SPIbelt Running Belt Original Pocket, No-Bounce Waist Bag for Runners Athletes Men and Women fits iPhone and Android Phones (Coral with Black Zipper, One Size)

This was a fake, not an actual Spibelt. The multi colored belt in my pic is the one I already had for a year. I use it everyday and wanted to order a new one in black with purple zipper. The fake one actually has 2 pouches, less stretchy fabric and larger buckles. I will be returning it and may need to order directly from company to make sure to get actual product that I ordered.

I had high hopes for this belt to carry my phone for running. It initially felt great but within a mile or so it started bouncing and eventually the pocket would start to flip over. I assumed I just didn't have it tight enough. I tightened the belt and on my next run the same thing, after about a mile or so it would start bouncing and would get worse as I continued my run. No matter how tight I make the belt, it always starts to bounce in the middle of my run. Also, after just a couple uses the elastic near the pocket on each side started to look damaged. I assume the belt would be fine for someone who would be using it for walking, but definitely not good for running.

I ordered this belt on the recommendation of the Wirecutter as the best running gear for holding phone and keys. I have used the belt and I am very happy with the purchase. I keep my phone, keys, inhaler, credit card in the expandable pocket. It fits them all. The belt is adjustable and stays tight on my waist through the run. Really forget that it is there sometimes because there is no chaffing or bouncing or distraction from discomfort. I am 100% happy with the belt and I would recommend it to any runner or jogger. The belt is adjustable to fit many body types so the fit can be customized to your waist. This was important to me because other belts I saw recommended had more size ranges and so you had to pick one size and hope you don’t ever lose or gain weight. This also means you could share it between yourself and another member of your household if you both run on separate occasions. I appreciate that the product is made in the USA and this also influenced my decision to purchase. So I feel good that the product works, is adaptable, and supports my values with my dollars.

I bought this to go hiking in Sedona thinking it would be a convenient way to have my phone along for taking pictures and it would be out of my way and snug to my body for bouldering. With all that being true, it was not easy to get my phone in and out easily for picture taking. Anyone who has been to Sedona, there are a lot of picture taking opportunities. :) This is will be great for running to have my phone along but not needing to access it often. Room enough for my phone and key fob but that is about it. Nice quality and comfortable.

I just got this last night, opened the package and thought I made a $20 mistake, the belt was in a small plastic bag rolled up the size of a racquetball. Unraveling it the pouch was VERY slim. I bought it to carry my phone with me.. a Galaxy Note 2 which is pretty much as big as they get these days, and definitely not something I can stand carrying in my hand or want on an armband.The Electric Kool-Aid Acid test was this morning. I popped the phone out of the billfold case I keep it in and slipped it into the stretching pouch.. FIT!, Even with a headphone jack protruding. Only other things I put in there were a housekey and an ID (could still fit cash and a CC if I had to) After finding the right position for it I was off. Several times I actually had to reach to my belly to verify it was still there (strapped over my shorts, under the shirt), it's that comfortable. (OK.. you still hear music.. why would you wonder if it was there? I can not answer that.. the world is laden with unfathomable mysteries)If this can fit the Note 2 (without a case, at least) then it can fit just about any phone. and it was the regular model I purchased, not the large sized one.

I am curvy, with a smaller waist/torso and larger hips and I was very worried that this belt wouldn't stay put. The reviews from girls with curves were mixed but I took a chance and ordered it. I am so glad I did, because it's worked perfectly and for the 1.5 years I've owned it, I haven't gone on a run without it.I wear it very low on my hips, and have adjusted it so that it's very snug. I have never had a problem with it riding up toward my waist. No matter how many miles I run, it stays put and is so comfortable, I forget I'm wearing it.It's big enough to hold my iPhone, ID, a little cash, and a key or two. I overloaded it once (my stuff plus my husband's phone and keys) and that caused the pouch to bounce like crazy as I ran. That was the one and only time I offered to carry stuff for someone else... when I carry just my things, I have no problems with it bouncing.The belt is very well constructed. As previously mentioned, I've had it for about 1.5 years... It's still in great condition with very little signs of wear despite regular use.I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a comfortable belt to hold a few necessities while running or walking.**Update 11/30/14**I switched phones to the iPhone 6 (regular size, not plus) and I have a very minimal case on my phone (Spigen Air Skin, which is supposed to be 0.4mm thin). My phone DOES still fit in the SPI belt, but it's a pretty tight fit.

Had this while now but wanted to use it properly before writing review. Great belt, lots of adjustment, fits a Galaxy S7 perfectly. Can be a bit fiddly to get phone in and out when running but fine when walking/stationary. Minimal bounce when the waistband is correctly adjusted (I wear mine more on my hips than round my waist and get pretty much no bounce at all). Material seems well stitched together and main pocket has lots of elasticity. Bit of a sponge when it comes to sweat though so needs regular washing. I also put my phone in a sandwich bag to protect it from moisture while running. I don't use this at the gym but if i did I'd imagine it could get in the way when doing weights or other exercises involving lying down but then I guess you could wear it round the front instead if that bothers you. Great product.

So, it's well made, the belt holds its position so you don't need to adjust it every time you use it, and if positioned correctly it doesn't bounce - I found that for me that meant at the front and slightly offset to one side so it's got somewhere to nestle (I'm skinny so it bounced around if on my stomach and felt uncomfortable if I put it in the middle of my back. After a few minutes in the right spot, I didn't notice it was there during a 10 mile run...which is what you want.However, I had bought it to hold my phone while using a running app and the problem with belts is they aren't great for GPS accuracy - you really need the phone higher and unshielded by your body (i.e. in an armband). However, as a way of just carrying a phone, keys, etc it's great.

I bought this so that I could carry my iPhone 6 around with me during the summer (no pockets big enough in my summer clothes). It is almost perfect. It sits neatly on my hips and I am barely aware that it is there. The pouch is large/ expands enough to take not only the iPhone but also a hanky or a set of keys. My only minor complaint is that getting the phone in and out of the pouch is a little cumbersome. I think though that it need to be a snug fit in order for the pouch to be so comfortable and unobtrusive to wear. The belt might not work so well if you are someone who is always using your phone.I have not used it for running so cannot comment on that.

I got this SPI belt primarily to hold Gels & fuel while running Obstacle Races. I have to say, it doesn't disappoint! Lots of other runners complain that their gels fell off their belt, but no such trouble for me as I just zipped it up and presto!. It easily held 8 gels & an energy bar. It never snagged on anything and didn't feel in the way either. Plus you can put your empty wrapper back in and store until you reach bins.I also use it for running and the advert showed an iPhone...when I saw it I thought 'No way is my phone gonna fit'...But...The pouch stretches so much I was able to fit my Galaxy S4, my iTouch, key and a gel !! Superb item and a must !

This is a fantastic little belt, I bought it for my daughter to carry her mobile phone in. She uses it every day at school. It’s a perfect size, it’s light and she forgets she has it on. I also have one which I use while running,my one has the loops for carrying gels and also my phone. It’s great it doesn’t move at all or bounce about.I would highly recommend it for either running or every day use.
