Great question! I'm a woman. Generally my riding pants don't have pockets and when I wear jeans I can't trust the shallow pockets to keep my phone secure. I don't normally wear a jacket when riding.
Also, not that you mentioned this but I wanted to bring it up, I don't like wearing headphones in traffic for safety. I have worn wireless earbuds, but they fell out too many times and I'd have to go back and search for them.
Fair enough. Shame on me for making assumptions based on a username :) I should have included bag as well as pockets.
Anyway, I can understand why you want to use a phone holder if you're not that keen on earbuds. I don't like cycling with a full set either, so I either use just one (thankfully mine are quite snug and haven't fallen out.. yet) or I use bone conducting headphones that wrap around my head. They're not much for listening to music, but great for podcasts and you can still hear what's going on around you.
