Handy Holder

I bought this to use while running to hold my iPhone 6s Plus and it does the job! I love that the SPIbelt does not bounce (assuming you have it tightened). I like to loosen the strap after running, when I'm walking, just because of how hot running can be. I do keep the zipper slightly open to use my headphones with my phone to listen to music. Although this may seem a bit insecure to some, I've never had any issues with my phone coming out or anything like that. Overall, this is a wonderful tool and I would definitely recommend it to any fellow runners or walkers. It is so much nicer than holding your phone/items in your hands or having them get gross in your sports bra, LOL. That being said, I have two recommendations/requests for SPIbelt to improve: 1) I really wish the belt was machine washable 2) It would be nice to have a headphone port so users don't have to leave the zipper open in order to listen to music. Although this method works, it is not ideal.

Fits regular iPhone 6 perfectly

I rely heavily on Amazon reviews for purchases because often I'm not in the country where I can view items in person first before buying. This review is more of for owners of an iPhone 6 (not 6+). I couldn't find much information on how the original SPI Belt fit the iPhone 6, just that it "was a tight fit". All the reviews for the Large SPI Belt were focused on the 6+ so I still didn't have much of an idea. Well I went for the Large and can say without a doubt if you own an iPhone 6, this is the size for you. There's still extra room for cash, keys and gel but the design of the SPI Belt keeps everything nice and compact to where there's no bouncing going on, even with the bit of extra room. As far as the general design of the SPI Belt, I have to say this guy is on point. I personally haven't had any issues with it riding up and I've gone through a few 10+ mile runs with it so far. For anyone considering this over armbands, definitely go for the belt. It's much easier to take a phone out from than a clunky armband. I'm always wary of giving a 5 star rating because the review can come off as too promoting, but I really have no improvements for this belt and it really solved my issue of running with a larger phone.

Great bigger iPhone pouch for use with Bluetooth headphones

I had an original sized of these that I had received as a gift several years ago, but wasn't used as I had a waistband/velcro pouch already. After pulling it out a couple of years later when I switched to Bluetooth headphones (the cord always stopped me from using this), I realized how good the SPIbelt's are for running without any bounce (and not pressing down a waistband). Although my original sized works okay with my iPhone 6S Plus, I decided to get the next size larger to see how it does. Perfect. No bounce, phone fits easily, and I can move this pouch around depending on what workout I'm doing (front / back / etc for crunches, burpees, etc). Normal position for running is the small of the back with the bands positioned on my hip bones.

Fantastic way to keep your things secure while running/working out.

I have owned a SPIbelt for about 6+ years. Mine is the normal size, but has the rubber coating inside. I bought it to replace an arm band to hold my phone when running, as the arm band filled up with sweat and ruined the phone. At the time I was training for a marathon and was doing about 8-12mi a day, 3 times a week. It works just as advertised. Holds my phone without it flopping about. The milage I did with this only proves the quality, as it was bouncing for hours at a time. I still use it today, although not as many miles as I was doing back then, and it's as comfortable and functional as the day I bought it. If you plan to use this for running or working out while listening to music, I'd suggest getting a pair of wireless headphones. I ran for years with cabled ones, and you can make it work by threading the wire though the zipper if you aim the phone that way, but it's a hassle that I am glad I don't have to deal with now that I have wireless headphones. I bought this one for my dad. He doesn't run at all, or work out for that matter, but he travels a lot, and this one is said to be large enough to hold a passport. I am not sure if he will use it, but I was thinking it would be a nice way for him to safely and discretely carry his items when he is about. My sons have actually started cross country, and they are getting phones for xmas this year. So, as soon as they get their phones, I'll problem get them a SPIbelt too.

Stays In Place, No Bouncing

This is the third SPibelt that I have purchased. I bought myself a smaller size a few years ago and then my husband wanted one. Recently I purchased a larger phone and it would no longer fit in the smaller belt so I purchased a large pocket belt so it could accommodate my phone. The only thing I didn't like was having my headphones coming out of the belt up to my ears, so I recently upgraded to wireless headphones and that solved the problem. The Spibelt does not bounce around and stays in place. It also holds up well in the washer.

Great as a travel wallet

This was a great travel wallet! My husband and I bought these to use as wallets while on an international vacation, and they worked great. The only issue I saw was that to would have been nice to have a small zipped pocket on the other side for a key/debt card, etc. If they were in the main pocket with the phone, there was a risk that they would all dump out. However very well made and a good purchase ☺

It is really comfortable and really strong!

I don't really write reviews for stuff but this is actually a really amazing product. I used it for travelling in SE Asia. I am a 'sensitive' person(IE wearing two different types of socks will bother me haha) and I would forget that this was attached to me strait away. Couldn't really feel it(which was kind of scary sometimes!). Great product. Really roomy too. Could fit two passports, a phone, bundle of cash, lighter, keys etc in it all at once. Its American made which is really cool too!

So comfortable, you may forget you have your phone with you.

I am an off and on jogger, and I love listening to music or podcasts while I jog, but I hate having my phone bounce around in my pocket. I looked at some arm bands, but they looked pretty uncomfortable, so I tried this. It is great. It expands easily if I have a bunch to carry (keys, credit card, phone, spare battery, etc.), but also keeps a snug fit if I am just carrying my phone. The elastic works so that if I put the phone on my back, I can't tell it is there when I am running, but the band is loose enough that I barely notice I am wearing it. I use this with a bluetooth headset and a smartwatch so I can control my phone and listen, all without taking it out of the bag or using wires. It is wonderful. I would also recommend using this for storing money or valuables when you are traveling. You can keep some cash in you wallet, but if somehow there is a pickpocket or you get robbed, this shouldn't be noticed under your shirt.

Accommodates iPhone 8 Plus in a LifeProof case.

I recently got a new phone, an iPhone 8 plus, which was just a bit too big for my old Spibelt. It fit but it didn't zip completely. The main issue is the LifeProof case, which adds more size to an already large phone. So I ordered this Large Pocket one and it fits with no problem, room to spare. I don't use the extra room though, since I have the other Spibelt. It fits nice and snug with no bouncing. I wear it with the phone in the back.

Fits the ginormous iPhone 6+

I bought the standard size SPIbelt to house my ginormous iPhone 6+ It did, but was a real tight fit. Now I have the larger pocket size SPIbelt and it works GREAT! It's not that much bigger, but big enough for the new ridiculously large iPhone. I can put my iPhone in there with the headphones comfortably coming out of the zipper. Now to convince my wife it's NOT a fanny-pack....
