It’s comfortable and like the belt. Perfect for key fob and ID and also fits the phone… BUT zipper issue. This is my second belt and second issue with it. For the price don’t want to have to keep replacing it.

I believe this is one of the BEST belts out there, and the front zipper pocket is much sturdier and has less shake than the rest of the belt (worth it to get this Elite series vs the original)...HOWEVER, the zipper and the zipper stops are hard plastic and metal components resting against your phone screen or cameras. This has the potential to cause scratches. I put rubber padding between these stops and my phone to prevent any touching.Please re-do this product to have the zipper on the TOP EDGE of the belt, not in the center, this way there is no way any phone can get scratched.

Third times the charm! It took three times before the Chicago Marathon to get this order right without inherent defects in quality or manufacturing design. Sorry, it's not ideal but I got through the Chicago Marathon wearing a FlipBelt Elite, so I guess that means something. No flaws so far. Zipper works. Keychain holder works. These were the defects of the previous two belts. Doesn’t leave much confidence in the company or quality control. I have other waist belts but I like the design of FlipBelt Elite. Thanks for a decent product when you ship one that's not defective. Enough said. Lucky I don't rate lower than two stars. Peace.

I ordered a size Small to hold my flask more securely. For the first couple weeks I had the belt, most things went smoothly, except for some fraying on the inside stitching, which was worrying. But I had to return the belt when I was getting ready for a run and the zipper head just came unglued in my hand as I pulled it closed. This $50 belt has some good ideas, but with poor execution, all the good ideas in the world are worthless.

The Elite belt is great for me because of the anti-slip inner layer, the water resistant pocket, the reflective safety trim, and the side zipper. I use the side zipper sparingly because I've heard that it can break such that it can unzip itself while running, so I keep it in the lock position most of the time, but I love having the option. I use the Elite belt especially if its raining, or during darker times of the day.

Thank You Crummy Marathoners Podcast for recommending FlipBelt !!!

I always ran with some kind of fanny pack because things fell out of my running shorts pockets. Gels, inhaler, I.D., and keys. I always had to carry my water in my hands. Now I can have it all plus my phone in the FlipBelt! The FlipBelt also doesn't flop around like a fanny pack; I forget it is there! Plus, my shirt doesn't ride up as much now.

Advice: Do your homework and really think about what size FlipBelt you need! The belt will stretch a little over time. My hip size teeters between two different belt sizes, and the smaller of the two was the one I ultimately needed. The company was very gracious about making sure I was satisfied, and paid for shipping for me to exchange sizes. Now my belt isn't too tight or too loose.

I'm trying to replace my current belt with something with just a bit more capacity and this is almost perfect. I'm 6' 1" and about 175 lbs, ordered a large and the belt was on point. The belt can store a lot of items, a waterproof, zippered section is included. The thing is the items tend to bunch up. I ended up having the belt sewn so there are three sections. Works great now. Also a nice keyring is included,

This is the second flipbelt I've purchased and sent back because of defects in quality. The first had a broken zipper. The second, a defective key clip. This is somewhat of a setback before the Chicago Marathon. I've lost 15 lbs and need to get a size small instead of a medium which is now loose on me while I run. Do I try again? Third time's the charm? Let's hope so. Really, this is no fun and a total headache as quality control could have seen these issues in advance. Very disappointed. Thanks.

32.5inch waist..size M fit better than Large..I own both the Zipper version (strangely doesn't zip on the side like the Elite but instead on the front) and the Elite which zips on both the front and the side.The Elite is better because you don't have to slide it up your legs and the pocket setup is the same as the Zipper version. I see only a gained advantage by using the Elite vs the Zipper.I deducted one star because there are very few colors of the Elite (lighter colors help cars see you), but the Zipper has several including a reflecting paint.You could order one of each just to try the sizes, but I found the Elite to be less stretchy so better to go too big than too small in my opinion.

My first run with it was the Disney marathon and the zipper broke the third time I reached for my phone

Bought it for my wife. Frist one was too small, so returned for a larger model. Very happy with the new belt but have not seen credit issued for the return.

I’ve worn this belt 4 times and the zipper broke while out on a run.

I’ve had the zipper less belt for years & liked it enough but my water bottle would come tumbling out when running so went with a zippered one. The zipper broke one month in & of course I didn’t save my receipts because I knew I already liked it & would not be returning it. I hope this was a one off & that no one else has to deal with the disappointment

I bought this belt a while back and forgot I had it. I found it and I ran in a half marathon last weekend with it- the belt was tight and the zipper wouldn't stay up! I think the zipper issue was from it being too small, I wish I had gotten a size larger, especially for the amount I paid.

My first Flipbelt had a problem; after a very quick interaction with their customer service staff, I got a new one. It is excellent and I recommend it to anyone. I use it for running, but obviously there are so many uses for it.

The Elite version is a big step up over the original FlipBelt - it fits my chonky monster of a phone, and I can get my soft flasks into pretty easily. Word of warning though, make sure you wash it before using it! I didn't, and the black dye bled all over my clothes and phone case.

I'm actually on my third FlipBelt. My first FlipBelt was as Medium, as I lost weight I needed a Small so I bought a Small. I decided I wanted the FlipBelt with the side zipper, tired of climbing in/out of my FlipBelt. I love the change to the zip pocket; it's roomier and waterproof. I use the 10 oz. bottle which I had purchased when I purchased the size Medium. I can't stand the sloshing of water and if there is sloshing going on you can't feel it with the FlipBelt water bottle combination. I will always own/use a FlipBelt. I originally bought a FlipBelt for running but have found other times it's great to wear too.

33" waist. Have been using the large yet it can be bouncy with two small water bottles. Ordered the medium and it is much less bouncy yet a bit harder to get on. Will stick with the medium for runs, might will use the large for non-athletic activities.

It's comfortable, doesn't ride up, and holds all of the essentials. I wore it hiking and loved the easy access to snacks and my phone. I think this thing might replace my purse for everyday errands

I got a large belt (33in waist) and I forgot I was wearing a belt quickly into the first run. Iphone 11 max and 11 oz bottle fit with plenty more room for another bottle, gels, keys, etc. No bounce, doesn't ride up, and wicks away sweat quickly. If it had straps for poles, I would use this instead of a vest for 50 milers. Two thumbs up!

My second purchase of this belt. I loved the first one so much I bought a spare.

I bought this as a way to hold my phone when I am riding my horse. I didn't want the bulky phone holder that clips on belts that most equestrians like to use. This works perfect. very low profile and super easy access when I need to get my phone when I am riding. Plus, It is a safety issue. if I fall off or get hurt I have my phone close.

I am a longtime runner and got my first Flipbelt a month or so ago and I am so happy with it. Perfect fit and keeps what I need close to me and safe. I would recommend this to anyone, you will be very satisfied!

I love my flip belt. It works perfectly.

I trained for 10 weeks running with my phone in my hand, my husband found the flipbelt on Instagram and shared it with me. This is a GAME CHANGER, I feel safer and it is easier to run. My phone and bulky phone case fits nicley in both the zipper compartment and in the slitted pockets. I love how easy it is to put on and how the flipbelt stays in place. SO worth it to upgrade for easy on and off. I actually started using it to run errands instead of carrying a purse.

I've had my flipbelt for 3 months and have nearly 500 miles of use on it. It is magnificently designed and works 100% as advertised. I use it primarily for running (water, gels, key, phone, carmex, etc) but have also used it for my rides (it holds my patch kit perfectly). It's a wonderful product and customer support is peerless.

Does everything I need it to and the water resistant zipper pouch is a life saver if you sweat a lot.

It is really sturdy and stays in place. I also use it to keep my pants and tank top in place. And also bought the water bottle, and having it behind my back gives the feeling of back support during my runs. (FYI: I bought the belt for the second time coz the first one ended up getting a hole when I forced my huge cell phone in the belt at a weird angle.)

The best solution to how to run with a phone ever created! I bought a second one because I found I was washing it everyday. You don’t even notice you’re wearing it and carries your phone, keys, drivers license, and credit card. It’s now an essential piece of my running gear for trail running.
