Is there an armband for running that will fit with the case? If not, is it easy to remove the case for use in armband?

There are not that many arm bands for the Nexus 5. There are also not that many that will allow the phone with the case on it. Aside from the question. My problem with this case is you cannot feel the click of the buttons when you select them. Push significantly hard to actually use the buttons, but dont get the physical feedback.

Not sure about the arm band (I'm looking for one too), but the case is really easy to remove.

-I'm not sure if there is any armband available that will fit the case, keep searching you might find one. -Well, for me the case is not too hard or too easy to remove it. I've seen guys on youtube who can remove the case with ease, I guess it depends from one person to another.

Yes, the case can detach from the band but only when open, not while wrapped around arm. Hope this helps.

My Evo, in a Seido case, did not fit. I would be surprised if any case, except the slimmest they make would fit, as it was fairly tight with just the Evo itself. I had to take it in/out of the case each time I used the armband, but the armband worked well otherwise.

Yes. The wrist band holds very well. The velcro connection between the case and the wristband holds very well. I ran into issue where the adhesive between the velcro patch and the case came unglued when I was pulling the case from the band. I believe this was due to moisture while I was running. I don't believe it would have detached during the run, but seems that at times the velcro hold could be stronger than the adhesive hold and you will need to be careful when pulling apart. Otherwise, the holds are very strong.

Nope! You can do everything (including taking photos) with the case on. The only times I have to remove the phone from the case is to put it in an armband to go running.

You would have to take your phone out. I have a speck case which is much slimmer and my phone will only fit in the armband with its case removed

Both my husband and I use these for running. Velcro holds it on your arm so you can make it as tight as you need to. And you can still use the iPhone controls to change music or answer a phone call through the plastic covering.

Not sure what type Otterbox you have, but, I have a case on my phone and I don't need to remove it before placing in the armband. The material is very "rubberie" and easy to insert phone. As long as your case is not extremely bulky it should fit.

I have a slim case for my phone (roo). I have to remove it before using my Tuneband. The fit is too snug to have a case on the phone too.

To me, this one seems to run on the smaller side of workout armbands. I don't recall sizes being listed as options so I think I would probably look at a different model/brand. I sometimes switch back and forth between using an arm band and something like a SPI belt. Some people may think I look dorky using the SPI belt if I'm not running :) but I honestly find it sometimes is just more convenient for my gym workouts.

No, probably not! It's a pretty tight fit (well, snug, anyway!) so I think you'd have a hard time squeezing it in w/the Otterbox, which I think is a bit bulky...you could always take the Otterbox off, if you were going to go for a jog or something, since your phone would be on your arm, but not having an Otterbox, I don't know how practical that would be...

i have my phone in an armband when I run, you could probably get away with clipping it to your waist.

Hi Tak, I havent tried it with the case since I didnt have one in the first place. The arm band is a precise fit for the phone. So it seem like it would not fit. You would have to remove the case.

I would say no. It's very easy to remove and not really tight. I like it because I have all of my music on my Touch and I take the case off to put the touch in an armband when I work out.

I don't use a case with my S4 Active, but if I did I doubt it would fit or at least not without a lot of stretching and working it into the case every time you use it. Me personally, I wouldn't want to spend that much effort before and especially after a run when I'm all sweaty.

I don't have an armband, so I can't speak to that. It is not easy to remove the case, anytime I've had to remove the case I've always needed a knife or screwdriver to pry the case apart.
