| Last night my mare was feeling quite frisky and I ended up having to bail off of her at one point. Luckily, I was not hurt at all, but since I am often riding alone it made me realize the importance of having a cell phone on your body. I hate putting them in my pockets since it seems like they can easily fall out, and I've never been a fan of sticking it in my bra or anywhere else. I have this thing called a Flipbelt that I originally bought for running, to keep my keys and cell in. I've been wearing it while I ride lately and I love it. It's pretty easy access to your cell phone, but stays close to your body so it's not bouncing around (like a fanny pack or something). Anyway, just wanted to pass along this tip to anyone who may be looking for a way to carry your cell! I am not affiliated with this company...just like their product!

I've worn mine a lot, and have even worn it to concerts and places I need to take my ID, money, keys, etc but don't want to carry a purse. If you're wearing a semi-long shirt (tshirt length) you can't see it underneath and it's comfortable to wear. I'm wearing a size small in that picture. My friend bought the extra small, which is what was recommended for her height/weight, but it's tight on her and me. If you're borderline in size, I'd probably go up which is what I did. They stretch a lot, but nobody likes feeling their guts are being squeezed out lol. |

Location: So. Cali. | I too am usually out riding alone. I have a phone case holder that clips to my hip and actually was lucky enough to find one that holds my iphone and sits horizontally (vertical sometime get in the way). Defiantly important to have your phone conveniently handy! This is a neat belt tho! And less noticable than my bulk case sometimes! haha |

Location: Do I hear Banjos? | Hey thanks for the tip! I always have mine in an ArmBand holder but strapped around the top of my half chap/below my knee when riding. BUT...where I live and trail ride now we often cross water and some deeper creeks/rivers. So I have been putting it in my pack. Not good if we part ways.
I just ordered one of these FlipBelts...great idea and I can use it hiking too. Thanks!

Where do you find one? I hate carrying mine in my pocket because when I get up out of my saddle, it kind of stabs me in the leg. |

I had that problem with a different running belt - a Spibelt. It wouldn't roll all the way up but it did wiggle and move my shirt up and drive me bonkers. So now I clip it around my rib cage right under my bra. I look SUPER COOL but it works. |
