As I always move fast I have a problem with feeling like I loosely strapped a brick onto myself when I put my phone in my pockets, including waist and knee ones. It chaotically moves at each step and I’m tired of that. To the point I take it in my hand when I’m in a real hurry.

I guess, Lemmy has a lot of people who either run or do outdoors activities and labor.

What are the best positions on the body to make it move less when you walk or run? Are there some great smartphone holders, straps that you can recommend? Can I use it with casual clothes without it looking weird?

I suppose the ones you place on the belt are obvious to suggest first, but I haven’t seen them since the death of small button phones and current smartphones are kinda big for that to work. And no, putting it into a bag, a suitcase or a backpack wouldn’t work for me for I prefer not to be dependent on carrying them on me.

    Don’t see how front jeans pocket is too loose. Still not sure what your use case is, but you can try an arm band if you need constant access to it. If you don’t like how it’s slippery in your pocket, you can get a case with rubbery outside edge that will make it not slide. But that’s could make it annoying to slide into you pocket.

      My phone when placed in front pockets hits my belly or my leg when I’m on the go or sitting and makes moving that side uncomfy because it’s placed right in the place that warps a lot. I’m probably looking for an accesory that can hold it on my long straight bones.
