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?

The product is made of neoprene. It is not going to let a lot of water in, but it is not waterproof. I really like this product, but if you're going to potentially be in wet weather, I would go with another alternative.

The opening for the holder is very small so I would say that you should try it, but maybe one that had a closure over the top would work better for you.

One of the downsides of this product is that it fogs up when I sweat so as others suggested, I would spend the extra money on a water-resistant product. The material would not be very pleasant against the skin either if wet.

No, absolutely not. In fact it fogs up inside running in warm and hot dry weather. Look for a different and waterproof holder

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've had mine out prospecting in the rain several times and it seems to repel water pretty well. Over time, I'll just spray some Scotch Guard on it to maintain it's repellency if needed.

Maybe a light shower; but not a hurricane. I've worn mine everyday to work out, and sweat to the EXTREME, while the arm band was always soaked my phone was never wet. I just think too much rain (coming in a downward direction) would get through the top of the arm band (the location where the headphone plug in is)

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.

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.

I checked with my son, and he said it has kept his laptop protected and dry. He said he hasn't really had it in heavy rain though.

I'd say it's resistant but not water proof. I've taken it out in the pouring rain and everything inside has stayed dry, but I'd be afraid to drench it just in case.

The manufacturer doesn't make any claims about the unit being waterproof, and I've never left mine out in the rain. The individual panels are covered with some sort of clear plastic material that looks like it would keep out water from the face, but the entire rest of the unit is made of a woven nylon fabric that doesn't look like it would keep out moisture at all. In fact it look like it might just sponge it up and hold it, exposing the wires that are inside connecting the four panels, as well as the 5v USB ports in inside the pouch to water. My guess is that letting it get wet (even in a light rain) would be a bad thing. I would not even recommend leaving it out over night where dew is a factor.

To be honest, I haven't tested it in the rain. I would hazard a guess and say that it will not be very waterproof. Certainly in the case of the upper compartment. Perhaps the inner area might remain dry in a light drizzle but in a downpour I would think not. As far as I can tell there is no rubber coating on the inner lining and thus in my opinion, this may not provide the protection that you need. I will be using plastic bags to protect my electronics. Having said that, I really like this bag. Hope that this helps.

It's definitely not water proof, but yes, it will suffice if running from your office to the car while raining...pretty much any case will protect your device in that way. If you drop it into a puddle during said rain, that's another story.

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 is not designed to be water resistant, so I would not risk it if you could avoid it. I think in most scenario's it would survive light rain, but in a downpour, there are plenty of cracks and crevices for water to get into and furthermore, once the water was in, the case is pretty well sealed around the phone so it would hold any water in until you took the case all the way off and thoroughly dried it off. I would not recommend for use in water scenarios.

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

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.

I believe it water resistant, I spilled water on it and my phone was dry. I wouldn't go swimming with it though

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!
