Just wondered if anyone uses the 6 or Plus in an armband for running . do the phones look ridiculously big on your arm ? Lol

depends on how small your arms are?

I have an armband for my 6 and I bought one for my 6s plus in the future. They're a bit big, but anyone who runs and cares about appearance probably isn't running that hard. :p

For the first few months I just carried my 6 Plus in my hand while I ran. I finally found an arm band in a store and purchased it, and so far my only regret has not purchasing it sooner. Usually the arm sleeve cover most of it up and doesn't look that ridiculous.

I've used an armband on an iPhone 5 and the size is just about 'acceptable'. I'll give it a try running with a 6s plus whenever it comes out .

I have 6 and I bought Belkin one for bicycling. I really like it, fits my arm great, it's a little bit big, but it doesn't concern me.

Well I used armbands for my 6 plus! As most of people know that all the iPhone 6 plus has a very peculiar camera problem! This problem is that after some time you are not able to focus... This problem appears due to heavy vibrations like, running! I had it, all my friend have it! Apple change the camera for free but some people that continued to run with it they change it again! So, just be careful!

Was just going to make a new thread regarding armbands - figured I'd give this one a bump instead..

Most of you guys above posted you have them and love them - but, you didn't post what brand you're using!

Has anyone had a good experience with a 6 (I have a Mophie juice pack plus on mine) in a running armband??
