RooSport The Magnetic, Attachable Running Pocket (Large)

This pocket has two pouches. One is open at the top and sits next to your skin inside your running shorts, and the other is zippered and sits away from your skin inside your running shorts. If you tighten your shorts enough, your phone will sit securely in the open pouch with no bouncing. My iPhone 4s fit nicely inside. I haven't carried keys etc., but I think they would be safe and secure in the zippered pocket. I've had two 7mi runs, and had no problems with comfort or bouncing. Unfortunately there are several caveats that come along with this type of running pocket. Based on my two runs, GPS accuracy definitely suffers with my phone in my shorts. My run data showed me cutting diagonally through city blocks, and running a half a block to one side of my actual route. RunMeter tries to calculate stop time, and found 30-90s of stop time in every mile. Two runs over the same course showed very different distance and time. My phone case was damp at the end of my runs, so on longer runs I would have to take extra steps to keep it dry. Once the phone is tucked away, access is pretty inconvenient. I had my drawstrings pretty tight, so it took extra effort to reach into my shorts and pry the phone out, being careful not to pull the headphone plug (threaded through the little hole). Then, with the phone tethered down nether, it was a bit tricky to operate on its short leash. And then it has to all go back into the pouch. Don't try this while running, and once you've done it once you'll be done forever. I tried attaching the pouch to the waist belt of my running backpack, but without the shorts to hold it, the bouncing was too much. I plan to keep my RooSport for times when I need to carry keys/cards/money, but it won't be carrying my phone on my daily runs.

I have to say that I love, love, love the RooSport! I have used it on short runs, long training runs, and a recent half marathon. I've also used it to keep my ID and phone on me without having to carry a purse. Once I folded it over my waistband and started running, I didn't even know it was there. It didn't move around, chafe, or lose it's contents. The zippered pocket held my key, and the larger velcro pocket held my cell phone (a droid), ID, train ticket, and money with room to spare!It isn't completely waterproof, as my train ticket and phone did get a little damp from running for so long and sweating through it. Even though they were a little damp, it was totally worth it not to have to deal with a running belt like Spibelt. As a woman with a waist smaller than my hips, running belt and fanny packs tend to work their way up and become loose around my tummy. The RooSport didn't move an inch and didn't put any extra pressure around my tummy that I normally would get from a traditional running belt. Aside from my shoes and jog bra, this little product is my favorite! I can't get over how awesome it is!

The RooSport is a magnetic pocket you can attach to your workout pants to be able to run with ID, keys, and phone – without being weighed down.You can leave your gym bag locked in a gym locker (or car trunk) but still have your essentials on you.And for your runner friends that like to take workout selfies and/or run with music – your phone is easily accessible.I wear my Roosport to every November Project Boston workout and every outdoor run. (I run in a city – so I want to have my phone on me in case I come across a law & order intro scene. Also, it’s just a good idea to have ID on you when you run – god forbid you get injured and pass out.)

I've only used it twice so far. One dry run (literally a test run in dry conditions) and then for real in a wet 1/2 marathon at Disney World. I used it to hold 3 Gu packs and a rather chunky assortment of rental car keys (you know - the metal loop, plastic info tab and two big remote/keys). Everything fit and stayed in place - until I tried to retrieve one of the Gu's from the "slot" section after about 8 wet miles. I had to walk for about a minute to retrieve a Gu and reposition the pack securely. I couldn't tell if the magnet was sticking well with the bulk of the keys and my wet shorts and RooSport pack bunching up. Everything turned out OK - nothing got lost - but I did feel like it wasn't very secure.

I use this to store my keys and energy supplies in while running. It is always comfortable while clipped to the waist band of my running tights, even on long runs. It would also work great when just out for walks or bike rides. Be warned that it is not waterproof so your stuff will get wet with sweat and/or rain. Also, the zip pocket is impossible to get to while running. Anything you need to access quickly needs to go in the middle pocket (that comfortably fits my iPhone 5s) that is not secured. Overall, though, I like this pocket and have used it successfully on many, many runs.

For what it is, this product passes as a container for holding a large phone clasped to your shorts. However, once you put in your phone and tuck this into your shorts, don't bother take your phone back out without having to stop. This means that you pretty much have to be at a standstill to effectively apply and remove this to your shorts. Therefore, not great if you plan on doing anything more than a casual jog with this product and are ok with frequently stopping to readjust and check your phone.

I've been using this on a regular basis at the gym for the last two months. I put my phone and key fob with gym card in it. I was unable to wear it on the inside of my gym pant so I wear it backwards. Wearing it inside made it too bulky and created too much of a gap between my skin and compression pants I wear. I use it for iphone 4s. Occasionally I don't get the magnetic flap over my pant good enough so it has slipped off but that was my error.

It is really small, my iphone barely fits in it. If you have a larger case (like lifeproof) I don't think it will fit. The magnet works pretty good as long as the pants are not too thick. I used this on our trip to Disneyland and it worked great for a small money clip, but not great for my phone, which was ok since I could put my phone in my pocket.

Very useful - lots of my clothes don't have pockets, so I can just hook this onto my waist band.
