Best For Running With Phablets

I've tried many different ways of carrying my phone (first Note 4, now Note 8). I started with various bracelets, then waist/waist packs and nothing seemed comfortable or sturdy. The phones were too heavy and either slipped out of my hand or dangled too much around my waist. This backpack seems to work the best for me. I've tried it with long sleeve shirts in cold weather and dry fit short sleeve shirts in warm/hot weather and it seems quite comfortable and barely noticeable. This made running much more comfortable. The pocket is large enough to hold the largest of phones and there are a couple of pockets for maybe credit cards, ID but nothing more. The backpack is not noticeable in winter running clothes, but it takes a few runs to get used to it in warm clothes. The chest strap isn't of very good quality either, it's flimsy and loosens as you go. All in all, this is the best running option for me. I will also order more for my daughter, she tried mine and loved it.

Pros
  • ADJUSTABLE: With soft elastic straps, our mini backpack easily and quickly adjusts to fit people of all shapes and sizes with a secure fit.
Cons
  • Almost never
