Hi all. I'm going to re-start C25K and I want to try doing it outside now the weather is cooperating. So I want an armband for my Iphone so I don't have to hold it.... I really like the look of the Armpocket i-20 but it appears only to be available in the US and I'm in the UK. Anyone got one that they love and would suggest? Something not too heavy and that is built for sweating? Thanks!

    I have this one and its great.
    Ive tried some others, and either the ipod flopped about, or the armstrap was too long and i had to tuck it in loads because i think a lot of them are designed for mens arms, or bigger women than me. I have normal/slim arms, and this fits really well, the ipod is secure and its comfortable.

    check that it fits the iphone though. Mines an ipod classic, so i think its about the same size?

    I use the Tuneband. Not too expensive and it really works. Never had a problem with it. They sell it on amazon, both in the US and UK. (I checked).

    Sadly yes. I did find one shop in Surrey that sells them so have emailed for a price. Does anyone in the US use an Armpocket? I really, really like the look of them, but they're pricey.

    Does anyone have a Marware? Reviews online are really good.....

    ejb245, I did look at the Tunebands so that's a possibility.

    I fear I've fallen into the trap of doing too much research! LOL.

    I bought this one.....

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/iGadgitz-Neoprene-Sports-Jogging-Armband/dp/B003SYCFOE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1301665529&sr=8-1

    seems waterproof (didn't get wet the other night when it poured), certainly does up nice and tight and had no problems with it..... not so easy to operate when on your arm, but I am doing the C25K using it and I dont feel the need to operate it... too busy concentrating!!!! I hadn't noticed the headphone slots in the side, so useful to have gone back to have another looksie!

    I bought a Belkin band for a touch. Same size as the iPhone. The only items for the iPhone I could find were WAY too expensive. The arm band for the touch is made from the rubber sweat wicking material so my phone stays dry and it is secure as it is the correct size. I got mine at Target for $15. (it was on sale though). I find the Belkin products work well with my phone. I have a few covers that are Belkin as well and I find the quality is top notch for the minimal price.
