Armbands for Small Smartphones Keep Your Workouts Going

There's nothing that can throw you off of your workout worse than a phone flopping around in your pocket as you run or do your reps. While you can definitely leave your phone in the car or keep it in a locker, depriving yourself of your carefully curated playlists or access to emergency calls is never ideal. One solution comes in the form of lightweight cell phone armbands, especially for small Apple phones like the iPhone 5. They keep your phone on your person without being intrusive or cumbersome so you can work out with peace of mind.

What Are the Types of Nike Cell Phone Armbands?

  • Device-specific: There is an enormous difference in smartphone dimensions even within the same brand. This means that universal armbands may not fit snug around a small phone, so this could lead to fitting issues and the phone flopping around as you run. An armband made specifically for your phone is ideal to wear while working out so you can exert yourself comfortably without fear of having the phone slip out or move around.
  • Universal: A number of armbands are universally compatible accessories and may not present fitting issues. Just make sure the measurements are at least close to your phone's dimensions for a snug fit.
  • Long Sleeve: These armbands take it a step further and provide comprehensive coverage of your entire arm. This not only keeps the phone secure but also provides support for your arm muscles and ligaments. The placement of the pouches varies between brands and product lines, but generally, they place the phone slot at the bicep or forearm.

What Are Some Examples of Nike Armbands for the iPhone 5?

  • Pocket: These universal fit armbands use a mostly black design and the brand's iconic Swoosh logo placed on the strap. It has a clear window that allows for touch input and protection of the screen while you run. It also features reflective details and highlights so you can be visible, even in low light conditions.
  • Vapor Flash: This model features a water-resistant construction so that your smartphone is safe even when it starts to pour. It is also compression molded, allowing for easy airflow under the phone pocket.
  • Long Arm: These armbands wrap around the bicep down to the wrist. The phone is placed inside a forearm pocket designed to promote balance despite the slightly added weight on one arm.
