I'm thinking about getting an arm strap unless there's something else I can strap my phone too. Like a belt around my waist?
Got a tip for us?

you can get significantly cheaper versions of the flipbelt for about £10. They do the same job.
The reason these now make sense is you no longer need to ever touch your phone whilst running. I have been running with my 6+ in one of these and its been easy. hardly noticed it.
Wear it at the front though!

If it's above 55 F I put it in my back pocket - hard to find running shorts w/ a large back pocket but try Saucony. Also Nike tennis shorts. But sometimes I'll just hold it in my hand.
Below 55 F I put it in my chest pocket on my Saucony half-zip. I've seen similar Nike ans Asics.

I got one of these. I can't say it's the best in its class but it's the cheapest with Amazon prime. I don't feel it running. It's basically a very thin fanny pack, but I have it over my shorts (to make it more comfortable) with shirt over it so no one even know I have it on.

Up to iPhone 5s, an armband is good. The 6 is quite frankly ridiculous in an armband, unless you look like The Rock.
I switched to a belt pouch with the 6 and I'm glad I did as it's very comfy and I can get bank cards, keys and travel card in it. You don't really need to touch the phone any more with the apple watch either so it's become especially convenient.

I'm just holding my phone in my hand for now until the watch gets adjusted to my stride and stuff. I can't see myself wearing a belt or arm band. I feel like that's for older people. I'm only 19, and I just can't wear anything like that.
I don't wanna carry a big phone on one hand and a water bottle in the other. I can't have it in my pocket because it flies everywhere in my gym shorts.
You run with it in your shorts pocket? With a 6+? No chance.
When I run 5K's, I put my 6+ in my sweatshirt pocket and secure it shut with safety pins. Not very elegant, but it works.
May have to get a Fit Belt at some point though...

Another vote for the Flipbelt. Went through literally a dozen variations of belts, armbands, pockets, holsters, etc. and love this the best by far.
First run with my new Watch today, 10K hills with my 6 in the belt, Jaybird bluetooth IEMs, Workout and Nike+ simultaneously. Perfection!

I use the larger size of this case. It gives me room for keys, cards, and money. I also leave my regular case on my phone as well.

I've been using the flipbelt, but starting to think the location around my waist is not great for GPS reception since the distance on the workout app is not accurate for me.
flip belt here too. two runs with it since i got it. main thing: it doesnt bounce everywhere. hardly feel it there. so awesome.
I used the Flipbelt the other day with the phone below my stomach at the waist, and after seeing the workout app for Watch report pretty slow pace times, I decided to take the iPhone out of the flip belt and carry it in my hand, which greatly improved accuracy....... the flip belt I have is a bit tight, so I wonder if my body is getting in the way of GPS for the iPhone as I have a little bit of a belly, maybe I should put the iPhone on my back instead of my front?
