For Workouts - iPod shuffle or an armband case for my iPhone?

[aphex]

I have slighly over an $18 credit to Apple

For working out, which do you think I should do;

1. Pick up a refurb shuffle (roughly $32 after credit)
2. Pick up an armband case for my iPhone (roughly $12 after credit)

i use my iphone for working out (just keep it in my shorts' pockets), but don't use it on the threadmill/running outside. Even with the armband it just seems too big. I really wanna buy a nano for running but don't have the money now, so I think i'll just stick to running without music right now

armband. only because i'd have my phone with me anywhere I'd go, might as well just use it instead of buying yet another piece of electronics

My vote goes to the Shuffle. I have an iPhone and a Shuffle and the Shuffle always gets used for working out (actually, ONLY gets used for PT lol). It's easy to clip on, just load it up with a podcast or some pumped-up music and you're ready to go!

basically my reasoning for not going with the touch (and the nike+ compatibility)

get a shuffle. the touch i have i use primarily for casual stuff. walking to class, waiting for people. etc. i use a nano to work out with. a shuffle will do you great as you could throw that thing around without worry.

shuffle. i work out pretty hard and i'd be worried about damaging the iphone if it were in my pcoket (dropping on the floor when on a bench or something) and it would be big in an armband.
