Comfortable but doesn't sit still

I recently upgraded my iPhone to 11 Pro Max. That meant I had to upgrade my treadmill as well. Last weekend I put on a bandage at a half marathon for the first time. PROS: Neoprene is comfortable, Velcro holds up well, lots of pockets for flat items (credit cards, ID, even headphone cords if you're still using them). CONS: First, the seller says I should be able to slip the phone into a armband without removing the protective case (I have a fairly thin protective case). Unfortunately this is not true. I still had to remove the protective case to put the phone in the armband. Secondly, I couldn't operate the touchscreen through the plastic window - not without repeatedly touching and pressing hard. Third, and this is really very important, the bandage with the phone kept slipping off my biceps - even when I was just walking, not even walking. I would make sure the velcro is tight and the velcro is holding to itself, but the strap just slips off. Especially after I started sweating. I think it has a lot to do with the WEIGHT of the phone itself, but still. I can't turn an armband into a tourniquet! May I recommend it? May be? Not sure yet. I'll keep trying - both long sleeve and short sleeve - to see if the issues persist.
