I wear a gilet at the moment for my early morning runs (not just a gilet .... ) and it has an inside pocket where I pop my iphone, but as the weather gets warmer and warmer, I shall be ditching the gilet. Does anyone run with one of those arm band phone holders? What's good and what's to avoid please.

Thanks!

I have one! My husband bought it for me from SD (Karrimor Run). I now have a skinny upper arm, having lost a load of weight, but it still stays on. I thought it would slip down but it doesn't. I put my mp3 player in it. So far so good

I run with one I got from a major Internet retailer known for treating their staff crappy. Not very expensive, about £6 if I remember right. It works perfectly fine, also during a heavy rain while I was out running last week.

I got one off Ebay. It is so big that it would be loose around my leg. I would avoid online and go and try one on if I were you.

I have a one from SD too, Nike brand, wouldn't be without it. Great tip is to trap your extra headphone length between the band and your t-shirt before you tighten it and then you don't have lots of cable flapping around :)
