Good for running? I was wondering how good the new clip really is...is it really strong enough to hang on to your clothes while running/bouncing around?

I've gone jogging with them and never had any problems with them falling off. The clips do a pretty good job of staying around the ear.

I have used it for light running, and the velcro straps are very strong. I don't know how well it does if you are going to do long distance or sprinting.

I use this clip with my LC9. It is very tight / secure. I don't do much running, so I can't address that specifically. The type of belt you are wearing affects how it rides. I use it both with and without belt. Works well for me.

Marc, Yes, and my husband put them on for me as a gift. I wanted them because I was too "chicken" to use the clips...I love them...did 22 miles today and my speed improved. Perhaps because my foot wasn't sliding around.~from Andrew's wife!

I don't think it would be good for running as I find it hard to secure so it stays in place when I tried wearing it for jumping jacks. You could have better luck though.

Hi Sonjia, I never could get it to stay on. The Velcro on the arms just wouldn't work right. Also it's bulky so you really can't wear it under clothes like advertised. I ended up sending it back. I did think the concept was good, I am hoping they improve it.

No the battery pack does not bounce while running. I was actually concerned when I bought it if it would offer any discomfort and how long it would take to get used to it being on. I never even noticed it being on even on my first trip. Also the batteries last for about 110 miles for me. I have now ran with it for 185 miles with no concerns and very impressed with it.

I've had no issues with mine, the armband does what it advertises. I'd recommend it if you want it for working out or running. The side buttons all work when depressed too.

I'm not positive if it will supply enough support while running, but my daughter dances with it (hip hop & jazz funk) and it has worked for her.

Sorry I missed this earlier. I hope I'm not too late. I would believe so. I exercise in mine regularly. Though I am not a runner. They hold in place quite well.

Mine has never fallen out. The rubber is somewhat 'grippy' and it fits snugly enough to not allow it to fall out, even while running.

The armband is pretty solid. It is about 2" wide with lots of velcro and holds firmly. The armband is actually more sturdy than the iphone holder (which is made of soft pliant rubber - and also works quite well.) I've had no problems with the armband on my long runs, and I run at a fairly brisk pace. The only minor negative that I've experienced is that the armband clasp might sometimes dig into your arm - but that's easily resolved by adjusting the clasp position.

So far I've had no problems with its durability. It hasn't broken and seems very strong. The only possible downside is that it shakes a bit during high intensity activity (I use mine for freerunning and parkour). Not really anything you can do about that though from what I can see.

The belt clip has a small edge at the end of the clip which locks firmly to fabric. Along with that it has a very stiff spring which requires quite a bit of pressure to activate in order to clip it onto clothing. It's not your standard slide on clip. I do a lot of outdoors jobs that result in bumping and banging the case. I've yet to jerk the case off clothing with some pretty hard banging and the case will take all the abuse you can give it. Running with it would be mild compared to what I've done with it. It is not going to fall off!!

I'd definitely say it could be worn for running. It does not restrict movement and is light weight.
