The Best Running Armbands For Every Type of Phone
Keep your gadgets safe and secure, no matter what you're doing.
Really one of the only good things about running is getting to blast your music as loud as possible as you speed down the street. This can be hard, though, with the wrong equipment. You don’t want to stop your jog every two minutes because your phone’s bouncing around in your pocket, and you certainly don’t want to hold your phone while you exercise. Let me tell you: That’s a one-way ticket to Cracked Screen City.
Luckily, good folks around the world have engineered all manner of bands and accessories for this very problem: keeping your phone in place so you can focus on wheezing your way past that final half mile.

7. Yipinu Sports Armband
