I had my jog this   morning. And did you know that listening to music is a good way to keep   you motivated to jog for longer minutes? Not only jogging, but in all   workouts, especially when you're working out solo.
I use my Nokia 5310 XpressMusic to listen to music, pretty much all the   time. Having mentioned that, guess what? My phone jumped out of my   pocket while I was jogging this morning! Now my phone has a tiny, tiny   dent & scratch on the top right part of its housing. As of the   moment, I don't have a separate music player from my personal phone, but   that would be so much better. But for now, I'm satisfied, except for   when I'm working out. I should have put on a silicone case I had but I   didn't. I realized that I seriously needed something to keep my phone in   place while I'm working out.
There's two solutions for that:
1. Workout with no music; or
2. Get an armband.
Now,   armband is a piece of accessory that is worn around the arm (that's  how  they got the name). Nokia 5310 XpressMusic is not a sports phone,  but  to be named one of many music phones, they should have thought of   selling products like that. This simple accessory can very useful for   people who are music lovers and are on the go all the time, particularly   if you are leading a healthy & fit lifestyle (e.g. jogging,  working  out at the gym).
Now   choosing option number 2 above, I tried searching in stores here  in   Philippines but was unfortunate to find any on stock. So, I tried to    search on Google to see if there were any  available armbands for my   phone and only found one of its kind, the Sports Armband Case from MobileFun.co.uk   for £7.97. If converted to Philippine  Pesos, that would be around   PHP500. Sadly, they don't ship here  to Philippines, plus they   discontinued to sell the product. 
 The   appearance itself has a comfy, sporty, stylish look to it, giving the   Nokia 5310 XpressMusic a snuggly fit when you insert it in the phone   holder. The armband also has an adjustable strap attached.

Yes,   having a silicone case has a rubber feel to it. But it is not the same   when you're listening to music and jogging or working out, with the   feeling of your phone in your pocket compared to it being snuggly and   fit on your arm. Not to mention that you have better access than with it   in your pocket.
If you are thinking of hitting the gym or just working out at home, then an armband is definitely a must!
