Secure Magnet
Secure, Comfortable, and Actually Stays Put! I’ve tried a lot of running belts and fanny packs, but this Running Buddy Belt Bag (XXL) is by far the best one yet. It’s roomy enough to hold my phone, keys, cash, and cards, and still stays slim and low-profile while I run. The no-bounce, chafe-free design really lives up to the promise — even during longer runs and workouts, it stays securely in place without sliding, bouncing, or irritating my skin. The magnetic closure is surprisingly strong, and the water-resistant material keeps my phone safe from sweat or light rain. I also appreciate that it doesn’t feel bulky at all. The 7 x 4 inch size is perfect for larger phones (mine fits with a case), and there’s still space for other small items. Whether I’m running, biking, hiking, or just walking the dog, it’s become an everyday essential. Pros: ✔️ Truly bounce-free and comfortable ✔️ Fits large phones and essentials ✔️ Strong magnetic closure ✔️ Lightweight and water-resistant ✔️ Great for both men and women Cons: ❌ Not ideal for holding water bottles ❌ No headphone port (but most people use wireless anyway) If you’re looking for a high-quality running belt that actually stays in place and holds what you need without the bulk, I highly recommend this one. Worth every penny!

Perfect purse and pocket substitute
I'm a practical woman. I hate carrying purses because I want both hands and arms free at all times. I constantly complain that women's clothes don't have enough pockets. When they do, they're often so small that even a credit card won't fit inside completely. I smashed my last phone when it slipped out of the pocket of my jeans that it only fit halfway inside. My upgraded phone with a larger screen (Galaxy S4) challenged my purse-free lifestyle more than ever. I needed something that would allow me to carry my phone and essential cards (license, credit card, etc.) with me safely without tying up an arm or a hand. My phone organizes my work day by keeping me going from meeting to meeting with access to my schedule and all the documents I need, so I couldn't carry around something too large or something that could easily slip out of my arms. In addition to omitting pockets, most women's dress pants do not have belt loops. Anything that clips on a belt is out and I couldn't bring myself to strap on a fanny pack while meeting clients. Enter the Solution: Running Buddy. It fits my phone in one pocket well without the case and barely with the large-ish case that I bought. If I leave the case off my phone, it can comfortably fit at least 10 cards plus some cash in the other pocket. I've been keeping it on the front of my pants, where it disappears under my shirt. The magnets are strong and keep it in place. I could store my wallet on the refrigerator. It's also small enough to fit in a jacket pocket (some women's outdoor clothing still feature a limited number of full-size pockets! But you can't wear a jacket when it's 90 degrees outside). I'm not a runner, but I can imagine that it might pull some loose-fitting shorts down if you pack it heavy. I do quite a bit of hiking, however. Sometimes I bike to the woods after work. It never interferes with my 5+ mile hikes wearing my biking shorts/pants. An added benefit is that I no longer have to ask my husband to carry my belongings in one of his 17 pockets, a request that invariably incited scoffs, grumbles, and sighs. Did the Running Buddy change my life? Perhaps not. But it liberated me from the limitations of women's fashion and allows me to live exactly the way I want to: hands free, arms free, with a place to carry everything important.

Just what I needed
Ordered the XXL and it is just what I wanted. Very strong magnets, didn't budge when I wore it. Held my phone with a case, tissues, and keys for my morning walk. Could hold more - money and/or cards along with everything else. Well made. Glad I purchased it.

Great, but not perfect
I bought this pouch to use all the time when I don't want to carry around a big purse, but still need my credit cards/cash/phone. It works okay for that purpose and for running, but there are some issues. Pros: It has two pockets, which is great for separating my cell phone from things that might scratch the screen. It is the perfect size to easily fit my LG phone. Magnets are strong and hold even on jeans, in front or back of my pants. Plenty of room for all the credit cards/cash and even a key or two. Smooth fabric doesn't rub or irritate my skin Velcro at top and flap appear to be secure enough that nothing falls out Cons (ie. my wish list): I wish the inner pocket was zippered or had velcro all the way across the top (it's just in the center), so I was 100% certain nothing would fall out. It doesn't feel secure enough to keep change for instance. If you are sitting down, it is likely at least one of the magnets will come loose, which means you have to reach into your pants when you stand up to realign the magnets. You have to reach into your pants to align the magnets...which is okay, but can be awkward. If you sweat at all while wearing this, the fabric next to your skin soaks up water, which means your pants are usually wet underneath the pouch. If your pants are loose and you have a cell phone in this pouch, it has a tendency to pull your pants down...just from the weight (not anything to do with the pouch. The magnets are along the sides of the pouch. I wish they were along the bottom of the pouch. Just seems like it would make this stay in place a little better. The logo on the front is not very sturdy. Probably not a big deal, because it doesn't affect the rest of the pouch, which seems to be quality material Overall, it works, I would buy it again. I like it for going for a jog or running errands with my kids. I use it often instead of a larger purse, but there are some things that would improve it.

Ja der Preis, ist überzogen keine Frage, letztendlich ist meine Frau aber sehr begeistert, sie benutzt die Tasche regelmäßig zum Laufen auch und gerade bei schlechtem Wetter und sie funktioniert, stört nicht und gewährt schnellen Zugriff aufs Smartphone.

THE QUALITY OF THIS POUCH IS EXCELLENT & MY IPHONE 8, WITH IT'S CASE ON (THE CASE IS A FLIP OVER LEATHER ONE WHICH COVERS BOTH SIDES OF THE PHONE - SO IT IS CERTAINLY NOT SLIM!) EASILY FITS INSIDE IT. THE POUCH IS EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE TO WEAR & FEELS COMPLETELY 100% SECURE. THERE ARE 2 COMPARTMENTS INSIDE THE POUCH, ONE OF WHICH IS FASTENED WITH A VELCRO TAB. THERE IS A 2" ZIP ON ONE OF THE SIDE SEAMS THRO' TO POP A HEADPHONE LEAD THROUGH TO YOUR PHONE IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT BLUE TOOTH ENABLED. THE POUCH ALSO CAME WITH 2 FREE "BUDDY BLOCKER" CREDIT CARD HOLDERS WHICH PROTECT YOUR CARDS AGAINST UNAUTHORISED SCANS! MY ORDER ARRIVED THE NEXT DAY & I WOULD UNRESERVEDLY RECOMMEND BOTH THE PRODUCT & THE SELLER "GIZMO GADGETS".

ランニングの時には大きい方を使ってみましたが、 このタイプでもいろいろ入りそうです。 携帯、ICカード、家の鍵、免許証を入れれば、 どこでも行けそう。 1サイズなので、サイズ選びで失敗がないのがいいとこですね。 もちろんランニングの時に使っても問題なさそう。

Ich benutze die Tasche ausschließlich beim Line-Dance. Hier tut sie mir bisher gute Dienste. Ich habe die Wertsachen am Körper, kann auf eine Gürteltasche verzichten, die aufträgt.

I bought this to hold my Samsung Note 4 whilst running and weight training. It holds firm and does not bounce around which is great. The phone is a tight fit but fortunately there is a small zipped access slit which I can plug my headphones into my phone so I can use it for my intended use. Unfortunately there is very little room for anything else.. perhaps a key on its own and one gel for running if I needed but I haven't tried. I do think it's a little expensive for effectively what it is and given the space limitations but then it is a compromise...stick with the bum bag which bounces around but has loads of storage or go for the pouch for stability but limited to my phone and headphones.. Good concept and would be 5 stars if was a more reasonable £15 region price point. *** ADDENDUM 8th Sept 2016 *** Star rating increased to 5 (was 4) I have now been using this pouch for approximately 8 months and despite its space limitations referred to in my original review I have grown accustomed to it and have used nothing else (pouch/bumbag/belt etc wise) since. I have found that I can fit in a key (car or house, not a bunch), card/cash if needed along with my phone and has proven itself invaluable when training. Fastened to the front or rear of my clothing it has held very securely and very accessible and convenient. However and this is really why I have upgraded my review to the full 5 stars is that after this time the pouch had developed a couple of manufacturing faults. I contacted the seller (Bluegizmo) via email including a couple of photos highlighting/showing the faults and after a couple of very courteous emails within the next working day I received a free of charge replacement and a genuine apology for the problems with the pouch. You can't get better customer service than that, so perhaps I should reconsider my original statement..at least here you clearly do get what you pay for..buy a premium product, get first rate service...I just hope this second one lasts longer than the first!
