Seeking advice on the best way to do this. I've tried armbands and waistpacks in the past but they were bargain basement cheapies so doubtless there's better out there. I've seen adverts for vest-type holders as well. I've got a couple of hydration vests but the pockets aren't big enough. Phone is a Xiaomi. Quick access would be ideal. I got bitten by a dog this morning and it would have been good to take a photo of it and its owner. |

I have one of these (other brands are available) nakedsportsinnovations.com Though I’ve also just used my headtorch bag and carried in my hand. |

I have two shorts from decathlon that have pockets around the waist, front one is big enough for the phone to sit in and I just use a waterproof case to protect it.

I have Yelpro shorts that have pockets on both thighs. Plenty of room for a phone.

I have 3 Salomon shorts with a back pocket that is just big enough for an iPhone 13.

I've been using the Salomon Pulse belt for years, super comfy against the skin and no bounce or movement from it. salomon.com |

I use a buff wrapped around my wrist. Tuck my phone in it. Can cover phone if it starts to rain. But it's not my actual phone. It's an old phone I use as a camera for action shots. Never take my phone running. Just thought the buff solution might help |

I've got running legwear with thigh pockets big enough for my 'phone, and in winter I put it in the pocket of my hi-viz gilet.
