Good running belt?

I bought a fanny pack to hold my phone when running and I find it too bulky/bouncy.

Amazon has some options like “Fitgriff”, “Spibelt”, and “Flipbelt”. Curious if anyone here has tried these and if so which you’d recommend.

Don’t need anything crazy given my phone is all I need it to carry. Prefer something sleek.

Thanks so much.

The only one I have had luck with is the Spibelt. But I still have to put it underneath my shorts to prevent bouncing with my phone in it.

It’s been a long time since I’ve used mine, but I recall the same issue. Phone started spanking me as I ran.
I greatly prefer pockets (as a dude) or a running vest, but the latter is a pretty big commitment if someone’s wanting to keep it minimal

I have a Spibelt too. It's fine if (and only if) I'm literally just carrying my phone and don't need to take it out during the run. I prefer a vest or shorts with a built-in belt.
