Having your tunes and the ability to make or take a quick phone call while you're running is paramount to help keep you in the zone. That's why a great phone case that complements your running experience is your best option when it comes to taking your iPhone XR on a jog. Whether you prefer an armband or a heavy-duty bumper, there's an option here for you.
Top armband
Revere Sport universal armband
This well-reviewed armband is more like a sleeve, without the traditional transparent plastic so you can see your phone's screen. It is, however, an easy way to secure your iPhone XR, and it comes in small, medium, and large, so there should be a fit for everyone.
Full protection
Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro
If you don't want an armband but want maximum protection in case you drop your iPhone XR, then the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro is the best case for you. It's a dual-layer, military drop tested case with a flexible, shock-absorbent inner shell and a tough, hard plastic outer shell. It also comes in three colors.
Classic armband
Portholic sweat-resistant armband
This armband has a transparent plastic window, so you can keep using your iPhone while it's on your arm. The material is sweat-resistant to prevent odor, and the velcro strap is extra wide to ensure a secure fit while you're jogging and working out. There's also a hidden pocket for your locker key or gym key card.
For all environments
Lifeproof FRE
Lifeproof's FRE case is water-resistant, dustproof, and snowproof, so whether you're jogging in the rain or in a blizzard, your iPhone XR is safe. This case can help your iPhone survive submersion in 6 feet of water for up to an hour, and keeps it safe from drops of up to 6 feet.
Edge protection
Ringke Fusion-X
This case has reinforced edges to help protect your iPhone XR where it's most vulnerable while maintaining a slim profile so that it doesn't bulk up your pocket while you run. It's military drop tested and it won't interfere with wireless charging.
Rotating armbad
Comsoon 360 armband
This armband holds your iPhone XR with two stretchy bands instead of a sleeve, leaving it fully accessible on all sides. You can also swivel your iPhone around while it's on your arm, so you can read texts, check out music, and even crush some candies real quick. Made of breathable neoprene and stretchy lycra for a comfortable fit.
Colorful armband
Trianium large phone armband
If you're sick of the boring old black armbands, then check out Trianium's bands, which come in several vibrant colors, including purple, teal, and hot pink. The slot on this armband is large enough to fit most protective cases, so you get double protection for your iPhone XR with comfortable, flexible neoprene.
Slim protection
Spigen Tough Armor
This two-piece case has a flexible TPU inner shell with a hard polycarbonate plastic outer shell, offering shock absorption and protection from scratches and drops. There's a built-in kickstand, and the Tough Armor case offers heavy-duty protection without the heavy duty bulk.
If you're out for a run, then an armband or a heavy duty case is the best protection for your phone. For my money, the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro is the best all-around case that's just as great for everyday use as it is for protecting your iPhone XR while you run.
