Is it easy to use the touchscreen through the plastic window? I pause and play frequently during my workouts.

Hi Sara.It is relatively easy to use the touchscreen through the plastic window. Likewise, I too pause, play and switch playlists frequently. However, be advised that moisture from sweat permeates the fabric and clouds the inside of the plastic window, which then makes the touchscreen unresponsive; you would then have to stop what you're doing to remove the moisture buildup.

The plastic is a little thicker so I could see why some people say they've had issues, but I've never had a problem myself.

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.

I havent had any problems with it. The screen cover doesnt lie flat against the ipod but pressing on it still works fine. You shouldnt have a problem but ill reccomend that you might want to try and find a pair of headphones with the volume and pause/play/ff on the headphone cord

No, you do not need a touch screen because you are not touching the screen. You are using your hands in front of the monitor without contact. It's pretty neat.

Using the touchscreen is awkward since the body of the machine is light. Touching the screen makes the whole unit move. I had hinge issues unrelated to the touchscreen. Sent it back 3 times before asus replaced it with a refurbished unit.

Not easily! The screen does let a gd amount of airflow through though! And on occasion, when our dogs are having spastic energy and are in/out of the house like crazy dogs, we will drape one side of the screen off to the side ( we have a chair outside that we can set the lower part on). But to slide it like curtains, no, not easily!!

No, it is not touch screen. That makes the whole windows 8 a little more tricky.

Technically it's easy. Contorting yourself to reach them or see the screen on your arm is the challenge. You have full access to the screen as there is no cover. It all depends on how you position it to begin with. If the screen is facing away from you, it's simply harder to see. But all the control work fine. I hope that makes sense!

Yes. I wear the Tuneband on my upper right arm when I run and I can access the volume & touchscreen without stopping.

It's not a touch screen. You can, however, touch the screen; this really just makes it dirty but I think it's a nice feature nonetheless.

Yes, but I and several others have gotten armbands that have very warped plastic that makes it very difficult to use the touchscreen while in the armband.

Not touch screen, however the volume buttons on the top part of the unit are actually flat...so practically can't feel them...they are merely signs like (+) and (-) but easy to memorize the location....like right top is plus sign and left top is minus sign (for control of the volumes) middle is play/stop... hope this helps.......

It is not touchscreen enabled, which I don't find to be useful personally on a desktop, however it does have gesture controls that utilize the front facing camera, which allows you to use motions to move screens and bring up menus

I don't use the air gestures because I consider them absurd and unnecessary. That said, I haven't noticed a significant drop in screen sensitivity. Of course there's a bit, but the screen works perfectly fine for me.

The camera is a wonderful camera. So whether you deactivate touch screen or not, you'll still get great shots! I really don't use the touch screen on this one because you have a buttons you can use. I think Ice used the touch about 3 times so far because used to my old led screens being untouchable! Lol :0) hopes this helps!

Yes, I rarely use the touch screen. I have use the touch once in a while and it work just fine - what for, I just don't remember for now, but I know it work!

It is not a touch screen. The volume buttons + and - are molded into the outer material of the unit. They are recessed but they do have a large + and - indicator which you could probably feel. The power on button on the back is easier to manipulate. A tone sounds when the device is powered on. I hope that helps.

The arms aren't lockable, but the tension is adjustable. Touching the screen shouldn't cause much, if any, movement.

Many times I don't use the touch screen. I just use the keyboard and mouse. Never looked into actually deactivating it.
