I've seen bands that go around your waist that have zipper pockets on them made for running. They're kind of like fanny packs but are not as bulky. I know that you said arm bands are not an option but I have seen them made for phones that big. Also, I definitely would NOT put it in your bra or anywhere else that would get super sweaty. I have ruined phones this way
. I would go to a sports store. Normally they have a section for technology and will have tools for carrying phones.
But have you seen them made for ARMS this big? lol I would need a leg band to fit my arm! hehee
There are armbands of all sizes and shapes, and yes they have one that will fit your phone AND your arm. I have giant arms, for some reason that's a body part that just stays big on me. When I first got my phone armband, I just put it around my forearm instead of my upper arm. It works fine. And it has a pouch for your ID and such. It's a good way to go.0 -

PS....(sorry)...I got mine on Amazon.com. You can find all kinds of things there.0 -
Get a smaller phone? :P
Or maybe even a cheap 2nd phone or samsung wifi to use for running.
The size of some phones lately is getting stupid0 -
I just carry it? In my hand.... seems like an obvious solution to me.
Yup

They make shorts with rear zipper pockets. They fit my giant work Blackberry, phone, and credit card with room to spare. oiselle.com has great shorts!0

I ziplock bag my phone, and stick it in my sports bra! That way i can use it if I feel like it, but it wont get damaged.. Works for me! Though on REALLY hot days, I wouldnt do that.. body heat + 95 degree weather = phone acting weird.0

Why isn't an arm band an option?
^^^This.
It took me 15 seconds to find an armband for a Galaxy S3 on Amazon for $15.0 -
I.Love.This. Awesome idea!Get a tube sock. Cut the foot part off of it. Use the top part of the sock around your arm, with your phone inside. I usually double it (so sock/phone/sock with the fold at the bottom) and then pin the top to make sure it doesn't fall out.

this is an arm band but its really stretchy and fits the phone in making sure it doesnt fall out. my husband and i both use these, they work perfectly.0 -
Mountain Equipment Coop has nice little tiny fanny pack like things that are perfect!0
-
you could always velcro the arm band you have around your bra strap. safe from moisture, and saves you from having to buy/make something new

My Under Armour Second Skin spring jacket has a little pocket on the inside that fits keys, phone, etc. But in the summertime or warmer weather, I wear my Joggers Belt. It carries my water bottle and has a little pocket for phone and keys. The brand I use is camelbak.0

FOR ALL THE WOMEN PUTTING THEIR CELL PHONES IN THEIR BRA WHILE RUNNING
Doctors warn of breast-cancer link to keeping cell phone in bra
Could where you carry your cell phone make you sick? Some doctors say they're seeing evidence of breast cancer that could be linked to where some women keep their mobile phones.
Tiffany Frantz and other young women tell KTVU it's convenient way to hold on to their cell phone. "I put my cellphone right in my bra," said Frantz.
However, her mother Traci Frantz expressed misgivings. "We never took it seriously until after she was diagnosed," said Traci Frantz.
At the age of 21 years old, Tiffany got breast cancer.
"Her tumors were exactly where her cellphone had been against her skin her bare skin for about six years," said Traci Frantz. Their family has no genetic or other risk factors. Surgeons ended up removing Tiffany's left breast.
"It's kinda coincidental that it's right where I kept my cellphone," said Tiffany.
Coincidence? Donna Jaynes got breast cancer at 39. Her family also no had risk factors for cancer. Her doctor showed KTVU the dots where her tumors developed just a half an inch beneath her skin.
"All in this area right here, which is where I tucked my cellphone," said Jaynes. She said she did just that for ten years. She had a mastectomy.
"I thought cellphones were safe. I was under the impression that they were," said Jaynes.
Breast surgeon Lisa Bailey believes cellphone-related breast cancer may be common. But doctors rarely ask about phones.
"I would never wear a cellphone immediately next to my body and I would advise all women not to do that," said Bailey.
Nevertheless, new bras are now on the market with pockets for cellphones. This may be convenient, but doctors said they are risky, especially for younger women.
"These young breast in the early evolution are more sensitive to changes that might lead to cancer," said Dr. John West, a breast cancer surgeon.
West, his colleague Dr. Lisa Bailey and others are now sounding an alarm. They say men are also getting breast cancer by putting their cellphones in their shirt pockets. The wireless industry denies any problem citing a lack of scientific evidence that cellphones cause breast cancer.
"Until further data either supports it or disproves it, I would keep cellphones away from the body, in particular the breasts," said Dr. June Chen.
Doctors recommend cell phone users read manufacturers fine print. For instance, iPhone manuals suggest users keep their phone at least 5/8 of an inch away from any body part.
"It's as simple as that and it might save a life. It might avoid a mastectomy, chemotherapy. It's easy enough to do. Why take a chance?" asked West.
Tiffany's mom says she wishes she'd spoken up.
"I am convinced her cellphone has caused her breast cancer," said Traci Frantz.
"If there is a risk and we don't find out about it for five or ten years from now, we're going to see a whole cluster of young people with breast cancer," said Dr. John West.0 -
I USED TO PUT IT ON MY BRA/SPORTS BRA, UNTILL I HEARD THAT THIS CAN CAUSE BREAST CANCER, NOW I FEEL SCARED TO.. LADIES, BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.. NOW I JUST TRY TO WEAR SHORTS OR PANTS THAT HAVE POCKETS SO I CAN PUT IT IN THERE. GOOD LUCK!0

I talk on it way more than I run with it.... oyyyyy. I guess we are the long term use experiment when it comes to mobile devices with wifi/bluetooth. I still hide from my microwave while I use it! LOL0 -

LOVE their belt, never rides up - I find arm bands very uncomfortable.0 -
Bump so I can check back when I have time to look at all the suggestions...I had my phone in my sweatshirt pocket for my walk yesterday and it drove me crazy with the pocket hanging out beneath the bottom hem...gotta find a better alternative.0
-
I've boughten several armbands and just haven't had any success with them. I just got WorkaWear shorts for your phone and and I love it, no tan lines or armbands slipping off your arm. I'd recommend it to just about anyone. You can find them at workawear.com0
-
My problem with putting phone in a pocket, or lower than bra area is that my earphones fall out from being tugged at..or the hanging wires bounce against my chest and it's aggravating. lol0
-
Hi! I created something exactly for this problem. None of my athletic gear had pockets so I developed this product! What do you think? www.isportsbra.com 0

Get a tube sock. Cut the foot part off of it. Use the top part of the sock around your arm, with your phone inside. I usually double it (so sock/phone/sock with the fold at the bottom) and then pin the top to make sure it doesn't fall out.
Wow, this is quite crafty. I usually just stick my phone in a zipper pocket on my pants (which I also shove my car key in, so I have lovely bulges in weird places). I always make sure that I buy tank tops and pants for running with zipper pockets in them to shove my phone in, but I also don't have a very big phone..
I rather like this sock idea, though, can't lie..0 -
old thread revival. I ended up getting a flipbelt but it's now too big lol.0
-
The flipbelt is pretty cool. I think that rather than spend $29 I could make one out of a small scrap of spandex or even the waistband of some workout capris.
I think it'd be easy to make yours smaller, highervibes? Just cinch it in and run a line of stitches and cut the excess fabric, if it's too much to just leave on. Or rip the existing seam out and re-sew it smaller, I guess, assuming it's not a solid circle of fabric.0
