FlipBelt Classic Running Belt, Phone Holder for Running, Money Belt Pouch

Fantastic product! I've had this for about a month and it is really helpful. I am able to carry my iPhone XS with a case on it, my keys (which have a cord & hook attached to the belt so your keys will not fall out), and a few cards if need be. Whether I choose to walk or run, it doesn't make a difference. Everything stays put As far as sizing goes, I have between a 34-36 waist & I'm 6'3". FlipBelt recommends that I order a large, but I tried on a large in a store and it felt uncomfortably tight. I ordered an XL it's a great fit. Nice & snug without feeling like it's too tight. If you're on the high end of FlipBelts sizing chart I would recommend going to the next size up. As a side note, I wear this just below my hips and I am slightly "rumpalicous" and my backside is a tad "bubblier" than many guys my size so that may affect how the belt fits me Update: 3/23/19: Still an awesome product and really well made. I'm able to smoothly fit my iPhone XS Max, with a slim Otterbox case, and it stays securely inside. What I wrote a couple of months ago is still true, that if you have larger hips or a bubble butt, you can go a size larger and the belt will stay above your hips just fine. Even though I've lost over 30lbs & on my way to 40, and I'm down almost 2 pant sizes, the larger belt still fits well. What I wrote earlier still applies, that if you're near the high side of FlipBelts sizing chart and you have larger hips or a bigger butt, go to the next size up Since I began wearing the belt I prefer it to sit just below my waist, right at my hips & slightly on my butt, and for the most part it stays there. Over the past couple of months I've been getting my 6 miles of fast walking in everyday and the belt does really well. Over this past week, though, I've transitioned to running for almost a mile of that, and combined with my weight loss the belt does not stay where I'd like it and I must wear it around my waist or it will fall off. But it still works fantastically and I would absolutely buy it again just 1 size smaller

I purchased this belt on the recommendation of a friend who swore that this was, in fact, the best running belt ever. EVER (she really did yell that part). Well, I am happy to report that she was correct. I ordered this in a size medium based on the chart because I fell somewhere in the middle of that and a small. I probably should have gone for the small, but no big deal. I actually just put one safety pin on each side, at the hip, and I'm totally good to go. I run anywhere from 6 to 20 miles on a given day and I have never lost anything, it is always comfortable, and stays where I put it. I wish I could say that about every single pair of stupidly expensive running tights I own, or the pinnies that always go places they aren't supposed to. I have had other running belts before and frankly, they end-up around my rib cage after less than a mile. Those are in a box in my closet. They are not the best running belt ever. I am known in my circle of friends for always carrying a small Nana purse that somehow has every single thing they could ever need inside of it. My purse is a little bit of a TARDIS probably. Need gum? I have gum. Need Pepto Bismol? I have that. Need dental floss, a Tide stick, sewing kit, a snack, or a hair elastic? I'm your girl. This belt is totally the Nana bag of running belts. I usually pack it with my iPhone (worn in the small of my back), my inhaler, 4-5 gels, my car and/or house key, Kleenex, dollars, and a thing of mace. All of this stuff fits, and nothing has ever fallen out. I choose not to flip the belt because well, bears. There are a lot of bears where I run and I really don't want to be messing with flipping my belt when I'm trying to look for mace and mostly not die from a bear mauling. Thankfully, I do know what to do in case of bears, and I have not ever been mauled by one, but I have lots of pictures taken with my easily accessible iPhone. Speaking of phones, my husband is always getting after me to bring my phone on long runs. This is something I didn't love doing because CHAFING. When that thing is strapped to my arm on a hot day I'm lucky if there's any skin left. There's not enough Body Glide in the universe when you have a gigantic iPhone strapped to your bicep, it's 80% humidity, and 86 degrees. FlipBelt=no skinless biceps, and a happy husband. Bottom line, this is a good product that does what it says it does. It fits well under clothing, it functions correctly, it carries lots and lots of items, and it does not end up around your rib cage or in places that it shouldn't be. Buy one!

I am fairly new to running but recently I ramped up my running mileage a lot. This thing is my day to day go to item to carry my phone, some snacks, my card holder and car keys. It can take all of them fine and the fit is perfect. You do not notice you are wearing this at all. Nothing bounces around and after every work out, I wash this together with my running clothes and it stands that all fine. I think it is a really good invention and a lifesaver product. The only downside that I noticed which really made me concerned about the reliability of this belt is that during a trail run today, I realized my car key jumped out of the pocket and started swinging around. Luckily it was attached to the car key clip so it did not fall off my pocket. I tucked it back in and resumed running. However 10-15 min later the same thing happened again. I fixed it as well and moved on. At the end of the run I checked my flip belt and saw that the key was still in the pocket but got detached from the plastic clip. So, If I were to run a bit longer, the next time it jumped off the pocket, it would go wild in the forest. A disaster scenario which I missed by mere chance. Therefore, I can say that the plastic clip provided is crap. Next time I will buy a screw in clip and attach it to the elastic string that holds the plastic clip. I think this is a major design flaw and I wanted to bring this to your attention before you lose something valuable.

I recently saw this product on after having searched for an iPhone running case. It wasn’t exactly what I was thinking at the time, but as it turns out, it’s even better! After I read more about it, I searched to see if they had their own website, which they did. I then looked around their website to see if they had opportunities to test or review their product, which they did. In exchange for providing me with a FlipBelt of my very own, I agreed to write this review for Level Terrain Apparel. Let me start out by saying that while I was provided with the complimentary FlipBelt, it has no bearing on how I feel about the product itself. I do not possess the standard “runner look.” I do not (and cannot) tuck clothes in. BIG runs in my family, it’s a genetic thing (thanks Mom and Dad). I’m an “up and down” dieter/runner who sometimes – or mostly - eats more than she runs. Therefore, the very last thing in the world I would want to wear while I’m out there running events with professional photographers taking action shots would be something gathering around my waist screaming “look here, look here”. Those waist packs, sport belts, athletic pouches or whatever you might call them - fanny bags – those are like swear words in my book. I would prefer to stick pins in my nice tech shirts rather than wear a simple bib holder for the mere fact that it cinches around that area. When this FlipBelt arrived, the first thing I noticed is that it looks just like the top of my favorite yoga pants – a nice, thick 3-inch band. It’s not a pouch that attaches to a belt; basically the whole thing IS a pouch. There are no zippers, buttons, buckles, nothing. You either put it over your head, or you step into it and adjust it to your waist or your hips, whichever is your preference. It has four little slits in it where you can insert your “stuff” to be carried. And according to the packaging the fabric is: “Wicking, Quick Dry Content: 92% Polyester and 8% Spandex.” I ordered black so that it would blend, but the belt does come in some fabulous colors such as yellow, aqua, pink, orange, green, blue, carbon, purple and maybe some day when I’m thin again, I’ll get the beautiful hot pink or aqua one….. maybe anyway. I ordered a Large, which, according to the package is for a women’s size 10-12, and it fit perfectly. Everything I read claimed that the belt didn’t bounce or move, and while this sounded fabulous, I just couldn’t believe it. Now that I’ve worn the product for a half marathon, let me be yet another person to tell you – THIS THING DOES NOT BOUNCE AND DOES NOT MOVE. You put it on, and that’s where it stays. For most of the event, it rained/drizzled/sprinkled, so the FlipBelt was damp. It doesn’t claim to be waterproof but my iPhone did stay dry, so I was happy with that. I actually talked to someone who has owned one for six months and she told me that the belt has not stretched out at all and is still as snug as mine is brand new. That’s a great piece of information to know because I did wonder how it would hold up. The photo on the left is a professional photo taken at half marathon. Note how the storage belt I was wearing helped make it look like I have a big ole "beer gut" because it's cinched around my waist so tight to keep it from bouncing around. You will never see that other storage belt on me again now since (1) I've seen the photos from that event and (2) I now own the FlipBelt. The photo on the right is from the race last weekend and I know you have to agree how much better it looks! The best part about the FlipBelt for me is the fact that it does not bulk you up around the waist. I don’t even think you can see it, which makes me happy.

It took me 3 tries to get the size right for this, I feel guilty about all the shipping. I like to wear belts at my hips, which I measured at 31.5”. Based on the sizing chart this was squarely a medium, but when I tried it on it was super loose. So I ordered a small, which maxes out at 29”, but once again when I tested it with a phone in it, it was still bouncing and not tight to my hips. I ended up trying one more time with an X-small, and finally the fit felt right - snug on my hips, no bouncing. I like the actual product a lot, love that I can clip my keys and that it’s easy to take my phone out mid-run and put it back, and don’t have to feel a big hard plastic buckle on my back. Just be wary of sizing.

This is a great product. I was skeptical of its effectiveness and value initially, but after fairly extensive use in a myriad of activities/situations, I can honestly say it was worth the money and a great buy. I have used the FlipBelt in a range of activities, including "outdoor" and sports-activities (e.g. running, hiking, snowboarding, biking, and even swimming in pools and the ocean) and it's worked excellently. I've also used it when attending concerts, trade shows, and even a multi-day music festival- it's worked well in those situations also. One use-case that I hadn't originally considered when I purchased the FlipBelt was "casual everyday use," though I've been particularly happy with the FlipBelt using it in that manner. To clarify, typically, I carry quite a few items around with me everyday (e.g. A full set of keys, two smartphones, a bunch of cards, maybe some cash, sometimes lip balm, and sometimes more). With the most comfortable clothing I own (or formal/dressy clothing for that matter), I simply can't carry those items (not well, anyway)- said items carry awkwardly, noisily, and sometimes uncomfortably. In addition, often-times, the outline of those items in my pockets looks terrible, and certainly stunts efforts of "trying to look nice or dress-up." With a FlipBelt, I literally wear whatever I want to wear- comfortable, classy, slimmer-fitting, no-pockets, loose and light, whatever- owning a FlipBelt, I can comfortably carry around any or all of the items I usually carry- bulky or not. (The FlipBelt is actually fairly inconspicuous, even when worn with "less forgiving" clothing, and it remains so for me, even when I'm using it to carry "all my stuff.") After owning one for a while, the FlipBelt has easily worked its way into my regular wardrobe- its too convenient and common-sense an "accessory" to NOT use, at least for me anyway. I no longer have to pick out an outfit for any activity based on how many pockets I'll need, or how much stuff I'll be carrying around. The FlipBelt stretches well to accommodate all manner of "cargo," and it holds it all well, in-place, without causing discomfort. A smartphone such as an iPhone 5s, for example, fits very easily, and an iPhone 6 or Samsung S5 or S6 fit also, though with a little stretching- it's still fairly easy to slide those phones into and out of the FlipBelt "pockets," however. I haven't tried a Samsung Note 4 or the iPhone 6L, but I have little doubt that those types of phones could be carried in a FlipBelt, though with those "phablets," there would obviously be a bit more stretching. Quickly removing or storing something like a Note 4 or a iPhone 6L (while wearing the FlipBelt) would be a little bit more cumbersome, too, I imagine, but certainly still do-able. The built-in key-clip/lanyard is a fantastic feature, and it ensures that you won't lose your keys/key-chain, regardless of the activity you're doing. The clip is also very handy for things like work/resort/casino/hotel key-cards, access-cards, and discount-cards, provided they have some kind of hole punched through them or some other method of attachment. To me, it makes sense to punch a hole into most of my cards (away from any integrated security-chips or magnetic-strips) so that I could "key-chain them together," or otherwise secure them when necessary- the FlipBelt's key-clip/lanyard feature is quite nice for that purpose. The lanyard portion is also (for me) just the right length and "stretchiness"- it's not so short that you can't even get the keys out of the belt, and the lanyard length also happens to make it easier to "fish the keys out" of the FlipBelt, by pulling on the lanyard itself. Even when carrying a bunch of items (like the example "cargo" I listed above), the FlipBelt is still surprisingly comfortable- the material it's made of breathes well, it's fairly durable and retains "stretchiness" well, it washes easily when necessary and whole belt dries relatively quickly when washed or taken swimming. Further, (as long as it's sized correctly) the FlipBelt feels almost invisible while worn directly against skin, or even when it's worn over other clothes. The continuous "wrap-around" design of the FlipBelt's "pocket" allows for "adjusting" the placement of carried items without requiring that the belt be removed. The ability to "adjust" the placement and orientation of carried items throughout the FlipBelt's wrap-around pocket, and through its cloth, while still being worn, makes it easy to "flatten" a loaded-up FlipBelt for appearance and comfort purposes. It is due to this ability to "adjust" carried items that I find the FlipBelt able to stay relatively inconspicuous in many outfits, for many activities, and a wide-range of carrying-ability, all while being quite comfortable. To me, the ability to make said "adjustments" to carried items while the belt is still worn, is a critically-important design-aspect that should not be overlooked. A Few Considerations: I originally had reservations about the design of the FlipBelt, since it doesn't "come-apart" like a belt (there is no buckle, velcro, or zipper)- you don the FlipBelt by sliding it over your head and down your body, or the opposite-way- that seemed like an hassle to me at first; like it was a design-oversight, or a bean-counter eliminating features or some other cynical explanation. In using the FlipBelt, I must say that it's design allows it to be light, comfortable, non-chaffing, easy to rotate-around your body, inconspicuous, and durable. I doubt, now, that having something like a buckle or zipper would have improved the design- in fact, I think it would have detracted quite a bit from my positive experience with the FlipBelt thus-far. Even when considering the design of the FlipBelt's pocket-openings (there are four, evenly spaced around the belt, if I recall correctly)- they have no closing-mechanism; no zippers, no Velcro, no buckles, but the FlipBelt still contains all of my stuff well nonetheless. The explanation for this lies in the ability to store items into the wrap-around pocket of the FlipBelt, and then literally flipping the belt inside-out while wearing it- this faces the four pocket-openings of the FlipBelt snugly up against the wearer's body, thus preventing the FlipBelt's contents from falling-out (provided the belt is sized correctly to the wearer). [Incidentally, I believe the suggested waist-sizes are relatively accurate, or at least it was in my case. I don't believe that FlipBelts should be considered to "run large" or "run small," but of course, your mileage may vary.] [Disclaimer: I am not in any way whatsoever affiliated with or compensated-by either Amazon, any FlipBelt resellers, nor the FlipBelt manufacturer. I wrote this review of my own volition as an individual customer.]

Great concept, but the quality of the product needs some work. I have an iphone 6 plus and I could not find an armband that would allow me to workout comfortably. I'm only 5'2 and that phone is just way too big to have on my arm. I couldn't just hold it, or stick it under my shirt either, on the side of my leggings - it's just too big and it gets in the way. This product has some really great things and some bad ones. The good: - very comfortable - blends in with your outfit (it appears to be made of the same material that workout clothes are made of so it just blends nicely) - most shirts will cover it (unless you're wearing a crop top) - it does most of what it says it does. So I'm able to do most of my workouts without it being an issue EXCEPT jumping. Forget it. The thing will go up no matter what you do. Also, sometimes with squats it will ride up. I like to have my phone on the back side because on the front it's not comfortable for squats or anything that requires bending over. However, if you're going to lay on your back you'll have to turn the belt around (not a huge deal honestly) The bad: - like I mentioned, it does not stay in place when you jump (you can give them the benefit of the doubt though, I may have gone a size too big? I don't know it's stretchy so it's hard to tell. It doesn't fall off by any means though. When it's on and I'm not jumping it stays in place so who knows) - The quality is not good. The seams are coming off.. which makes me really sad because this was quite pricey. After a couple of uses it starts to roll on itself so it's not as smooth under a shirt anymore and it doesn't keep its shape. - ideally I'd like to be able to also see my phone screen (it should have a see through portion) I keep some of my workouts on my phone so it's annoying to have to keep taking out to look at them or if you're running to see how far you've ran. I think it's a great idea of a product and I would buy it again over any arm band, but if there was a better version of this product (and cheaper.. I think it's a little expensive) I would get that instead.

The flipbelt classic fit well and stays on relatively well. I also bought the 6 oz water for it but that was a bit bulky. This one does not have a zipper so you need to slide your phone, and gels into these slits which are sometimes not the easiest to access. That being said it held my keys in well and is better than my armband used to be for balance. I would recommend this to anyone at least semi-serious in running.

Good quality product. Though I had some product related issue like figuring the size. So I went for precise size. Now belt suits snugly on my waist and I think : maybe I should have taken 1 size up...

Perfect for runners and definite must have! So comfortable you hardly know it's there.

Parfait. Ne bouge pas. Très pratique. Les grands téléphones entrent aussi.

Don't notice you are wearing it! I bought this for running so that I could carry my items like my keys and mobile phone (I use a running App to monitor distance, pace, time etc but don't get on with the arm bands!). This stayed in place perfectly and I genuinely forgot I was wearing it. I have an iphone 5s and this fits comfortably with still plenty of space and a bulky set of car and house keys and despite the little bit of weight I felt no movement! I was unsure about sizing due to other reviews but I am petite with a 26inch waist so went for the XS and it was true to size. I think the S would have been to big and may have moved a little however I would say this would be fine for a size 8-10. Great product!

Habe mir den Gürtel bestellt, weil ich im Sommer keine Jacke mit Taschen habe. Den Gürtel habe ich erst bei der Hausarbeit ausprobiert. Ich hatte vorher meinen Hüftumfang gemessen und dann in Zoll umgerechnet, um die richtige Größe zu ermitteln (76 cm / 2,54 =29,93 Zoll). Darauf hin habe ich mich für S entschieden, weil diese Größe in der Größentabelle von 29" bis 36" angegeben ist. Leider habe ich unterschätzt, das alles gedehnte Marerial wieder in seine Ausgangsposition will. Der Gürtel rutschte von der Hüfte in die Taille, wo ich ihn nicht tragen wollte. Ich bin wohl für S doch zu dick ;) Ansonsten ist der Gürtel super, nicht zu merken und super praktisch. Habe den Gürtel dann in M bestellt und dieser sitzt, passt, wackelt und hat Luft...Er bleibt da, wo er sitzen soll und ist beim Laufen (täglich 15 km) absolut nicht zu merken. Klare Kaufempfehlung.
