A Simpler Way To Carry Your Phone While Running
A running phone holder that clips inside your waistband, so nothing bounces and nothing slides.
Most of us have tried the armband and the belt. The armband works its way down toward the elbow until we are pushing it back up every few minutes. The belt sits fine for the first kilometre and then starts to turn, so we spend the run tugging it back into place.
The #PRPocket clips inside the waistband instead. The phone sits flat against the body, on the front either side, or on the back, and it stays where you put it. It takes a couple of seconds to put on.
Designed by a runner, for runners. I run with mine.

Why It Is Different From Other Phone Holders
Most runners carry a phone one of three ways. An armband, which slides down the arm and puts the weight on one side. A belt, which turns as you run and often will not take a large phone. Or in the hand, which changes how you move and means dropping it if you stumble.
The #PRPocket does something different. It clips inside the waistband, so the phone sits flat against the body where your own centre of gravity already is. Nothing is strapped on, nothing is hanging off you, and there is nothing to bounce.
Here is how it clips on, in less than thirty seconds.
There is a reason this matters beyond comfort. When something moves while we run, we keep noticing it, and we stop noticing ourselves.
The signals that tell us something is going wrong are quiet ones. A calf beginning to tighten. A stride that has gone slightly uneven. A hip working a little harder on one side. These are easy to miss at the best of times, and easier still when part of our attention is on a belt that has turned or an armband that has slipped.
Almost everything I know about preventing injuries comes back to noticing those signals early, and I have been writing about it for over fifteen years. So a carrier you forget you are wearing is not just more pleasant. It leaves your attention where it belongs, which is on your own body.
Will It Fit My Phone?
The pocket measures 190mm by 105mm, which is larger than any phone currently made. I have tested it myself with an iPhone 16 Pro Max, without a case, and there is room to spare. The neoprene has some give.
I have not tested every phone in a case, so here is what a customer told me instead. Richard runs with a fairly large Samsung Galaxy in a case, and said the pocket coped perfectly well with it. If you have a big phone in a thick case and you want to be certain, measure it and send me the numbers. I would rather tell you it will not suit you than have you send it back.
Will It Work With My Leggings?
This comes down to the waistband rather than the pocket. A phone has real weight, and it is the waistband that carries it. Snug leggings and running tights hold it comfortably. Soft, loose leggings will not, and the waistband will gradually work its way down as you run. Those may be fine for walking, where there is no bouncing to deal with, but not for a run.
As a rough guide, if the waistband stays put when you run without anything in it, it will hold the pocket. If it already needs pulling up now and then, add a phone and it will need pulling up more often.
How It Began
I have been running since 2005, and for most of that time I ran without my phone. I am a minimalist by habit. I did not want anything strapped to my arm or sitting around my waist.
Then during the pandemic I started exploring new routes near home and I didn't want to get lost. I also enjoyed taking pictures along the way. So I went looking for a carrier I could live with. I had bought several over the years and had not kept any of them. The armbands slid down my arm. The belts were bulky and obtrusive, and some would not take a large phone at all.
I had a simple design in mind, so I made a homemade version to find out whether the idea worked. I was carrying an iPhone 7 Plus at the time, which was large and heavy, and the pocket held it securely and flat against me with nothing bouncing. I clipped it on and forgot about it. That was the whole test.
My husband drew the design up properly, I found a manufacturer, and the #PRPocket is what came of it. Runners are who I made it for. Walkers, hikers and gardeners use them too.
I use the #PRPocket quite a lot but especially when I am travelling. It holds my big phone easily and securely while running. This phone pouch helps me to feel confident when running in new places.

The #PRPocket for Runners
A Better Way to Carry Your Phone While Running
#PRPocket
Its Unique Features
The pocket is slim and tailored, made from sweat, water and odour resistant neoprene, and it weighs 46g. Two sturdy clips hold it to the waistband with the pocket sitting on the inside, so your phone rests flat against you and stays put. It tucks into the waistband of any running clothes you already own, and you can wear it on the front, either side, or on the back.
The #PRPocket was easy and comfortable to wear. In fact, I forgot I had it on during my run! It’s a very good simple design...

Easy Care
I loved the way it tucked into my running tights and didn't move around. Very neat.

I use the #PRPocket quite a lot but especially when I am travelling. It holds my big phone easily and securely while running. This phone pouch helps me to feel confident when running in new places.

"I have tried several belts and armbands to carry my phone and nothing worked for me. The belts kept moving while running and the armbands were too big for my arms. I decided to try the #PRPocket as it’s something different. I used it for long runs as part of marathon training and the pocket didn’t move and it felt comfortable from start to finish. The phone is well secured and doesn’t move. The pocket is well-padded, which prevented any friction. I highly recommend it."

"I tried the #PRPocket today whilst undertaking my first 20-mile run as part of my marathon training. I was really surprised that I couldn’t feel it at all whilst running. I took my phone out a few times to check my location and it was easy to slot back into the pocket again. Exactly what I needed, thank you."

Lia is not a runner, but she has discovered many other purposes for this unique phone carrier for runners. She says it's a very practical product for carrying lip gloss, air pods and other essentials; and her mum uses it in the gym. It's particularly convenient when you don't want to carry a bag. She recommends using it when wearing a dress and shorts as it easily clips onto the shorts and keeps your phone secure and hidden.

I used the #PRPocket on my Saturday morning Parkrun. I don’t normally like running with running pouches/belts but I found it easy and comfortable to wear. In fact, I forgot I had it on during my run! It’s a very good simple design.

I tried the #PRPocket on a recent run. Initially, I was concerned that the clips wouldn't retain my phone. However, I ran 8 miles and found my phone was safe and secure for the entire workout.
~ Chris L. ~
"The #PRPocket was comfortable to run with. It fitted well and felt snug. I have a fairly large Samsung Galaxy in a case, so I need quite a lot of carrying capacity. This phone carrier coped perfectly well with it."
