Runners: Where to put phone?
Replies

Yeah; the forearm is definitely better than the upper arm. Easier to check the phone's screen that way, as well.0

I have an armband that my S3 fits in. I got it on Amazon for $4. Works great.0

They have armbands and pouches specifically designed for the S3. I would get something designed to protect your device - you don't want to damage it.0

I never thought of this!
I guess Large phone + Large arms + Large armband didn't strike me as particularly comfy but the forearm is something I might like!0 -
I'm a big fan of Race Ready shorts. They also make capris, running tights and skirts. They've got pockets all along the back. And I promise, they do not bounce.

I use this iFitness belt when I want to run with water and stuff for more than 5-6 miles.

I can't stand belts when I run--much prefer a cycling or tri jersey, one with pockets in the back. Great for carrying gels or other food, keys, small water bottles, and/or phone (although I don't usually carry mine).
This is what I use its great! though I don't have a short sleeved one for summer so I use bottoms with pockets with and without zips0 -
Why not an armband? I use one for my iPhone - works great, makes the phone easily accessible for using apps. Are you not wanting the armband because of the size of the phone?
Lots of great small running belts out there. I have a Nathan's Shadow Pak I picked up at TJ Maxx for $8. Check Marshalls & TJ Maxx for that kind of stuff - they have a lot of fitness gear in since the start of the year and as spring rolls around. Great savings on some good choices. They usually have a decent selection of armbands for various phones, too.
Good luck!0 -
I have an ipod, but I found a case with a clip, so I clip it inside my pants (ipod inside, clip on the outside). It's pretty secure, and after a while you forget it's there (except for when I squat because the left earbud is starting to go, and when I squat the left loses sound :grumble:).0

I have a little runner's belt with small stretchy pouch on it to hold a phone and keys. doesn't hold much more, and you don't have access to it during the run (I flip it around so it sits on my lower back). But I use my iPod nano and only take my phone with for safety. Got it at the local running store for about $20. I think you can get them on Amazon too.0

Does anyone else refuse to wear an armband for fear of awful tan lines? Anyone? No? Cool.0

I have a running belt for my water with an extra pouch for keys and phone0
-
The armband I just ordered from Amazon was for an S3 and you can order an armband extender for it if you are worried about it not fitting (which sounds like it might be the case?)
Currently I am carrying it but it's getting hotter and I am going to start longer runs so I wanted an armband.0 -
I put mine in my sports bra... unfortunately I do sweat... but my phone has always been fine. I double up my bras due to my womanhood and I stick it between the two bras.0
-
Left spots bra strap/boob. I put it facing out with part of it sticking out the top so I can hear my Nike + app when it says the mile markers, I have a case on it so the sweat isnt a big deal.0

I wear a hip pack.

They look bad but who cares while you are running. They are comfortable and I put my phone and keys in it. as well as a small box of raisins.0 -
I have a bag that goes around my waist, for when I ditch my jacket x0
-
I bought a belt from avon, it has a place for a phone, water bottle and identification. It doesn't get in the way.0
-
I tried a variety of arm bands, but none were comfortable and not being able to see stats/distance was a turn-off. Now I just run with my phone in my hand. It's an iPhone 4S so it's small enough to not be a nuisance, plus the stats are right there - I know a lot of the Android phones nowadays are almost tablets, size-wise, so I'm not sure if it's an option for you.0

Love it. I actually got mine for an inhaler, but you can fit a lot of crap in it.
ETA: I should mention WHAT I put in it: Key, inhaler, phone, tissues, drivers license...0 -
Sometimes I hold it in my hand( I have a SII). Or I just put it in my sports bra.0

Buy a pair of baby socks (as in socks for newborn babies), stick your phone in that and put it in your sports bra. That's what I do - the sock keeps moisture out of the phone (and can be washed easily while you use the other sock of the pair), and the baby sock if the right size for my phone.0

Left side of my boob. Cleavage just doesn't work for me.
Me too, but on the right side of my right boob!0 -
It depends - if I'm using my phone as my music device/C25K tracker, I have a tune band. But I need a bigger one (large arms) and a new case (new phone).
If I'm just carrying it (like when walking my dog or walking a 5k with a friend) I have this arm band with a zipper in it. It looks like a sweat band and it has a pocket large enough for an iPhone. I can tuck up under my sleeve of my jacket or coat.
In the summer, I usually wear my arm band - so I'll need a new band in a month.0 -

^^This! I have several iFitness belts (seemed to have collected them over the years) and when I just need to take my music, I wear the single pocket one. Longer runs, it's the water and single pocket one.0 -
I have a handheld water bottle with a pocket for phones. When I take my Iphone instead of my Ipod, I put it in there. The only problem for me is that my inhaler doesn't fit in the pocket with my phone, so my inhaler ends up in my sports bra instead. It gets a bit heavy, but after a while your hands get stronger. I do, however, find myself wanting the newer, lighter Iphone instead.0

I have a track jacket with a sipper pocket that i take with me running0

Wear 2 sports bras. Put your phone in between them. Then you avoid getting sweat on your phone, and you have extra boob support.0
-
I've had a Samsung in the past and now an iPhone. They both fit in a ziplock SNACK size bag and it goes in my sports bra. I can still hear my Endomondo when I don't have my earphones in too. I can still work my touch screen though the bag.....works great!0

Spibelt. I have done the tube sock, arm band, double sports bra, hand, you name it I tried it. I love love love my Spibelt. $20 at ****'s. There is no bounce, no constricting, no sweaty phone. Like I said- I love it!
Edited because MFP doesn't allow me to name "that" sporting goods store....D i c k' s0
