Running with your phone

Arm Pocket! Works great

I'm classy. I put mine in my sports bra. With my HRM band under my bra, the phone stays in place and it's easy for me to get to change volume, check my route mileage, etc.

Like I said, totally classy. lol

Lol I thought I was the only classy one. I find it sits nicely between my arm and ribcage.

On the road it is in my bra also, but I don't listen to music when I run on the road. On the treadmill I put it in the cup holder , I do listen to music on the treadmill.

I've had a couple different models for my iphone. One was a neoprene-type pocket that strapped to my arm. That thing would get so hot during my runs that it felt like it was burning my skin. It was also pretty bulky on the arm and hard to access the phone to change apps, check music, etc.. The front plastic ended up separating from the band and I had to throw it away after only a couple months. Good riddance.

I bought a Tuneband for iphone a month ago and love it. It's a rubbery skin with a stretchy velcro armband attached. Very low-profile and comfortable and only cost $21 on amazon. You do have to take your phone out of whatever cover you use, but it's worth it to get the snug, comfortable fit and only takes a couple seconds to change out. I don't know if they make it for other phones but check out the Tuneband and look for something similar that is compatible with your phone. Look for user ratings and read the comments.

Since at walk at 4am, I wear a fanny pack that holds my phone, keys, flashlight and mace.

I can't believe I never thought of this... lol... definitely going to give it a whirl !

I do this sometimes too. Put the phone in a plastic baggie to keep it from getting damaged from sweat.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I am pretty sure there was a 21 year old girl, with no family history, that possibly got breast cancer from keeping her phone in her bra. She had it in there for 12 hours a day every day....but it would still be something I would watch. I sweat too much for that to even be an option, I use a waterproof armband.

I was thinking the same thing....I know way too many otherwise-healthy people who have had unexplained brain tumors in the past 4-5 years and there's a lot of suspicion that cell phones are responsible for the increase.... I make a point not to keep my phone close to my body as much as possible....

I use a small running belt. I had an arm band but it never fits right or stays where I want it to. The small running belt sits under my shirt, at my waist band of my shorts and is great to keep a credit card, key fob, and my phone. I never even feel it's there.

I was using an armband but, alas, it fell apart:( I need to get a new one.

I read the title for the post and all I could think was, "Better than running with scissors."

In response to the question, though, I bought myself an armband and have had no issues with dropping it, the phone getting wet, or anything else like that.

I use an armband. I strap it to my arm and put my headphones in. That of course does mean that I can't run with it in the rain though.

If you didn't want to use an armband, I'd look into something like a spibelt.

same here. now that I'm not holding it in my hand I can run better!
