Default armband?

Anyone found a suitable armband to go running/work out in while keeping my lovely g2x safe and sound from falling out or getting my sweat all over?

or if you have a universal sized armband and are having success with your g2x in it please do share your experiences!

yea i looked at those armbands that are on amazon and I am not too wild about them... right now my biggest candidate is the adidas miCoach armband...

looking for an armband as well. All I saw were those few amazon entries and one bad review that said the phone sticks up above the cover. I might go to target and try a bunch for the iphone.

Well I am going to take one for the team, I ordered the one that amazon has listed with the ONE bad review... for 17 bux shipped so its whatever...

i went to best buy today and opened a bunch of boxes of stuff and nothing seemed to really fit... i tried the miCoach for the IP4 and it was a huge fail

I pondered using my tunebelt from my nexus one and just getting a different silicone case but with the phone being as big as it is and 12 grams heavier that it may be a little too flimsy and flopping around for my liking...

I want something with the form factor that the amazon armbands or miCoach has where the phone fits into a sleeve and wont flop around... assuming the phone does not stick out literally an inch and the phone will stay in when I am jogging or doing plyometrics, i will be happy with my purchase...

full review to come when i get it...

I dont have sports authority and dick's said they only carry ipod accessories, specifically nano armbands... its more of a bestbuy type of store's job to carry smartphone sports armbands since they actually sell the devices... ipods are a little more universal so dick's carrys them...

I have the exact same problem the only armband that I found on Amazon supposedly sucks doesn't even fits the entire phone

I'm subscribing to this thread hopefully I'll find something nice
