When I first got it I tested the water resistance and yes it worked to keep water out but the problem is it is very fragile so if you drop it once...chances are it won't be water proof anymore

Not waterproof per say. I've run with it in the rain and haven't had any problems. Depends on if the water will get into the headphone jack opening at the top of the phone.

It is water resistance but it does protect your phone very well against rain.

I don't think its submergible water proof but I sweat in mine when I do yard work and I have had it on while walking in the rain to the store ,I would suggest that you keep it as dry as possible though because with electronics you never know!

As long as you use it within the confines of what it says from the manufacturer, it should be okay. i only ever use mine when i run or am in the gym, it is sealed from sweat. and has been great in pouring rain. have never gone to swim with it though...

I jog with mine around my neck. I've been caught in the rain and everything inside has been fine. I thought it states it is airtight, so I am assuming so. I have not submersed mine under water to really test that. I love mine. I got the smaller one. I get compliments on it all the time. I wear it on a stainless steel necklace.
