Hi all,
I'm really struggling to find running shorts in the UK with these type of pockets on the side. I've worn away the brand name of my current shorts, which I love, and I can't find replacements. I can't believe that everyone else is just using "normal" pockets, or armbands. Here's a perfect looking pair, but only available in the US.

I mean, shorts with these kind of pockets do exist. I'm just surprised that they're so hard to find, and that the choice is apparently very limited.

Not nice for warm conditions but they do have the benefit of not advertising the fact your carrying a mobile.
seems to be what you're looking for
The type of pocket on the ebay ones are ideal, but it seems odd that they'd put it in the lining so that it's more difficult to get to your phone to check pace/time/whatever.
I'm amazed this isn't more of a regular feature on running shorts. Or maybe I'm overestimating the amount of jiggling that will happen with normal pockets...
Thanks again!
Ah, that looks like it could be a solution.
Mainly I want something that allows my phone to be held firmly in place without flapping around, but also allows easy access if I need to check my pace or location.
These are definitely on the shortlist now. Thank you!
I always put the phone in a plastic bag cos it gets sweaty otherwise.

I have the female version with the skirt attached and bought them specifically for the pockets to fit my gels and bits in for long runs... probably could just fit my phone in the pocket.. but then I'm also thinking about buying a small phone to carry on runs just for safety.
Also got a flip belt.. its ok, just about fits my phone in, but have had gels fall out. if you have multiple things in it which are smooth then there is a risk that there is no friction to keep them in place.
