I have an arm band too but prefer the belt as it’s easier to access my phone in case I want to change what I’m listening to or check work emails quickly.

+1 I prefer the running belt too.

I just hold my phone. I like being able to jump around on my playlist. Plus don’t like feeling of phone bouncing up and down in my pocket.

This is what I do. Armbands slide down and is a pain to get your phone out. Wristbands slide around and just look really unflattering.

I’m getting tiny koala bears that clip to a pencil.

OP here.

Some weird responses here...I run in a very public park, so if I need to make an emergency call, I can ask a walker/runner to help. I only want to wear these shorts while it's really really hot out, then I'll go back to the compression shorts. My Garmin has music on it so I don't need the phone. I went ahead and got a pair of Nike Tempo as suggested on the post. I also got a loose tank.

Thanks everyone!

I have a nano iPod. Yes I’m old. I know and am good with that.

I wish they still made these!

That makes more sense than being alone with your thoughts

You must be male.

Nope. I’m a small female. Never carry a phone.

Well, then I'll be the woman who has to call police and/or paramedics and/or friends for you.

In 10 years, I've had to call 3x - none for myself. One for a badly injured runner. One for an injured cyclist. And one for a woman who was sexually assaulted.

Ehh I’ve made it 51 years without one. I can manage.

Doesn't the phone get sweaty running outdoors in this heat?

Why do people create problems where there aren't any?

I don’t take my phone with me, but look up the Koala Clip.

You know people ran and rode bikes well before the cell phone, right? Some people are comfortable not having a cell phone. Some are not. Take your lame ass lecture elsewhere.

I also suggest the flip belt. It stays in place while you move.
