Best way to carry phone?

[Comfortnotspeed]

Hi! I have used an arm band for my phone, but this morning it rubbed a raw patch and I’m a bit reluctant to use it again. Has anyone used the waistbands or anything different? I don’t have wireless headphones.

I didn’t find arm one very comfy. A back pocket on leggings I’ve found best although pocket on new shorts not big enough for phone 🤔

I buy 3/4 length running pants and they come with pockets and my phone has never fallen out 😊

I started out just holding it, but found it was distracting and too easy to clock watch. I found a decent running belt on amazon, it was only £5.99 and plenty of room for your phone, cards and keys. You can easily still use wired earphones with it.

I have a pair of shorts with a phone pocket in the small of the back (decathlon) and this is by far the nicest way I've found to carry my phone. I also have a running belt that has enough space for my phone and 2 water bottles, which I use on longer or very hot runs. However, I'm in the market for a belt for just carrying my phone and keys when I'm at parkrun, so I'd be interested in others' experiences. I've looked at FlipBelt but they seem very expensive for what they are...

Thank you. I can’t get my phone to fit my 3/4 short’s back pocket-so a belt is probably the way forward.

Whoops, sorry. Not sure if this worked. It’s supposed to be a link to a running belt I bought from amazon which is very good. No zip so good for headphones with wires and a clip for keys.

I wear a belt with a section large enough to put my phone in. Got it from Ebay for under £3.50.

I got a Build and Fitness running belt from Amazon. Is very good. No zip, so good for headphones with wires and a clip for keys.

Had a look and seems just the thing.

I bought a Karrimor running belt in Sports Direct for about £5 two years ago and it is still going great. It safely holds my phone, car key and Parkrun barcode. I don’t have wireless ear phones either, I run my ear phones from the running belt up under my t-shirt up to my ears.

I use a running belt, bought this one from Amazon, because it is big enough to fit my iphone8 in its case. It has worked really well for me, phone in one pocket, keys in the other.

Search for Freetrain phone holder on google. It’s brilliant. 😊
