FlipBelt Classic Running Belt, Running Fanny Pack for Women and Men, Non Chafing Waist Band Pack for Phone, Moisture Wicking Storage Belt, USA Company

I really wanted to like this, as I hate running with my phone on an armband. The belt rode up from where I placed it on my hips almost immediately (less than .25 mile) and bounced around my waist for the rest of the run. Note: I am a pear shaped female (28" waist, size 8 clothing) and ordered the size large to fit on the upper part of my hips. I think I could have ordered an XXL and it still wouldn't have stayed in place - it would have ridden up due to my body shape alone.

So I ordered two, one came as made in USA, the other came as made in Vietnam. The finishings of two FilpBelt are different. Vietnam one has ::::::::::: shape of finishing, USA one has XXXXXXXXX shape of finishing. The Vietnam one has smaller opening stitch as well, while USA one has larger. Their fabric textures feel little different too. Well, both are genuine or one is fake? This belt is "USA Original Patent, USA Designed, USA Shipped, USA Warranty". I asked a replacement, but this is still frustrating. Maybe both can be genuine, but I rather one to receive that are made in either Vietnam or USA. Rather in USA, because I think this is USA shipped. Customers may be careful about that...PS - The photo's brightness is adjusted by Photoshop to see the differences better.

I ordered a small figuring it’d be real tight. My measurements were more than what the sizing chart said I should get for a small. According to the sizing chart I should’ve gotten a large.... that said! The small sits on my hips fairly ok. I’d definitely go a size smaller If you plan to wear on the hips. Measurements are waist so keep that in mind. It is stretchy so it’ll fit. Don’t worry. I have an iphone6s. My cell phone fit easily. Actually it even flooped around a tad. So I slide the belt to the side. Phone ended up on the side then. And it felt way better than right under my belly area. Doesn’t flop Around there! So plus the belt could have been tad loose Bc otherwise it’d not move much. I’m glad a small feels a tad lose than too tight I guess. You can always pull it down a bit more to get a tighter fit. There are no zippers but my phone felt secure and did not fall out . I think that part was 5 stars! I got the aqua blue and it’s real pretty. This is overall a great belt. Just wish I had ordered the Xs.... rather than small. I measured myself many times before hitting the buy button! And I felt I’d gone small enough but yah. So if you want to wear it on your hips? And sizing chart says you need a large? Go for a medium.

I was skeptical about this actually staying in place. I carry my weight around my midsection. It stayed in place while running and walking on the road and on the treadmill. I'm trying to lose all my pregnancy weight so I'll update as I lose weight. For reference, I'm 5'6 and wear an 8/10 US size. This belt is a large.

So I really REALLY wanted to be able to add to the many 5 star reviews that I read before purchasing the FlipBelt. I purchased it for use on my runs to hold my phone so that I can listen to the music on my amazon prime music app. I have to have my phone to do that because I can't stream music off my apple watch.Anyway... I was very disappointed when I took it out for my first run. It's advertised that because of the design of the belt there will be no bounce or movement of it's placement on your waist/hips. This was NOT the case for me. It slipped up my hips CONSTANTLY during my run. I eventually had to pull it all the way down to the middle of my butt. Like at my pelvic bone. That's stupid low people. However that didn't completely fix the issue and I found myself still pulling and tugging to keep it in a comfortable spot for my run.In an effort not to jump to conclusions too quickly I decided to use it a few more times to make sure. Each time I had the same frustrating results. Finally on my last run I pulled it up around my chest to see if I could get it to stay in place there (I was desperate at this point). No such luck. Didn't work.Before I purchased this I made sure to get the right size (or what I thought would be the right size according to their sizing chart). I measure 32.5" around my hips which would have been a borderline medium or large. So I went with the medium thinking that it would fit the best. It's possible that a small would work better as it would be a tighter fit around my hips and "possibly" decrease the chance of it moving up my hips as I run.I may try the small. If it works I am willing to update this review. I really want to be able to join the 5 star peeps. But as of now it gets a 1 from me. And that is because I like the slots that you put your items in.

I was a little apprehensive to add any bulk to my midsection but this belt works great! It looks like a yoga pant waistband and is very comfortable. My waist is 30" and my hip measurement (which is wear I wanted to wear it) was 38". I ordered the large (32-35"). It fits perfectly and stays in place.

Confirmed as a counterfeit product by Flipbelt directly. Product includes poor English which raised my concerns and was immediately confirmed by their Instagram account.

Theres two type of runner - those that have tried a flipbelt and thus always use it and those that are yet to try it. Mine has done a lot of miles, been soaked with sweat, rain, every imaginable type of mud and been through the wash weekly with my running gear. Still the same elasticity. No issues with the stitching, you can even still see the logo.If you look at the materials on this thing (and the bottles that go with it - couldn't recommend them more btw) it should cost about £3. You can probably get rip off versions of them for that somewhere but when you're running you dont want something failing so you lose your water, phone, liquid bandage, surgical tape, antihistamine cream, spare nipple covers, etc (yup i carry all that in mine every day). Trust me I have tested this thing to what should have been destruction long ago. I dont rate things 5* unless they exceed reasonable expectations.

I'd had a different running belt before with buckles to adjust tightness and 2 zipped pouches to hold phone and keys etc. Seemed great to start with, but after a while it started to loosen whilst running, the zips would get stuck and the pouches were awkward to access whilst wearing. No such problems with the FlipBelt. Haven't had it long yet but the material seems robust and it feels surprisingly durable. There's not a lot to go wrong with it! It's basically just a tube of stretchy material with 4 openings spaced around it. The only other 'feature' is an internal clip which is very handy for keeping my keys extra secure. It's worth trying two different sizes as it needs to be the right fit. I was between sizes per the sizing chart and found the the larger size was better and still snug enough. The smaller size was too constricting and would have become uncomfortable. Holds my bunch of keys and large phone very securely with no bounce. The idea is that you can flip it inside out so that the openings are on the inside. This would stop anything falling out of the openings. There's really no need though as there's very little chance they'll bounce out. It's still easy to get things out when you need them.

FlipBelts are great. But we received a fake from seller Jocelyn Nicolas. See label by way of example. We have returned the belt to FlipBelt so that they can take appropriate action.

I'd resisted getting a flipbelt for ages because I had a few items which could have been considered to be the same kind of thing and it felt expensive to replace something that wasn't truly broken or worn out. However with the advent of ever-bigger mobile phones which don't fit comfortably in armbands, coupled with the fact that I feel a little safer running with my phone on me, I decided to splash out on a Flipbelt. I'm so glad I did. It sits in place perfectly and doesn't ride up, which is a problem I'd had with other styles of running belt/waist pack. It also doesn't loosen during a run either. The pockets are room enough to hold a chunky smartphone, my keys and an inhaler but also secure enough that I've never lost a thing from them. An excellent design and well worth the price.
