6+ Can I run with it?

I will let you know tomorrow after I go on my run in the morning!

 

I personally would avoid an arm band due to the size of it but I know they make some belts and stuff with phone pockets - like a fanny pack for 2014, hahahaha. It may not look cool but it may be more comfortable than an arm band.

 

This is the main reason why I didn't trade in my iPhone 5 (and all the dings #) I have an armband for the 5 and it works perfectly while running and working out. I am curious to see the fit in many of my different pants and shorts though

 

LOL @OP That was the reason I didn't go for the PLUS. I had a note 3 (which is slightly smaller and I think a bit lighter than the PLUS) and I run about 5 miles a day 6 days a week. The note would drive me nuts .... it wouldn't fit in the runners "fanny pack" I ran with and when I kept it in my shorts pocket the weight kept pulling down my shorts as I ran. I spent too much time pulling up my shorts! I love the larger size but it was just a bit inconvenient for me. Although I would have liked a 5" screen in the same physical size case as the plus the "straight 6" is fine.

 

My FlipBelt just arrived tonight and it fits the 6 Plus pretty snugly, but it does fit.

I'm running with a Nathan hydration backpack the next two days (long runs), but I'll be using the new FlipBelt on Monday -- test "trotting" around the house tonight with it around my hips, it doesn't bounce or ride up, so it'll be decent for running with.

Just search Amazon for "FlipBelt". I was looking at armband cases too, but as an endurance runner with puny arms... it was laughable when I hold the 6 Plus up to my upper arm.

 

I ran with the iPhone 6 today and it was fine. I used my water-resistent SPIbelt which I used to use with the iPhone 5. The 6 was in the Apple leather case.

Size and weight, it's close to the maximum that I'd prefer to run with. I tested my iPhone 5 with a Plus template and it felt a bit large. It fit in the SPIbelt but without any keys. I wear the SPIbelt in the front, but with the Plus I think you could get away wearing the larger version of it in the back like a fanny pack. Personally, I can't run with my iPhone 5/mophie combo, and the Plus seems close to that weight.

Part of the answer also depends on how fast and what terrain you run. I run 30-40 miles per week, with many half marathons and at least one marathon a year. If you're more of a 3 mile per day jogger, you'll likely be fine.

I wouldn't run with the Flipbelt or some of the other belts.. I spoke with Flipbelt at my last marathon expo and they confirmed that their belt is not water-resistant. Hope that helps.

 

It would be hard to run with. I just got a 6 since it will be much easier to run with that in my pocket.
