I hope you carry some ID on you. People do have accidents, get hit by accident, etc. You should have an emergency # to call too, should you have any head injury and get knocked unconscious. I'm the worrier type, so I'm just thinking out loud here.

I usually don't, but I will now. Never thought about it. Thanks!

I have no problem at all being separated from my phone for the short time I am on my daily walk or swim. They can leave me a message. I used to have to carry a beeper for my job - that got me over the need to constantly be on an electronic leash. It was NEVER good news when that dang thing went off.

Texting while walking is a misstep demeanor.

Fitbit can track steps, it can't call for help.

If your health is that iffy, perhaps you should get a treadmill and stay home.

Don't be silly. Anyone can have an accident no matter what health! Also, What if you see someone else that needs help?

This! It's not just about me and my own health has nothing to do with tripping over a rock, getting hit by a car, or seeing someone else have an accident. My friend was walking a trail by her house and a rattlesnake bit her. Her health had nothing to do with that. She didn't have a phone on her and had to shout for help and try to climb the hill back to the house so they could hear her.

If you're out there without your own phone, instead of being critical you should be thrilled that some of us are carrying ours because we might be the ones who help you if you're ever in need.

Spibelt expandable spandex stretch belt w/carrying pouch, V31563, $17.46 + $4.47, 5 colors

I like the Spibelt. It should hold that phone and it's very easy to use. Before that, I had a small nylon waist bag that held my phone, ID, insurance card, house key, and asthma inhaler.

Even if I managed to leave my phone with only a house key, I can't imagine leaving without identification. If I fall down a ditch or get hit by a car or anything else happens, I don't want to wind up a Jane Doe in the hospital or the morgue.

My thought, too. I only have a cell phone for emergencies anyway so I carry it, along with ID & health insurance card just in case.

How about something like this?

it's $8 on the bay... Vera Bradley has some too.. can't remember if the ones I'm thinking of have open window... it's called a ""hipster"" I think...

My granddaughter has the Vera Bradley mini hipster, or crossbody...I forget. But it is big enough for the phone has Id slots, money slots and is very lightweight. The strap is light, thin, and seems barely there, so it is a good walking around purse

Thanks. I'll go over and try to find it. It might work great if it is big enough. I can't decide if the crossbody or the belt would be the most comfortable. What key words did you use to search? Thanks.

This is what I had in mind in the beginning, but it is slightly too short for my phone. VB needs to make one for the Samsung Note 2 and 3! Thanks though.
