Running in the rain - keeping your tech dry?

I don't mind going out in the rain, don't mind me getting dripping wet, but I wonder how people manage to keep their phones or iPods dry?

Hi, I have an armband which is water resistant that my phone slots into. Works well.

I'll have a look in the running shop when I can get there

I use a little bum bag that I wear round the front. I carry my phone, my glasses and tissues in it. Just have the wire from my headphones coming out of it.

I also use an armband. Got it from eBay for about £3. Very useful. Especially as it means I can’t keep glancing at it to see how long I have left to run!

I have a very light waterproof, breathable jacket with a pocket for my phone. 😄

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, I do have a small bumbag which I might use in future for longer runs, but I will look into getting an armband for the short runs from home. There will be more rainy days, I am sure :)
