I am a woman who needs music on the run. As such, I'm always on the search for the perfect way to carry my music. Since my music/Nike+ Ap is on my iPhone I have to find something comfortable and convenient to run with.
Armpocket is it! I've tried tons of arm running carriers before and they've never worked out. Too big, too small, the velcro craps out after just a few runs, it chafes, it slips. You name it, I've dealt with it. For the last year or so I've been just carrying my phone in a running belt but running belts are bulky and overkill for short runs so I really wanted to find an arm carrier that worked for me.

| I chose this pink one |
I love my Armpocket. It's super comfortable, it has several little compartments to put other stuff like a key, money and ID. Plus it's water resistant, machine washable, has headphone music ports, it's durable, has an easy touch control window, it's eco-friendly, features no-slip memory foam and the strap is comfortably vented!

i-15 would work best for me because I have an I-phone 5 and the color purple in large I'm thinking is the best size for me. I'm hoping I win! :)
I'm good on the music. I'm the founder of a mobile dj company and I have about 20,000 songs in my library. I just need a way to have the ability to carry them with me as I do the disney runs and such.
Do you need any songs? I might be able to help you there. :)
Love reading your blog!
I also tweeted and facebook and told them you sent me.
I just found your blog and I am loving it. I'm trying to get the body back in gear and back in shape.
I think the i-10 would probably work just fine. I assume it would hold a Droid 4. I also followed Armpocket on both Twitter and Facebook, telling them in both places you sent me.

i-30 seems perfect for me! Love it!

went to Armpocket's fb page and told them you sent me!!!
I just spent the last week "catching up" on your blog! What an inspiration!
I think the i15 in red would be great! :)
Congratulations on all that you've accomplished!
The i-15 looks pretty rocking, the armband I have now....well I never use it cause it sucks. Would love to try this out!
also posted on their facebook page ;)
thanks for the giveaway!

I used to run with music until I signed up for my first half marathon. On the website it was made clear that no headphones are allowed. I didn't know any better so I broke myself of using music while running!
I already follow your blog.
I followed them on Twitter.
I found them on Facebook (your FB link leads to Twitter) and liked them.
I like the i10 in pink!

I follow your blog (and wish you posted more!!!)!
the pink i25 is the one i like!
I already liked them on FB, but I told them you sent me and dropped the film's name as well!
Since I don't have a fancy phone, the smallest one would work for me. The skinny nano would fit, as well as my dinosaur phone, some money, etc. I LOVE the Splash color choice!!
P.S. I ABSOLUTELY need music when i run. It drowns out my loud panting! I even ran with music for my 1 mile race yesterday, but other people did as well, so I didn't look like a complete nut. I've been wearing those bulky black shorts because they have pockets to hold my iPod and phone, and then I look like thunder thighs in any of my race photos! I had an arm sleeve for my iPod but it got lost in the vortex of that RAGNAR VAN!!!
Thanks for creating this opportunity for someone to win a fun Armpocket!
The i-10 would be great for me. Love the colors and design.
I want the I-10. The band I use right now has been chafing the crap out of my arm on anything over 3 miles. Since I'm training for my first marathon, that is not going to work!
I followed in twitter! I also would love it to have an actual pocket for me key. I lost my key out of the back if the one I have now on Easter the year before last and had to search forever, but I did actually find it! Now I'm super paranoid about it happening again!
I followed on Facebook!
I would go with the i30 because I have an otterbox on my iphone 5
I tweeted!!
I liked on FB too
I can't decide between the i-10 or i-25. Either one would be great, I'm sure.
I followed them on Twitter and posted.
I also liked them on Facebook and posted on their wall.
I follow you on Facebook.
I would choose the I25 for when I upgrade to the iPhone 5
I am in love with the purple i-15!

I think I need the i-35...probably in black (boring, yeah - but versatile for all outfits, lol). And, black is slimming, right?
"liked" Armpocket's Facebook page and posted a comment. Thanks for all the "chances" to win!
The i10 would work for me but I like the nighthawk also because many of my runs are EARLY morning before the size rises.
The i-1- would work just fine for my iphone 4. I would also love the Nighthawk since many of my runs are EARLY morning before the sun gets out of bed :)

i35 for my samsung galaxy s4 :)
The i-15 or i 35 would work for me, I think! Thanks for the giveaway!
The i-30, to fit my iphone 5 and otter box! I am following your blog!
And I am following Arm Pocket on Twitter!
And liked them on facebook!
I'm following your blog on Feedly. Found you via the list of Chicago triathlon blogs! I would want the i-25 in pink for my credit card, ID, and chapstick!
Thanks!

Love your blog!
I would need have to use the i-30 because I have an otterbox on my phone. I don't like the case much but being that I have already dropped and cracked my phone it is the only thing protecting it. It would be way to hard to take it off every time.
Just followed Arm Pocket on Twitter!
And Facebook!!!!!!!!
I'd love the i-10, I followed Armpocket on twitter.. :-)
I always see people using these type of holders during races! I-10 would work best for me. Love your blog!!
I like the i10

Definitely love the large pink armband for non iphone users. I purchased one for my first full marathon in January and loved it. somewhere between Chicago and flying back home to ATL, I lost it. I am doing the Peachtree Road Race tomorrow and I feel naked without it on my arm. Please help me feel completely dressed again. I would love the pink one.
I am following you by email, as well as arm pocket on facebook and twitter.
I love the i30:) in pink. love that this has a zipper. looks comfy too. I followed them on twitter.
I love the i30 in pink too. I follow Armpocket on Facebook and Twitter. I thought I ordered an Armpocket from Amazon but what I got was a bogus knockoff.
I would love the Nighthawk because I love to run in the dark, be it in the morning or night. I find it fun!
I loveee your blog!! I'm trying to get in shape while going to school and living on campus. :/ not the ideal situation, but an armpocket would help!! (:
The i-15 would work best for my phone. A medium pink armpocket would be perfect.
Just followed armpocket on twitter and told them @FatToFinishLine sent me!! (: i'm excited!!!!
Now all of facebook knows im desperate for an armpocket and you sent me!! D: lol help a girl out?? please please please.....
