    armband...

    wish I had a wrist/hand band though b/c I like looking at my running app if I'm running outside. and it's a pain in the butt to get the phone out when someone calls and you have to check to see who it is. :/

    I set my ring tones to be different for key people in my address book. If I get a call from one of those, I can answer without looking at my phone by pressing the button on my wireless head set.

    I do this with my Sennheiser/Adidas headphones for iPhone, too. I don't have to mess with my phone at all once I start a run.

    I prefer the armband, I have a dog leash tied around my waist.

    I looked at armband, belts and clips. I found that a new product that attaches your music player to your hand works the best. You can easily change music , volume etc. without twisting or digging to find your MP3 player. The product is an HB Tune at HBTune.com.

    Definitely belt for me cause the armband chafes me after long distance runs.:sad: Found this great belt that's super comfortable from this review site

    carries all of my junk during runs including my iphone without the bounce like a fanny pack. Doesn't carry water so i still hold it in my hand. Not waterproof so a cheap ziplock bag is what i use to protect my phone. To solve the problem with changing music and volume i use headphones that includes the volume and track controls on it.

    I used to use an armband, but now I just hold it. I thought it would be annoying, but I don't even notice it when I'm running, and it makes it much easier to change songs! When I'm at the gym it's nice to have the armband though so I don't have to set down by phone when lifting

    had armband for my iPod but now only use iPhone. I switched to an ampipod belt as they are lightweight and 'skinny' and don't bounce. Usually wear a headband or "Buff" or when it's cold a hat and that takes care of the headset getting tangled as I tuck them out of the way. I do better with the belt than the armband.....

    In my hand. I like to check the time on my runs often, so I keep it in my palm.

    This......... I have Bluetooth earbuds so no cords. Good luck
