[Q] Waterproof Armband

---

I am training for a marathon and sweat a lot. Is there a good armband that will fit the phone tightly but is waterproof? I don't want the sweat to damage the phone.

Also, if you have any suggestions for the best phone setting for running, let me know. I don't want to keep the screen on all the time, yet I don't want it to be too tough to turn it on every time either. I don't know how easy it is to push the power button inside an armband while running. I have already installed myLock so that it automatically unlocks when I press the power button. It would be nice to have a setting/app that could wake up the phone by tapping on the screen or the soft buttons.

I found some options that may work for you while looking for waterproof camera cases earlier today. Assuming it fits, you can operate the capacitive touchscreen through the plastic membrane. [Actually, you can operate the screen quite well through a Zip-lock bag. ] Pressing the power button may be tricky, but I'm guessing you could use the call/hangup button on a wired headset or bluetooth of course.

You'll need to double-check the size. There were less expensive variants without the waterproof headphones.

As for skipping the keyguard lock screen, I use a Tasker profile to disable it while driving / at home / etc. If Tasker seems too complicated, Locale is its more user-friendly but less powerful predecessor.

Hopefully this helps.
