I used to use my phone for nike gps for tracking miles but have recently switched to a garmin 310xt. I used to use an arm band for my phone but this thing looks pretty cool!

Like other reviewers, I have used arm bands, Nanos, Shuffles, belt clips, etc. However, I need to keep my phone available for work, for family, and for tracking my run. Free (or nearly free) phone apps hold similar (sometimes more) information as the expensive Garmin, etc versions which require additional accessories.

Using my phone provides my music, connectivity, and run data in one place.

As for heat/humidity, it does not seem to be a problem. After the run, I use a wipe on the back of my phone and on my heart rate strap. It does not seem to bother the phone or the Go Strap.

At this price- why not try it and see for yourself?

The worst enemy of a smartphone is the humidity and corrosion, and if you run it is more than likely that your hands will sweat. this humidity hour by hour will probably affect your handset

I use a Nano most of the time clipped to my waist. Only bring the phone on rare occasions.

There seems to be a bunch of these kind of things on Amazon already. One's called the ThingSling and another's called Lazy-Hands.

I rarely carry my phone anymore, because like you, I have a Garmin 610. But when I do, I much prefer the Grantwood Technology TuneBand. If you position it right, you hardly know it's there. The only downside is, if you don't have a Garmin, you can't see your current pace. Or I suppose you could buy one of those Pebble watches to display the pace. Hmm...

I have a seidio active combo case for my phone – it has a holster with a belt clip. I just tie the drawstrings on my shorts tight and clip it on — secure, no worries.
