Iphone Accessories for Running?

I just purchased an Iphone a few weeks ago. Has anyone had a good experience with any of the Iphone accessories for running? I tried one of the Belkin ones that wraps around my arm but it slid around alot. Not sure if it's my scrawny arms or just not a good product. Any suggestions?

I run with an IPod Nano with an armband and it's great, but I think the iPhone is too bulky for an armband.

The Nike Audio Waist Pack fits the iPhone perfectly and can also carry gels, keys, cards, and money.

I know a lot of people over at runkeeper.com (a fantastic app for the iPhone for running, btw!) forums swear by the marware armband. It is next on my list, I don't like the one I have now (can't remember what brand it is) but the strap is too narrow, IMO.

I run with an extreme mac arm band. Found it in the mall. It fits securely is waterproof and has room for a key. Love the runkeeper app for the iphone too. Although I've had better luck with the free one than the paid (9.99) app

Try the Sporteer from PDO (www.pdostore.com).

+1 on runkeeper, that is the single best app for the iPhone, IMO. I also just got a set of bluetooth headphones (motorola Rokr s9 HD) and they're sweet. Love not having a cable slapping around, and I can keep my phone in my water belt instead of needing an armband.
