I'm trying to find a good armband to run with, does anybody have any suggestions or experiences with certain ones?
Thanks!

After trying many (Belkin, Incase, etc.) ArmPocket is THE BEST by far. I've trained for and ran a marathon using one and I still use it. http://www.armpocket.com I have the Sport20.
Do you find that the ArmPocket is too bulky at all? It look like a great armband but I just worry a bit that it's too large. I am training for a half marathon so if it is comfortable for long distances then that definitely sounds like a good one to go with.
I have the Sport20 AND the Xtreme30 and they are .. by FAR .. the most comfortable armbands I have ever used. They are padded and channeled and have room for extras.
I got the Sport20 first, but found that it wouldn't hold the iPhone when in SOME cases .. so I got the Xtreme30 and it will hold the phone in any case I have INCLUDING my Mophie Juice Pack Plus / Otterbox / Lifeproof. Since I am using the Xtreme30, I let my GF use the Sport20 and she loves it as well.
(and to make it even more relevant .. The GF and I are both training for a half ourselves). I do not think you will be disappointed in the least with the ArmPocket
(I do not work for nor have any affiliation with ArmPocket .. I am just a VERY happy customer)

Can you afford a nano? Arm bands look silly to me.
Just purchased one of these http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=11213&cs_id=1083111&p_id=9228&seq=1&format=2 for $5 when it was on sale. Looks like every other armband to me. Will report back when I get it.
Is it just me or does it look like you can't use headphones with that thing?
Marware Sportshell Convertible is my favorite, and it's cheap.

I also carry my phone with me when I run, so I started using the HB Tune - http://www.hbtune.com. It is basically an arm band that is designed to hold an iPhone in your hand rather than on your arm. It is made of similar material as an armband. I can still change songs through the plastic screen and now I don't have to worry about dropping my phone or having it get sweaty from my hand.
Just an update. I went ahead and got the armpocket and it arrived today. I absolutely love it! It is incredibly comfortable and didn't slip at all on my 3 mile run today. It's the perfect size and I love the extra space for a house key. Thanks for the recommendation!
