I always wanted to have a forearm mounted PDA with way more abilities than PDAs had when I was younger and current technology seems to make it possible easily today although I've never seen it on other people.

Do you guys know of any properly working available forearm mounts?

If I'd find a smartphone with great battery life, I'd love to have something like this.

Putting an additional battery inside of the mount would be reasonable I guess.

Pip-Boy 3000 design and 3D printing data for inspiration:

I use a Forearm Mount for my Ipod Touch for running or Gymn Purposes, its a Frotteband whit a windowed Poked in it where you can put a Device in Ipod Touch 5 and 6 Sice in,

Or a Smartphone which is the same sice..

Works good, looks a but weyrd, but you can use the Ipod also whyle you run..

Sounds interesting. Is it possible to fit an additional powerbank somewhere in/on it?

Although a Geiger-Mueller counter would be really cool too, I could live without this for now (until the next war). ^^

There is some stuff being put together for US military use that includes a smartphone.  I thought I had seen a few mock ups of everything that had it mounted on the arm, but now that I am looking for it all I have found is a chest mounted one that is flipped up when needed.
 
Well, if the power bank is small enought:

On the oposide site of this thing is a poket for keys..

Its made for running and something, maybe i find some time to make pictures..
 
Just search for "Smartphone Armband" on Amazon or something, they're more for you upper arm, but you could probably put them on your forearm. Some have plastic covers, but I'm sure there's some where you can still access the screen
 
The limited Pib Boy Collectors edition of recent Fallout has such an Smartphone holder in PipBoy design, if you are lucky to get one. 

Besides that I know about military "Armbands" to hold smartphones or little handhelds. Things like that for example:

Nice find although quite pricey, not my style and not available around here as it seems.

The one I've found that could be the base of a nicely modded one isn't available in my size anymore:

Nothing inportant, just the question if this is one famous german commedian, the Answer, and "Near but still false" ..

My opinion in this forearms mount is, that its looks better than the shouldermount type, but still weyrd..

But as your anyway looks whyrd in your Running cloths, it dosnt make much diverent..

Some yeahrs ago, i used to carry my Mp3 Player for running on a Lanyuard under my t-shirt, but on this possition it isnt much confortable and to dangouros for the device to drain in sweet..

On the forearm, the Ipod is druy, and its more convortable..
 
Saw today at gym a girl whit another forearm mount iphone/Ipod Touch holder :)

Im not the only whit such a thing..

But shee had normal cord headphones, and it was a diverent type of forearm mount whit some frist on it whyle my is a arm sweat band..

Also i use bluetooth headphones at sport because there a bit saver if you work whit the muskle make machines at gym....

And whitout cable, you can put the ipod in a waterproof back to run in rain..
