Time to excercise...work out cases?

---

Hey all.

Spring is coming, and I usually start to work out again around this time of year. It's warm out, and I want to run. This time last year, I had an iPhone, I had an armband for it, but never really liked it. I also didn't care as much about the phone. Has anyone found a good way to keep your superphone safe while working out?

wii excellent question. I love running. Just recently discovered runstar in the market. I am ready to go.
But unlike the iphone unfortunately the nexus one does not have a variety of 3rd party support

Try an iphone armband? They are not _that_ different in dimensions.

119 x 59.8 x 11.5 mm on Nexus One

115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3 mm on the iphone

Hi Guys,

I do a fair bit of running and wanted to take my Nexus One for GPS tracking my run. I use this armband. Very comfortable on your arm, and the phone fits perfectly.

Hope that helps.

I cant tell from the Amazon photo... Is that one thick, or does the phone just fit in there?

You have a side view of it?

Thx!

I too am looking for one...

I'm in the market for an armband as well. Thats why I clicked on this post

Anyway, I'd like to add that CardioTrainer (free version) is hands down the best work out app I've found. Amazing amount of options and settings for the free version. Its really fun to use for tracking in all kinds of workouts. I even fire it up when I play tennis and golf.

I just did a large 8k run, and I have a belkin iphone armband.. my nexus one fits in there perfectly, and the opening is at the top so the headphones fit great.

only downside to cardiotrainer is that it eats your battery! I was at 100 charge when I started and down to 70/60 when I was done.

I had the same issue with Cardio Trainer until I set the GPS to sample every 10 seconds (settings in CardioTrainer). The default I beleive is 1 second, which is a bit excessive...

Yeah there is somthing going on there. I'd lower most of the settings if its that bad.

On my jogs, which range from 3 miles to 6 miles, I use cardiotrainer and stream Pandora with 100% 3g the entire time and at most it uses 20% of the battery.

Thanks for the tip on the belkin. I'll give it a whirl

Looks like everyone likes the armband approach. Maybe I'm just too OCD to like it. I feel off balance or something.

Honestly I'd rather just have it strapped to my chest or something. But I used to use the belkin, I gave it away with my iphone, but if that's your thing, definately go for the belkin, it rocks.
