Frustrated taking my phone out of the case daily, to put into the arm band... looking for suggestions on nice armbands, that have room for a case. I don't have a big case... just a speck.

Would need to be able to still use the touch screen too, while in the armband.

What do you all use??

    Arm bands are terribly uncomfortable to me. I keep my phone in my front pocket when I workout and/or run. I wear loose running shorts and make sure I always purchase shorts that have a big pocket. I use bluetooth earbuds so I don't have to deal with the cord. Also, if it looks like rain, I put the phone in a ziploc bag. ~Scott

    I've used both Amphipod and Yurbuds armbands with my iPhone 5 in a case. The Yurbuds is more comfortable (smoother material, softer Velcro), but the Amphipod seems more durable. (I tripped while jogging on a dirt path with it on, rolled right over it, and just barely scuffed the plastic. My shoulder had some pretty good abrasions on it, though.) I've been using the Yurbuds on the treadmill, but I'll keep the Amphipod for jogging outdoors.

    I brought a cheap iPhone armband from amazon (under £5) the plastic still allows the touch screen to work and as long as I don't pull it too tight it's comfortable it's ajustable with velcro. The only issue is that because it's fabric and I sweat when I work out it now stinks I'm trying to work out how to wash it without damaging it.

    I use a fitletic belt for my iphone 5, inside the Lifeproof case. I have been happy with it.

    It works better than an armband for me. I like it because I can carry things in addition to the phone. It has loops for gels and I can stick car keys in there if needed. It also keeps everything snug so it isn't flopping around when I run.

    I love my arm pocket. It fits my iphone 5 with the case and still has room for my key fob for my car. I can't fit all my keys so I put the keys in the car, remove the fob from the ring and stick it in my arm band. It's also water resistant and has made it through some rain showers while on my runs, no issue with the phone getting wet. It also keeps my phone dry from my sweaty arm. The touch screen works fine through the plastic too.

    Like someone else mentioned, I hate armbands. I use a waiststrap like this one ( http://www.amazon.com/iP2-Sport-Belt-iPhone-4S/dp/B000M51T12 ) - the touch screen is still usable.

    I also run the headphone wire up through my shirt with a clip on the collar, so there's no movement there.

    One of these days I'll find some Bluetooth headphones that fit comfortably ...

    Thanks all!!!!

    ... I decided to go with Spigen Tough Armour Case, and a Tune Belt AB86 (which should fit over my case!)
