Phone armband

Hi

I've been using a karrimor arm band to put my phone in but the velcro has now started to come away when I'm running which is very distracting as trying to save my phone from smashing onto the pavement while running. What does everyone else use? I had a Samsung S9.

Thanks

i have a stretchy-pouch running belt but i prefer cycling tops with the pocket at the back.

I have a stretchy pouch too- elasticated belt and 2 pockets, for phone and other necessary bits (tissues and door key). Works for me and for me less fiddly than an arm band.

I have a bum bag ( if that’s what they call then now ?) from sports direct it holds a water bottle keys phone etc. at first I felt like both an idiot and Sherpa all in one ...

But now I love it. You can also get legging with a pocket

I've tried the bum bag but mine was a bit bulky

I have a running belt that i got from Amazon however i have noticed that if my leggings are not as high on the waist the clip slightly rubs
