lightweight armband iphone goes in and comes out perfectly. it is protected by a flap on the top and touch keys work without any worries under the plastic. to raise or lower the volume it will feel a bit because there is no planned cuts, but it works flawlessly. if like me opt for headphones with volume control (Sennheiser - PMX 680 Sport-taken amazon).. to see on the long term and in a wet condition.
