I go to the gym a lot and see quite a few people with iPods strapped to their arms. Some have their iPhones as well.

I'm wondering if there is an arm strap that would fit the Titan (xv6800) even if it is not entirely designed for it.

I'm planning on using my Motorola Bluetooth headset to rock out while I work out. So access to buttons is not really needed. Just touch screen.

I just ordered an arm band from ebay. It hasn't come in yet so I can't comment on it but I'll certainly let you know how I like it.

Try this.....you can usually pick some up relatively cheap. Not the most stylish.....but hey, it works for everything!

well I was going to recommend a shoe string but I think the duck tape is the ultimate solution. ;) Way to go McGuyver. I looked around (only foir a short period) and did not see any type or workout strap for that phone. Perhaps a universal or generic case/strap would be better. I'll keep my eyes open.

Another solution is to somehow extend your bluetooth range (that is if you're staying in one general area) and just wear your headset instead so you dont have to carry your phone around.

ipods look fine strapped to arms, but the mogul is too big and heavy. I wouldn't trust any strap to hold this titan down. Even if it doesn't fly off at high velocity, it might get bumped on machinery.

The only true solution would be wolverine-style adamantium bone-grafted mogul holder with mini-usb and audio connectors.
It's only a matter of time people. Don't just hold your phone, click it onto your skeleton!

The armband from ebay came in and it works fine (look for iphone sport and you'll find it) It's definitely a tight fit but there is absolutely no chance of it coming out. $6 shipped.

I also read on PPC geeks that the dimensions of the original Zune are similar. So a sports band for the Zune will probably work too

Get this, I have it and it works great; great for running and everything else. Touchscreen works too.
