Is that a phone in your pocket or?

in Fitness and Exercise
Ok, so I hate carrying my phone in my pocket when I work out, but need some place to keep it. It has my music on it. Anyone know of a good armband or clip? How do you listen to music while exercising or out for a jog?

    amazon.com --> search your phone --> search options --> limit highest customer rating --> look at price --> order.

    i tried this, and the reviews are so mixed that I can't decide. Either people LOVE the arm bands or they hate them. Sigh.

    I just hold my phone when I run and I put my phone in my pocket at the gym. I mean you could just go into a store and you can open the boxes and try them then order it online or buy it at the store.

    I have a Griffin arm band for my iPhone that I use when I jog. Gotta have it for my running apps and my music. Easily adjustable band, access to the screen, and I picked it up for about ten bucks at TJ Maxx. Amazon has some good prices too, but check your local TJ Maxx or Marshalls - you can find some great deals on fitness related stuff.

    I have a Tune Belt armband that I bought on Amazon. I really like it.

    I use a bodymedia fit armband so a music player armband would be weird. I guess I could put it on the other arm... but Ive been sticking my phone in my underpants. which FYI works OK but not that good since it slips down. You don't lose it.

    I ordered a tunebelt.. belt.. not an armband.... like the day before yesterday on Amazon and it arrived today. I went running just to give it a try! I like that its slim, you can operate the phone through the clear plastic without removing it. It's very secure inside the belt, and theres a little pocket big enough for cards, money and a key on the inside.

    So much better than having all that stuff falling down towards the bottom of your underpants!

    I also bought some terrycloth sweat bands with zippered pockets in them for keys, money etc. Probably cant fit your phone there. They havent arrived yet but I imagine they could be handy. If not they're stocking stuffers for folks for Xmas! :laugh:

    The only bad thing about the tune belt is that I was wearing it pretty loose and it'd work its way out of place after awhile jogging. I expect to either find the right way to wear it or I suppose I could just pin it to sit where I like it.

    That's actually a great idea. I just may do that today. :)

    I wasn't bothered about having my phone just music, and realised that it wasn't much difference in price to buy an old style ipod shuffle. Holds plenty of music for a workout and clips to your clothes. Sorted!

    I use a tiny ipod that will clip anywhere...

    I have seen large displays of many, many cases with arm bands at the local electronics shops though - I would try there, or wallyworld.

    I like the idea, but you provide no info on the actual bra. What size is a s or m or l? How much support does it provide? I use different styles of sportsbras for different activities, and need more information before making a purchase. Especially for large busted women or more mature ladies, foundation garments are critical for comfort. If this info was on the site, my apologies. Make ignoring more obvious for people like me. :smile:
