Product Information
Full details
The Fidlock HERMETIC Sport Armband is engineered for runners, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts who require reliable protection for their smartphone in any weather condition. Its core strength lies in its patented magnetic self-sealing technology, which creates an airtight, waterproof barrier while maintaining full touchscreen sensitivity. While it offers industry-leading protection against the elements, users should note that its bulkier, highly secure closure design may feel different than lightweight, minimalist silicone phone cases.

FAQs
Is it truly 100% waterproof?
Yes, the patented HERMETIC technology creates a permanent, air-tight, and waterproof seal when closed correctly.
Can I use my phone's fingerprint sensor through the film?
While the film supports touch gestures and swipes, biometric fingerprint sensors generally do not work through the protective layer.
Will the magnets wipe my credit cards?
No, the magnetic system is specifically designed to be safe for modern smartphones and bank cards.
Does the armband come in different sizes?
The armband features an adjustable strap design and includes an optional belt extension, allowing it to fit a wide range of arm circumferences.
How do I know if the seal is closed?
You will feel and hear the magnets snap into place. When the top of the pouch is flat and consistent across the seal, it is closed securely.
Troubleshooting
Seal does not seem airtight
Ensure the magnetic strips are free of dust or sand and verify that the two strips are perfectly aligned during closure.
Touchscreen sensitivity feels low
Remove any thick phone cases before inserting the device into the armband to ensure the phone sits flush against the protective film.
Pros and Cons

- Maintains full touchscreen sensitivity
- Adjustable strap for secure, personalized fit

Cons
- Slightly bulkier than standard slim-fit armbands

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the armband, slide your device into the pouch and allow the magnetic strips at the top to snap together naturally. If you have a larger arm, utilize the included belt extension to ensure a snug, non-slip fit.
Compatibility: The armband works with most standard-sized smartphones. Ensure your phone case is removed before insertion for the best seal performance.
Care Instructions: Keep the magnetic sealing strips free of debris, such as sand or lint, which could compromise the waterproof integrity. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth after use. If the inner film gets dirty, clean it with a mild soap solution and air dry completely before storing.
