I put my phone in my bra.
I tuck my shirt in and put mine in the front band of my pants....
I would just leave it in the barn but my luck I would get unexpectedly ejected and would need to call for help. I'm liking the running belt idea!

Hot Shot Leather makes really cute leather cases that you can tie on your saddle or on your belt loops.
Of course I didn't find those until I had bought something else...I can't remember the name of this case to save my life, but it's a neoprene one that fits around your leg
I use this, and I think it is what you are talking about. https://www.statelinetack.com/item/cashel-small-ankle-safe/E018933/?...
No, somebody else mentioned it above - the Horse Holster. It fits around your thigh so you can easily reach your phone if needed while you're riding. I always prefer keeping my phone attached to ME vs my horse...my gelding is 20 years old and a saint when we're riding out. I've never worried that he'll pile me up but crazy things happen and horses are horses. |

Location: NE Texas | Nocona Belt Co. and Ariat (available soon) makes cell case holders that work perfectly added to your back billet. They are on a durable plastic Niteize clip that rotates and come in a variety of sizes. I switch saddles alot, so easily removeable too if you sell your saddle but want to keep the phone case. With all the different leather colors, tooling, etc it looks like it was custom made for almost any saddle.

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | I advise to have the phone on YOU not on your saddle, I have know a few ladys that bought a pretty phone case to use/put on their saddle and low and behold horse gets spooked dumps the rider and hauls a$$ home are where ever and rider is left with out phone cause its in its pretty case on their saddle. So they either had to thumb a ride are walked to the nearest phone.. 
Edit for spelling...

| Wow great suggestions! Yes def keep it on me. I have been unloaded before lol. I like the look of that ankle one. Not sure I could stand one that goes on my thigh but I did find something called a flip belt online. Looks interesting! |

| I bought a POCKET PLUS at the NFR. It has a magnetic clip so that you clip on your belt or the waistband of your pants. I like it when I am riding because the phone is with me. I can slide it to different spots on my waist so that it isn't in my way when I working barrels. I have also attached it to my exercise pants when I was jogging outside. We were traveling last weekend and I saw it at a large truck stop. You can buy them in different sizes. |

I put mine in the front band of my pants as well. I want my phone on me at all times. I have been bucked off and seriously injured and not sure what I would have done without my phone. |

Location: South Georgia | My husband bought me a pretty Running Roan Tack phone case that goes on my back billet when he was concerned about my safety while out riding alone. Not sure he thought it through though, because if I fall, my phone runs away with her! LOL
I really just use it so I have my phone handy for pics and/or to answer when someone texts or calls me. |

If I am understanding you right, how do you make your Apple Watch work when your phone isn't near it?
If yours does, let us all know how to do it. |

I'm glad I'm not the only one that does that. It's the only place I can put it where it won't fall out and it isn't overly annoying and uncomfortable. |

Location: MN | I feel much better with my phone in my running belt on me. I got bucked off 1-1/2 yrs ago and having my phone on me and not on the saddle was great. I had 3 broken ribs, fracture shoulder blade and a badly Sprained hamstring. |

| Been bucked off ... if I didn't have my phone one me ... it would have been gone with the horse. What's hard now is the phones are getting too big to carry on your person. With that said, I've used my running belt. |

Location: Way up North | Really it boils down to where you are riding and if you are alone. I make one that ties to the front of your saddle. I originaly made them to have a handy way to keep my phone close while at barrel races or ranch rodeos when I'm on my horse for hours on end but there is always someone around to get help if something were to happen but I don't have to have it on me or in my way. I still use it when I'm at home riding alone because I have lost my phone out of my pocket one too many times and my arena is right by my house and the road that is well traveled so I don't have as big of a risk as some people do. |
