FAQs
Can I use this with a thick protective phone case?
It is recommended to remove bulky cases for the best fit and optimal touchscreen functionality.
Is the armband machine washable?
No, it should be hand-washed with mild soap and air-dried to preserve the materials.
Does the band provide any water resistance?
While it is made of durable materials that resist sweat, it is not intended for complete submersion in water.
Will this fit larger smartphone models?
It fits standard-sized smartphones comfortably. Please verify your phone dimensions against the internal pouch size if you have a 'Max' or 'Plus' model.
Can I plug in wired headphones while the phone is in the band?
Yes, provided the headphone jack or port is accessible at the top or bottom of the band's housing.
Troubleshooting
Touchscreen not responding well
Remove any thick or secondary screen protectors on your phone, and ensure the interior of the clear window is clean and free of moisture.
Band slipping during exercise
Adjust the clasp to ensure a tighter fit on the bicep. If the band slides, move it to a slightly different position on the arm where the muscle contour is most prominent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your armband, slide your phone into the internal pouch through the rear opening. Secure the armband around your upper arm, pulling the strap through the clasp until you reach a snug, comfortable fit that does not restrict blood flow.
Compatibility: This band is designed to fit standard smartphone dimensions. Before use, ensure any oversized cases are removed to guarantee the best fit and touchscreen sensitivity.
Care Instructions: To maintain the longevity of the materials, hand wash the armband using mild soap and cool water after particularly sweaty sessions. Allow it to air dry completely before the next use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can degrade the adhesive and structural integrity of the plastic window.
