Product Information

Feel – Carrying on from the previous point, you want a phone holder that feels comfortable to wear. Ideally, you don’t want to even know it’s there. If it feels like it’s cutting off circulation or restricting your breathing, that won’t be conducive to an enjoyable run.

As mentioned in our buying guide, a running belt can be a comfortable alternative to an armband, as it shifts weight evenly towards the core and reduces bouncing when you move.Of course, there’s also personal safety to consider. Having your phone with you on your run allows you to call for help in the case of emergency.

If you’re like me, you may use your phone so you can listen to some adrenalin-inducing tunes or an inspiring audiobook or podcast. It’s also great that you’re able to use the touchscreen without having to deal with any plastic covering. Additional storage – While the primary purpose of the running accessories featured in this article is to store your phone, you may want some additional storage for things like keys or bank cards. I went in skeptical thinking it wouldn’t make all that much difference to my current solution of a waistband. I was wrong. It makes a huge different to making you feel you have a bit more freedom to move, whist keeping your phone safe, but easily accessible.Fit – There’s nothing worse than getting an armband for your phone that doesn’t fit properly, leaving you constantly having to adjust throughout your run. It’s counter-productive. You want a nice, snug fit.

All of which would be fine if the Freetrain succeeded at its main purpose, which is to make your phone easier to access on the run than any other product, but it doesn’t. While it might be better than an armband, I certainly found it less easy than using a belt. The weather is rarely reliable in the UK, so if you don’t want the rain to write off your run you’re going to want a phone holder that’s waterproof and has a decent zip seal.
