    I see running shirts with zippered pockets all the time. Try an actual running store.

    BUT THAT'S SO MUCH WORK!!! WAAAH

    SBI Belt. You can thank me later.

    Nthing the SPIbelt. If you sweat a lot in your lower back, though, put the phone in a baggie. The SPIbelt isn't waterproof. Ask me how I know....

    I'd love to find one too. I use my Garmin for GPS but still bring my phone when I run as a safety thing - if I twist an ankle or pull a muscle 5 miles from home I want to be able to call for help. I'm not totally out in the country but there's not a whole lot of traffic where I run either, and even so flagging down a stranger doesn't feel like much of an option. "Hi I'm injured & vulnerable - could I please jump in your car and have you hopefully bring me to my house?"

    not to sound mean, but what did we do before cellphones were invented? but to each their own. =)

    We didn't need zippered pockets on our shirts that's for damn sure.

    The belt option is not going to happen. If I was to do that .. I might as well just put it in my pants .. but I hate things bouncing around when I run.

    As funny as it seems .. there is just virtually nothing out there that fits the bill. The scottevest may be my option but I hate buying clothes online as I cannot try stuff on.

    But I did find this and this may be an option .. http://www.511tactical.com/holster-shirt.html

    You could tuck it into your bra.

    Just because we never used to have it doesn't mean it isn't useful.
    I am hardly they type of person to be nervous when running but I think a cellphone is pretty useful. I rarely ever had to use it but the few times I have I was very thankful to have it. 7 miles out from home and unable to continue running is not fun. I'd much rather rely on my cellphone than knock on a stranger's door and not because I'm afraid.
    It was also pretty helpful when I forgot to put water out and texted my husband. Luckily I also have a very sweet husband who went out to drop the water for me.
    I now use a fuel belt for my longer runs. I find them comfortable and can carry all my stuff (I know that isn't what OP is looking for).
