    I have a "regular" size spibelt and my IPhone 5 fits in it just fine. I used to carry it in its case, but found it easier to get in and out of the belt if I just put it in a plastic baggie. Protected from sweat, rain and you can also still use the touch functions through the baggie.

    Did you get the regular 6 or the Plus? I specifically avoided the Plus because I couldn't imagine how I'd ever run with it! #runnerproblems :#

    I just got the larger spibelt and it should hold an ipad mini.

    I get those sports bras from lulu lemon with giant pockets. I think they are called "stuff em" lol. However, they are like 60 bucks, so I only have 2. I save them for my long runs. The rest, I'll hold my phone :\

    I'm buying the bike kit and then adding the rub belt. It is also a case for the phone, but probably the one I'll use the most. I love how easy it is to put on and off.

    What about the case thing that you can wrap around your upper arm?

    Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I ended up getting the "large pocket spi-belt":

    I've taken it on a couple of runs so far and I LOVE it! It is the first waste pack I have found that actually stays low around my hips (all my others ride up and I end up having to wear them way up high).

    I am planning to wear it during my marathon this weekend, so we'll see if I'm still impressed with it after 26.2 miles!!!

    Hmmm... I'm tempted to try this spi-belt thing. I held my M8 for ~4hrs and it wasn't bad, but there were times when I just wanted to hand it to a cop and hope to get it back later.

    I have one for my S4 Active.
    Hate it. Unless I have a jacket on or my skin has warmed up enough, it slips down even though I have it as tight as I can make it. If you have a bigger arm than I do you might have better luck. But my upper arm isn't particularly small - 11-ish inches in diameter so idk how people with even small biceps keep the armband up...

    My galaxy s3 fits in a regular spi belt, but I usually put it in the pocket of my vest.

    I have a HTC One Max which i believe is the biggest freaking phone ever....I know it's bigger than the Note, and it is pretty much wider than my arm so i can't run comfortably with it on my arm, finally found a belt that fits it though, and I really love it.
