IT IS NOT Water resistant! I haven't had an issue about sweat, I got an extra band to change off and launder.

No its not water resistant you can't get in the pool with it, but the sweat won't hurt it. The sweat is Okay it does not harm your device. Just can't submerge the unit in water.

Hi Irma, Do NOT swim or shower with your body bugg....sweat does not harm it, but immersing it will.

It is not water resistant. Also, if you are sweating outside in, you should seek for medical attention. This devise will however be fine with the seat on your arm.

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!

Nearly no sweat resistant. But since it's for eyelid, I think it will be fine. Eyelid doesn't sweat a lot.

Yes, it sweats if you put ice water in it. I bought a neoprene water bottle sleeve to put over it...problem solved! :)

The armband itself (the fabric portion, not the rubbery bit that encloses the phone) does get sweaty. To combat this, I generally just remove the band from the rubbery part after a run and throw it in the washing machine with my running clothes, then I let it air dry. Hope that helps!

this item retains alot of moister during a workout . I would look for another armband.

I have not used this under my arms but it works well in other places. I wouldn't think you would need an antiperspirant

Yes, it really is sweat proof. My arm may sweat a little under it, but my phone stays bone dry.

Not sure. If there is a sweat stain I rub a fels naptha bar on the armpit to treat.

It's not that great. It's definitely only water resistant. Mine stopped working after about a month and my only guess could be water

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 sweat a lot when I run my longer runs. It held up just fine. I live in a dry climate so I can't answer about the humidity. I had another armband that had a lot of condensation, but this one allows my iPod to bresthe eliminating any condensation.

I've never noticed that my phone has gotten wet while running in the rain or sweating heavily on a run. The band does hold some sweat, but it doesn't seem to reach the phone...at least not in my case.

It's winter here so I can't double check, but I don't recall the sleeve sweating. The exposed glass would still sweat though.

I would say it's water resistant. I'm not sure if it's water proof. I live in Ohio and it's so cold that when I've used it I didn't sweat a lot or it was on my arm over a shirt or jacket.

It is only slighty.. and I do mean slightly resistance to water. I had shower dropplets hit the item from a distance and it worked. A down pour of water anf that thing wont last a week. I would suggest you pass on this product. Mine only worked for less than a month and I was really careful with it.

I have had no problem with sweating. But I take the water out of the refrigerator that is already ice cold. so I really don't know.
