Not astheticly pleasing nor decently functional when walking with the X in front pocket. Not ideal as I use various equipment in a public gym (membership).
Pipetto has a magnetic folio case with detachable inner shell. The folio had magnets which are strong enough to hold the phone if it's open like a book. DocArtisan has a case where the magnets are in the hard shell and not the folio. They have a video on their site showing the phone attached to the inside of the hood of a car.
Slightly better suggesion, yet unfortunately like Eeyseeyou's suggestion above, it means I'll still need to go around the gym to affix mounts before I can actually attach my phone.
Right now for seated/standing (dumbbell, hammer, barbell - supinated/pronated - curls) I can just set my phone against the dumbbells by the mirror and use either camera and run recording vai Apple Watch.
What I'm looking for is a case that by itself can
mount to a metal frame of gym equipment (Smith / squat rack, leg exention, lat pulldown etc) and then I can begin recording myself while I'm doing a set.
This is VERY helpful for holding myself accountable, seeing proper form to execute the right function I'm after. Sure I can have a gym buddy but mine have different work hours and sleep hours each day than I do. Furthermore, getting a random gym rat - you never know if A) they'll pay attention to spotting you when you need it most, B) they know HOW to spot properly (if you have to ask or even think how difficult this can be; you haven't worked out long enough or really pushed yourself hard enough), and C) I'm particular about others' hygene near me (I don't want to smell balls while I'm bench pressing or armpits when I'm squatting).
Looks like I'll be hunting for a micro-suction case or find a way to turn an existing case UAG into one.
