I use this and it works surprisingly well even with a bigger phone (regular and xl one available). It tucks into the back on your shorts and barely moves at all. I've used it during a marathon without issue.
Actually, I lost it a few months ago and the temp one I have (running belt) sucks in comparison so I need to get a new one. It's expensive for what it is.
This is a hard case.

Best I can do in 5 minutes.
I never cared for the armbands either. I bought this waist pouch thing and have zero complaints: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ATIE5ZE
I've recently been wanting to try one of these magnetic running pouches. The reviews and testimonials that I have read about them have all been pretty favorable. You can find more information about them on the company's website.
It also looks like there is a more generic version available too.
Pretty sure I can get something like that here. Might be a better idea anyway. Thanks

Any thoughts on this, buddy pouch
Not a belt nor a sweaty armband.
I just got one of these to try out for this purpose. Literally just got it today but it seems like it should work out nicely. A divider separates the "water proof" pocket in the back from the open mesh pocket in the front. Both pockets are the same size but the rear pocket has a piece of velcro in the top center that extends down in to the pocket about an inch causing it to be a little more shallow. The flap also has a piece of velcro that attaches to the lower front. The magnets seem to be strong and hold pretty well.
