Gym Armband?

[Chilazr]

I wonder if I could wear that under my shirt. I don't think I'd like it over my shirt. The most important thing for me is that I have my Droid with me. I don't really care for music while I run, but I do use the GPS apps like Run.GPS. So it'd be OK if my Droid was not on my arm. Though I didn't really mind it too much today. I noticed some slipping, but it wasn't bad. but it's also only about 70-75 degrees here today. What's going to happen when it's up around 110?

I have been using the Belkin Sports Armband for the iPod Touch. Its a little tight, but seems to work well (been using it for about a month now). I tried a few others and ended up returning them all.. The Belkin allows for full screen access. Only issue I have really found is when the phone rings ... they cant hear you talking, so have to remove from case, which is a pain, since it is a tight fit. The band is comfortable and have access to the volume button and headphone jack.

I put the phone in upside down, so the mic sticks out the top. People seem to have no problem hearing me.

I can see the amphipod airflow lite working for me as a runner, I use JayBird Freedom Bluetooth headphones, I can change tracks and answer the phone without accessing the Droid. At the gym I just set my phone down with my towel. You know these phones are just a little heavy to strap to your arm. I know distance runners, using the armband, might have a problem with slippage once the sweat starts. The fanny pack looks like the way to go since it also hold keys and ID.

Yeah, these phones do seem a little heavy. However, I've been using the Belkin armband for a few months now. I haven't had any problems with slipping, even when I've been sweating. Even when running in the Tucson afternoons in 110°+ weather, I never feel like it moves. I can still control my screen without any trouble.
Also, I recommend getting the SportyPal app, if You don't already have it. It's the best fitness GPS app I've seen.

I downloaded the SportyPal Pro and will check it out.... I use Runner now and it works really good for what I need it for, distance & time.

The SportyPal Pro app does a lot more than just distance and time. It also has a website that it uploads information to so you can view it more easily. It does that automatically. You just have to go create your little profile and it does the rest. It will also publish to your Facebook or Twitter account, if you want. I found that to be a good feature, as it kind of keeps the peer-pressure on me to not stop running.
As I recall, it's also won an award for best sports app or something. I'm a total geek for it. I could talk all day about how I love it. You won't be disappointed.

I use SportsTracker Pro and Runner together; what a fantastic combo! You can set it up so that it automatically tweets or posts to facebook when you start a run and then the results after you're done. Not only that, but people can follow a link to your SportsTracker profile and actually watch your run LIVE! There's more stats than I've ever seen with any other app. Period.

Arkon makes an armband that fits the Droid:

Here it is with the Devour, which is almost the same size as the Droid:

Give this one a shot? It looks a little slimmer than the one above, but its made for the Evo so it will definetly fit. Give it a shot and let everyone know what you find out. It does look like one i saw on ebay...
