If you run with a phone during your training, you know the struggle. Holding your gadget with sweaty palms from a hot run can cause a lot of problems, like beads of sweat building up on the screen, making the touchscreen unusable. Or your headphone wires get tangled and pull out of your ear just as you get in the groove. Plus, there’s a major risk for dropping your phone if you hit any uneven terrain. (And really, how much extra energy is it taking to securely grip your portable lifeline?)

Thankfully, the armband has been around ever since runners needed to log miles with the help of their phones. By bringing your smartphone along, you’ll be able to listen to music, podcasts, and have the ability to snap an Instagram-worthy shot when the moment strikes. If you’re looking for a way to run with your phone hands-free, and still want easy access to all of your favorite apps, a running armband is ideal.

Sometimes the simplest is the best. A sweat-resistant armband and clear plastic screen cover will keep an iPhone

The reflective strap will also ensure you’re seen in the dark.
