iPhone carrier

[Crittermad]

How do those of you who run with an iPhone carry it?

I have a holder that straps to my arm - but isn’t really ideal - sometimes the Velcro comes undone and I have to grab to catch it - I am NOT musclebound or especially fat in the upper arm region. It’s a bit awkward to use the phone/app functionality on my arm and the bottom of the phone and headphone jack poke into the inside of my elbow (I’m short!) as it slides down even when so tight it cuts off the circulation- just wondering if there are other options and pros cons (it does keep it dry in the rain however)

Thanks

I got an elasticated Lycra belt from eBay for about £7. Perfect for an iPhone and some car keys/cash. I don’t know it’s on when I’m running. Doesn’t move about and it’s got a really secure buckle clip.

Waist belt? Thanks

[wyersmith Graduate in reply to Crittermad]

Yep waist belt. J

Item number please

[wyersmith Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Sorry can’t find number but it’s a willwell sport waterproof running belt £6.95 on Amazon. Hope that helps.

Sounds good assuming I can find my waist!😂

[wyersmith Graduate]

Sorry. It was Amazon. A willwell sport waterproof running belt. £6.95. That and my £12 in ear wireless earphones have been best buys so far.

[Crittermad Graduate in reply to wyersmith]

Fab thanks

[Mumsygill Graduate in reply to wyersmith]

Can I ask which earphones you got as been looking at these? Thank you

[wyersmith Graduate in reply to Mumsygill]

Also on Amazon. Elegiant sport wireless headphones. £14.97? (I thought they were £12. Probably told Mrs that they are in ear with little rubber bits which go over your ear. Sound quality is ok. Nothing fancy but once in they are rock solid and don’t move. You get a selection of ear bud sizes with it to make a really good fit. My Apple ones just kept falling out.

Ha ha. Brilliant thanks for the recommendation . Will have a look !

Running belt. I have the Nike slim one but have just bought the Freetoo one off amazon which is recommended by some of the admins on here. It’s much more sturdy and fits the iPhone plus sizes.

Oooh I have a lovely unicorn shiny one from tkk maxx. Makes me smile (remember the purple poem!) 😊

I have Lycra shorts with mesh pockets on the side for your phone and a key pocket in the waistband. I have no idea of the make as I got them from TKmaxx. I ordered two similar pairs from amazon, Queenie something and they are great. I wasn’t sure about close fitting Lycra at my age but the convenience is worth it. I am ordering full length leggings in the same style for the winter.

I have a flip belt and my iphone7 plus even fits in it.

I have a Samsung which is a little bigger than an iPhone 6, I hold it. And a bottle of water, and this morning my asthma inhaler was tucked into my sports bra! 😂

I find having something in each hand helps me with rhythm?

I may need to look at a waist belt...

I went to Moutain Warehouse and got a waistband travel pouch thing. It fits neatly under a top and the wire from the phone just pops out at the neckline. I monitor perforance from my watch. I can also fit keys into the pouch at the same time. Also it is always going to be handy to put a passport in for travelling

I simply put it in the pocket of my shorts. It's connected to my head via earphones/lead. If the music stops it's either run out of juice or l dropped it. Neither has yet happened and I've run a lot.
