Armband recommendation?

Hi! I'm looking into getting an armband for my iphone 6. I have larger upper arms, around 16.5" for my left arm (when taking measurements...I'm guessing since the band will be tighter, a smaller fit is okay). Thanks for any recommendations you have!

    I opted for a waist belt when my arm band kept slipping...

    Cool! What brand do you like? I've been considering a belt since it seems it will be easier with an I phone 6.

    I tried an armband but found it rubbed and eventually found leggings with pockets which work perfectly

    This is what I use for my Note 4 (hugenormous!):

    I reverse it and put the bulk of it inside my compression pants to eliminate bounce. It's nylon, so it saves my phone from the effects of sweat. I've been quite pleased with it!

    @MimiOfTheLusciousLawn : That looks like a good idea - useful for things other than running. I might have to get one.

    My arms are about your size as well.

    I have a Flipbelt and love it. It doesn't slip and my phone doesn't bounce at all.

    I bought a waist belt and I love it. It fits my enormous Note 5 with its case on without any problem :smile:

    I just ordered a waistband (limber stretch) from Amazon. It arrived today and I ran week 5 day 3 of c25k... And I love it! It's wider than some of the other belts and it sits further down but I preferred the look of it compared to some of the others.. It fits really well and does not ride up.. It has 3 horizontal (slide in pockets) and one larger vertical pocket for a bigger sized phone.. I have a fairly large lg4 smart phone and the pocket was a bit too big for that.. It didn't feel like a snug fit and when I moved the phone did slide up and down... I put the phone in the horizontal pocket instead where it fit perfectly and wasn't in the way when running at all..

    I have a Flipbelt. I love it! Fits my iPhone 6s Plus as well as keys, ID and other items. It doesn't move and its easily accessible

    I hated the armbands I tried, had to do them tight and then it felt horrible and sweaty. Discovered a running belt, phone and keys slip in there and I don't even notice it, wear that every time I go out now
