ok...so I've been using Nike+ for the last couple years to track my running and it has been great. Nike recently released a GPS app for the iPhone that I want to try...but I don't have a case for my iPhone that is worth a crap. Does anyone have a case they have had good luck with when exercising with their iPhone?

I cant recommend a specific case, I bought my armband at bestbuy and I don't have it with me right now, but it works great. It is a very snug fit, which is good - I often shove my housekey behind it and have jogged 1hr with it with no problems. It is hard to get used to since its so large, and it gets SOAKED with sweat, but I've not had any problems. When I get home I can see if the armband has a specific brand/model.

I bought an armband similar to what you are talking about and did not like it because it got soaked with sweat (and in turn getting sweat all over the iphone). I was hoping there was an option out there that didn't do that.

No I have ip4 but run with a $18 sansa clip. I'd be too scared to break it at $500 a pop and it's heavy relative.

Same here except I have iphone 3 and run with a sansa clip 4gb. Use to run with a ipod touch and it was annoying.

I thought I'd update with some information from my previous post:
This is very similar to what I have:

The good thing I just found out, I upgraded from a 3gs to a 4 and it still works with the armband, since it goes "inside" the armband.

I agree with others, it is hard to get used to mostly since it's size, but I dont want to own multiple devices that do the same thing and I also love nike+ for logging runs.
