    For those of you with a SPIbelt, do your headphone cords get in the way? I like clipping mine up when I wear my phone on my arm but if you wear it at your waist you can't really do that.

    I have a spibelt. I don't find that the cord gets in the way, but you can get ear buds with a retractable cord.

    eta: also, i wouldn't spend the extra money for a water resistant one. i just put my iphone in a ziploc bag before putting it in my spibelt. and that works great.

    I hated the armband tan lines...

    I put my iPhone in an old sock, face out in my sports bra. This stops the sweat issue and I really don't notice it...but I still have layers of chub for it to hide in. Lol

    I don't have one but I remember talk that iphones weren't designed to handle the constant shaking from running but maybe that was just the original model

    hmm. I run with mine. I always have. They have running apps with gps in them, which suggests it can handle it.

    That said: I tried an armband. Too sweaty for me.

    The bandages that stick to themselves work great. (The ones they give you when you donate blood). They make it in all colors too. The only problem is that you can't change the display or slide it off easily. It's there for the entire run. Good luck!

    I have always been pretty comfortable with a zip lock bag and stuffing it in my bra. I'm also very large chested and wear two sports bras when running, and I stuff between the layers. I hardly notice it's there.

    I have tiny little girl arms. I wanted an armband for my 4S that would accomodate the case I already have on it. This one works great and doesn't move at all while running.

    I bought one off of Amazon (with a hot pink rubbery cover that slips over your phone, but no plastic to go over the face.. so if it rains.. eek!) and it does not move on my arm. Its adjustable with velcro. Not sure how little your arms are. I would not say mine are, but I guess average-- 10.5"

    I just looked at mine and its called a 'tuneband' and it was inexpensive.

    Invest in a spibelt, it will also hold your keys and won't bounce around!

    I concur - I love my SpiBelt and it does not bounce around. Very comfortable.

    I got a Spibelt from Amazon because I have the same issues. It's a little belt that goes around your waist (I usually put mine higher). I can fit my iPhone, my bike and house keys, and my driver's license. I love it!

    I have had lots of issues with armbands as well. The Spibelt is good but you can't use your phone while you're running to change songs or anything. The best thing I've found is WorkaWear, I got mine the other day and love it so far. You can find it at workawear.com i highly recommend it.
