flip belt, fanny pack, something else?

I have the Buddy Pouch, you can't access your phone without taking it out but I like that it's not a belt. It just flips over your waist band and secures with magnets. I put phone, keys and inhaler in it pretty comfortably.

I have used a regular fanny pack, a flip belt and a nike run belt.

If you dont want access to whats in the pack while running, I prefer the flip belt. It stays put, feels nice and doesnt jiggle when running.

If I want to pull stuff in and out of the pack mid run, i prefer a regular ole fanny pack.

Clothing with pockets. I don't like running with anything around my waist. Most of my bras have pockets so I just put it in there. In the winter, many of my tights and shirts have pockets so I put it in those.

I've got this thing at the end of my right arm... it's got 5, I'm not even sure what to call them... fingers, I guess, that I can wrap around the phone to keep it secure. It's worked really well for the last several years. I've got a spare one on the end of my left arm, but so far I haven't needed it.

I have a flip belt - the pockets are VERY small - my phone wouldn't fit unless I took the case off. They said the zipper one would fit a big phone so I bought that one too - the pockets are slightly larger than the original but VERY small. I really have to cram my phone in there and it takes some effort, but I can leave the case on. It does ride up a bit - I saw a thin/fit girl with one on at a race recently and I could see where it would stay in place nicely on her - but someone like me with some extra middle it is an issue. It is still the best thing I've found to use so far though while running so I'll keep using it.

At my last race I saw some ladies wearing running skirts - I think they were sparkle skirts? Anyway she lifted it up to show the shorts and the pockets and was saying how fantastic they were - the shorts stay in place and the pockets fit a cell phone nicely and it is very secure. I really want one now! They're like $70 each though. I think both the gals wearing them placed in the race in their age categories though so that may be a bonus!

I buy men's shorts with pockets. They are cheaper than women's shorts without pockets.

I've tried a few options:
- Spibelt - fine when I had a smaller phone, but not for iphone6. It will fit, but I find that I always push buttons putting it in and out.
- Flip belt - hated it, and threw it in the bin when I was on holiday and needed to lighten my bag. Thick layers of fabric makes it too sweaty, clunky to get things in and out.
- Arm band - can't get to the phone on the go to check intervals or change audio. And useless in the current weather when it's chilly when I start but warms up enough to take my top layer off.
- jacket with pocket - fine while I'm wearing the jacket, but it's not usually cold enough here to need a jacket for the whole run.
- Hands - I find it annoying to carry my phone for 90 minutes. Especially if I'm also carrying a water bottle
- Running pants with phone sized pockets on each outside thigh - the winner! Unfortunately insanely difficult to find. I have an old pair of Nike capris but can't find them again. I did see Saucioy capris on line that looked ok but haven't seen them in real life. And Skirt sports tights - though I don't like the cut around the waist quite so much.

The skirt someone mentioned up thread sound like Skirtsports to me too.

I normally use an armband however just found a running t-shirt that has a built in smartphone pocket in the arm and that's great. https://www.decathlon.co.uk/eliokplay-t-shirt-id_8355601.html

Amphipod airflow waistband. Extremely light weight stretchy mesh pouch. Love that it stretches. Holds my IPhone, keys, and ID. I think they call it the Day of Race holder now. Mine is as old as the hills and still going strong

I wear these, very lightweight and pocket large enough to fit iPhone5. I've never tried to fit a 6S. You can find them on amazon: Champion Women's 6.2 Vapor Performance Capri Legging

for long runs i have a different belt. but if i'm not bringing a couple of water bottles along, i used a spibelt-i just lost mine

Buddy Pouch! Just got mine last week and I love it. Don't even know you are wearing it.

Well, I'm sad that people don't like the flipbelt....I love mine. It's like the greatest thing that's happened to my fitness in the past few years (maybe next to my rx goggles I got several months ago), lol. My iphone 6 fits in it great and it's fairly easy to slide it in and out when I need to do something with it. I even wear it sometimes at home when I'm cleaning! My phone is too heavy to put in any type of clothing pockets while running (if any of my work out clothes even actually had pockets, lol), or really in any of my pockets, I wish they'd go back to smaller things rather than bigger, we're not all Texas.
