Phone holder??

Can anyone recommend a safe phone holder? I have one that straps around my arm but it doesn't feel comfortable 🙁

I use a belt with a clear pocket. Works for me. It has the advantage of being a little less accessible and therefore a lot less distracting - which is a good thing, IMO.

I have a stretchy fabric belt (flip belt?) that has various slits in it so you can pop your phone, keys, medication, sweeties, bottle of beer.....

I've had a look at these on there web page and it looks ideal 😃 what about sizing? I take it they are worn more at the hips than waist?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I wear mine at the hip. You can even buy a teeny weeny water bottle, pointless but cute 😃

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Lol thank you I do think I will be trying one out 😊

[J9_54 Graduate]

I bought one of those arm things too, nope no good for me either. I just tuck mine into my ShockAbsorber running bra now, nothing moves in that bad boy lol :0)

[Hidden in reply to J9_54]

Ah down the bra why did I not think of that 🤔 what about keys then??

[J9_54 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I only take a door key and that goes in the little zip pocket of my running leggings on the back. Karrimoor.

[MsFickle in reply to Hidden]

Phone down the bra , door key on a ribbon round my neck 😀😀

[Anniemurph Graduate in reply to J9_54]

Sorry, this may be TMI so close your eyes just in case!

My concern about tucking my phone into my bra would be the sweat. I sweat a lot when I run and I'm not sure if my phone can swim

[J9_54 Graduate in reply to Anniemurph]

Make a little pouch for it out of a flannel or a sock. That should keep it dry. 😊

[Anniemurph Graduate in reply to J9_54]

Good idea, thank you, but luckily I'm happy with my arm band

I bought a top fit running belt from amazon. Cost £10. It’s really good but other than iPhone/keys cannot get anything else in. Maybe I brrr a flip belt?

[Hidden in reply to KimLoulou]

*I'm not promising that the beer will fit

[KimLoulou Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Better drink it first then

[Hidden in reply to KimLoulou]

*i am not advocating drinking beer whilst running 🤣

[Hidden]

I have a small running bag from Decathlon as i dont like phone holders or bum bags haha 🤣😂 its about £9 or £10 & its like a pouch that does up over your shoulder & sits on yout chest at the front so you can easily get into it whenever you need to.big enough for phone,keys x

[Cornet-Carolyn Graduate]

I use a belt designed for phone and keys

[Christene Graduate]

Ooh, will have get me one of those bra thingies, when I have something to put in one ... besides my phone ... 🤔🙄😉

[Hidden in reply to Christene]

😂😂😂 I can give you some!!!

[J9_54 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Me too. A curse to those of us who have more than a fair share lol

[Hidden in reply to J9_54]

Could not agree more!! While we are on the subject of bras what everyone favourite? I have just bought the new Freya Sonic and not too sure about it 🙁

[Anniemurph Graduate in reply to Hidden]

ShockAbsorber always and forever

[icklegui Graduate in reply to Hidden]

oh no, i was looking at that, what are you unsure about if you don't mind me asking? I like my Freyas so far.

Also ... search this forum for the BRAFTA awards if you want a whole load of opinions and a hilarious thread to read - here healthunlocked.com/couchto5... and here healthunlocked.com/couchto5......

Still have a cleavage issue even tough the cup size is correct?? Is yours true to size?

[icklegui Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I've got a weird one, the AA4891 - the cups are ok but the band is bigger than it should be - not insurmountable.

Good to know about the Sonic, I thought it looked great. Can't easily find my size to try on so when they aren't true to size it's annoying. I get that bras are complicated but sometimes they're so off!

[icklegui Graduate in reply to Hidden]

PS Shock absorbers I've heard they run small, I've tried the "4490" and blimey it's tiny. Don't know what their "Ultimate Run" is like size-wise but hear that it's amazing.

[Anniemurph Graduate]

There's a lot of variety in the comfort of arm phone holders. The only way to find out if they work for you is to go and try them on. I have bought at least four from the internet and discovered that for whatever reason they aren't comfortable or I don't like the way they fasten.

Unless it's that you just don't like having something on your arm, in which case a flip belt or similar may work better for you.

[Indigogirl Graduate]

I recently bought a flip belt and am very pleased with it.

[Anniemurph Graduate]

Just a thought for everyone who runs with their phone not immediately obvious (i.e. tucked away somewhere), if you have your ICE info on your phone, you might also want to display it somewhere more easily accessible if you have a health condition. I run with my phone in an arm band so the info is easy to get at but I've also had it engraved on a dog tag and stitched that to the arm band. Just in case - but I have asthma and epilepsy so I take a belt and braces approach in case I keel over and someone doesn't think to check my phone

Decathlon sell running leggings with smart phone pocket.
