SPIbeltRunning Belt Original Pocket, No-Bounce Waist Bag for Runners, Athletes Men and Women, fits Smartphones iPhone 6 7 8 X, Workout Fanny Pack, Expandable Sport Pouch, Adjustable Lime

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.

This belt is exactly what I needed. I have a large phone so when I run I'm always paranoid that it is going to bounce out of my side pockets that I literally started safety pinning them closed! 🤣 And even then I was still constantly checking it. This belt fits my phone perfectly (samsung s21 ultra) and gives me peace of mind while I run. The phone still gets condensation on it when I run from my sweat (the phone is waterproof but it builds up under the protective sticker for the camera lens) so I may have to add a piece of extra fabric like a towel to help but all in all I give this all the stars!

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 think this belt may serve its purpose and it certainly appears well made. I like that it is lightweight and that there is a wide choice of color. I got the lime. However it is not nearly as nice as an older one I have had that I got on Amazon by another seller. This only has one pocket. I spent so much time trying to find a replacement that did not have a zipper as the zipper on my old one finally gave out after a few years. So I finally said I will get the Spibelt, recommended by so many. But I prefer my old belt and may get one of those if still available. This one barely fits my iPhone 11 in its case with many cards in it...luckily it does stretch. So time will tell. I don’t hate it but I personally do not see the big deal with this brand. Perhaps those who recommended it had not seen any others. I know this was one of the first brands to do these. There are many other options out there now though. Also, one size fits all... I am considered pretty slender and my waist and hips are not huge (I am 5’4” and 140, 28” waist, 39” hips) and this needs to be nearly all the way slid open on me. So, just a caution there. Will not work for the larger or more muscular person. I like not having the elastic not all the way slid open personally. Anyway, I don’t think this will serve me poorly but will it be my favorite? Maybe not. Maybe if I just want to go running sometime with just a few items in the pouch vs the whole phone, it might be awesome. I feel with so much weight it might flop around too much.

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've always avoided running belts because I didn't want things bouncing up and down, but needed something for my phone and following reviews went with this. It holds the contents tight because it is a very elastic pouch and then the belt keeps the contents tucked firmly either in the front of your stomach or in the small of your back. When I'm running I quickly forget it's there.The only downside is it's a bit fiddly to get things in and out, but I load it in the car and don't unload it until I've a coffee to pay for.

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.

Positives: has a zip, can swallow a surprising amount of stuff. Negatives: only one pocket, so when evrrything mives around your keys rub against your phone screen and if you want to get your phone, everything else comes out too. Also needs to be tightened so much that it leaves marks, yet still jumps around on your waist and flips round so the zip ends up on the inside.
