Advice needed- arm band for my phone

[Jemimatoo]

Hi

I'd like to get an armband case for my iPhone. Looking online they all seem to have very mixed reviews. Has any one got one they would recommend?

Thanks loads

I tried an armband but couldn't get on with it. Instead, I bought a waist belt from sweatshop which allows my to keep my phone relatively hidden but also easily accessible for when needed.

I got one from Tesco - about £4. I didn't want a see through one that would advertise my iPhone even more than necessary hot would-be muggers lol. This is that nephrone (spelling?) type material and does me quite nicely :-).

I am trying to visualise "hot would-be muggers" - an interesting concept! A good way to distract the potential victim perhaps?!

Ha! Blooming iPhone autocorrect! Hmm.....hot muggers.....lol!

I liked my armband but I've got a new phone and it won't fit. The Karrimor armband won't fit an iphone in it but the audiobelt will. I've got new running tights that have a pocket so I just put my phone in there. I just got a karrimor audiobelt too but I haven't tried it out yet.

I bought a 'TuneBelt' for my iPhone 6months ago (link: mrqw.es/t/ff) and it done the job well. It kept my phone dry in the rain, snug fit for the phone etc etc.

There are cheaper armbands out there (saw some for a few quid) but thought I'd rather spend a bit more on an armband that'll protect my iPhone. I wouldn't want a cheap armband with cheap materials failing whilst I'm running with an expensive phone strapped to my arm.

Thanks everyone.

I posted this and then promptly got ill and had to take to my bed for a few days

I hadn't thought of a belt, but think I'll take a look at sweatshop. Maybe better than an arm band, especially for avoiding attention and muggers, hot or otherwise!

Hey i've just got the belkin one

I've only used it once so far but it was good for my iphone. The screen is still usable under the plastic and it doesn't move when it's on your arm. I haven't used the key pocket yet as i'm not 100% that the key won't fall out.
