How do I attach Switch Joy-Cons to legs?
I've heard some people use cellphone armbands. Does anyone have any recommendations for ones that Joy-Cons fit in well (and also are tight enough for ankles so they don't slip or slide.)

The same. I use Armbands for both smartphones and Joycon.
Thank you. I also did some searching and found some have used wrist bands for Just Dance [smile.amazon.com] so I might give that a try (or this one that seems pretty adjustable since also marketed for Ring Fit Adventure [smile.amazon.com] ).

Also, since I plan on using an Android phone in combination with the Joy-Cons, does it matter what kind of pants I'm wearing (tight vs loose)? (I thought shorts like these [www.amazon.com] might be good for keeping the phone in place.)

I plan on playing Skyrim and Fallout 4 VR, so since I'll be running a ton, figured I might as well get the setup as accurate (in terms of real life movement corresponding to in-game movement), consistent and comfortable as possible. Unfortunately most bands seem oriented towards arms or thighs (as opposed to ankles), so didn't know if they'd be too tight or loose (same with gym short pockets being too loose for the phone, but at least there are tighter pants.) But maybe I'm just overthinking it.

These pants looks good. I'm thinking to buy one for me. Thank you for sharing it.

What headset and controllers do you have? Oculus Quest 1/Rift S/CV1 controllers have a magnet in the batteries cover, so I would recommend to put the smartphone in the back pocket of the pants to avoid magnetic anomalies. Remember that we detect the orientation using the magnetometer (compas) sensor.

Oculus Quest 2 removed the magnet from the battery cover, so in this case (and in the case of the rest of VR controllers) you could put the smartphone in the side pockets.
Awesome, thanks pix. I have the Quest 2 (plan on using Virtual Desktop), so sounds like the magnet battery cover issue shouldn't be a problem.
