How well does this protect the phone while running in the rain?

Not great.I still put my phone in a small plastic sandwich bag first.......just to be safe.

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.

Have not had it out in the rain yet, but the seal around the ipad looks like it can withstand a fair amount of rain. I think if you dropped it into the pool, it would be a problem.

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.

I have only subjected it to light rain while jogging, so I can only verify that it survived those conditions without any problems.

Hm, ive used it in the rain. It doesnt keep the bike dry. But also doesnt get soaked. Its not ideal for rain. Hope that helps.(get a 2-4 Layer cover-trust me)

Although I've used it successfully in the rain (with no trouble) I've never dropped it in a full in puddle so I'm not sure.

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.

Good protections agaisnst water, even more if u use the rain cover that is located in the back pocket! Good product!

Yes, but it absorbs the sweat and just keeps it generally moist - haven't seen actual water/sweat ON my phone when I take it out. I am a pretty sweaty guy who is usually drenched by the end of my workouts and haven't had issues. But keep in mind I live in LA and it has rained here ONCE this year, so If you were about to go run 10 miles in the rain in Seattle, I'd say look for another product. Wouldn't want you ruining a $400 phone!! Basically, its great for the price you pay for it.

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.

It comes with protective cover for the antenna and power button for use in wet weather but I wouldn't use it for extended periods in rain.

I always wear it under my shirt, but over my pants and haven't had any problems with my phone being wet after running.

It isn't 100% water proof, it Does good in heavy rain. Water doesn't get inside the case unless you directly pour a bunch of water above the plastic bar going across top of the screen.

I don't think so, if you run in the rain you don't want to push the buttons cause moisture can get in.

It is good when running, the way the case fits, the plastic cover flap overlaps so it doesn't get wet....;)

Accidentally hit yes. It is not very water resistant at all. The case has holes for the charging plug, earphones, and speakers, so water can get in very easily. Additionally, I have found that this particular case, for some reason, causes condensation to build up inside the camera lens more easily than other cases I've used while running. I have ended up just using the case (which is silicone and does protect the phone well when dropped) as my every-day case, and hand-carrying the phone when I run. If it's raining, I just put it inside a zip-lock bag (and forego music for that run). Not perfect, but it worked through a half marathon and several 5 and 10k races Accidentally hit yes.

I've had mine out in the rain and snow and there's no damage to the case or my phone. I was able to still text/call with my screen wet.
