Everything except the double tap wake function works with the J&D bracelet

I've been trying to find a bracelet that will work with the LG G4 for as long as I've had this phone. The problem is that other straps that claim to work with the LG G4 have reviews from phones other than the LG G4 in the strap, which makes the review useless in my opinion. The main reason is that the LG G4 has a sensor that turns off the screen when it's in my pocket (or in a headband I bought earlier so I can't turn on the screen when I'm on it). I've called LG to see if there's a way to turn this off, but there doesn't seem to be one. I noticed that the sensor is next to the front camera. When I saw that this headband doesn't let the front camera through, I decided to give it a try. Association of J&D. It came in 2 days (thanks to Prime Shipping!). As you can see from the photos, there isn't much in the box, but that's to be expected. One of the things I need is that the headband should work with my case (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YU2J582/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_aL12vb1FSA179) and as you can see from the pictures it works. However, it's unlikely to fall apart, so you might want to turn your phone upside down when placing it in the bandage to prevent moisture from getting onto the camera. Although I used Bluetooth headphones during my run, the holes on either end of the armband give you access to the headphone jack should you need wired headphones. How was it? After running 7 miles there was some moisture on the clear plastic inside (don't know where it came from). The double tap wake function doesn't work, however double tap sleep, screen unlock and all other touchscreen functions work via the plastic headband (while the LG G4 is awake. I managed to do this just by pressing the power button on the back ). Luckily I use Pebble to communicate with the LG G4 so I was able to time my run with the watch. I didn't use a key holder since I hold my keys in my hand when I run, so I don't know how well that works. Best of all, it did what a wristband was supposed to do: hold your phone on your arm. Cozy. While I wish the LG G4's double-tap alarm worked, I'm starting to think it's LG. a problem that cannot be circumvented with a bandage. However, this headband from J&D works for me (and no, I don't think I got it for free or at a discount, although I'd love to!).
