iPhone Armband Recommendations

Running Shoes/Running Gear Apparel

No, I'm not looking for this for myself! As with everyone on LRC, I make $250,000 per year, run 14:00 for 5K, have a smoking hot girlfriend, and would never listen to music while I run. Okay, so maybe only the last two parts are true...

The girlfriend is doing more running recently and wants an armband to hold her iPhone while she runs. It's an iPhone 6 (the normal size). Is there an armband that she could utilize without taking the current case off her phone? Or does anyone have any other suggestions?

Secondary question here: she does most of her running early morning. As an elitist male, I've never thought about wearing reflective clothing. Seems like it's my job to stay away from cars. That being said, I want to get her some reflective gear. Any suggestions here? Wristbands, headbands, etc.? I don't even know what's out there in this regard...

Hah, of course there would be a recommendation to head to RunnersWorld. I should've seen that coming. (Which actually isn't a bad idea - I've gotten some good ideas there. Thanks.) Any personal suggestions nor recommendations from the LetsRun crowd?

Real runners don't take their cell phones on their runs.

Ahh, yes, there it is: the obligatory LetsRun elitism. Exactly what I know and expect of this place. Don't get me wrong - I love it.

Well for those of you who come upon this thread in a search, know that after thorough consideration (thanks, RunnersWorld!) I went with a product called the TuneBand.

Seriously though - why would you ever want to cut off one of your most important senses when running? Without being able to hear you are at a higher risk because you can't hear cars/people around you. You also can't monitor your body when you can't hear your foot-strike or your breathing.

At night it is a whole new level of irresponsibility.

re: Why you do dis?

I agree about hearing being a critical sense to utilize while running. In fact, the girlfriend and I have had many conversations about it. She never listens to music when it's dark out, and even during the day only listens to music when she's running in populated parks. That is, not near cars, and not in sketchy areas.

You can't possibly be serious. Shut up and go home. I don't even run with an iPod but you sound like an absolute moronic puzzy.
