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.

I just received this last week. I am planning to use it for the Subaru Distance Classic and took it out for a test run this morning (13.11 mile run).Here is my experience:Fit: I ordered a medium. I am 6′ tall and have a 31-32 inch waist and it fit perfect. I am glad I didn’t order a large. The medium is for waists 28-32. I hardly knew it was there. But a larger one would probably have been loose and bounce.Use: I ran with an iPhone6 in a life proof case, a small bag of chews and a gel packet. All fit fine and I hardly knew they were there.Feel: it was secure as I ran. The phone was snug in the belt, and did not bounce. I was able to slip the phone in and out while running, but once in there it was secure. Again, the belt didn’t bounce around and this is important for a long run.Effects: after running I had no red marks, no chaffing and zero issues. I wore it over my waist band, and under my shirt. You could not see it was there and I honestly forgot I was wearing it at times.I love the product. I’m glad I ordered it and it will be perfect for my long runs.My only issue (and it’s a very small one) is the color. I ordered red and it looks more pink. I don’t care, but that is the only thing that had any variance from what I thought I was getting. It’s not like it’s hot pink, it was just slightly different than I expected.Overall, I recommend this belt. If you are a runner and looking to carry things while you run this is perfect. I could easily have put keys, money and IDs or credit cards in there along with my phone and chews, and it would have been great.

I wear a size 0-2 pant. I ordered a medium belt. I definitely would not have liked a small. Medium is fitted on my waist, I may have even picked a large if I was able to try on before buying.

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 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.

As a novice runner, I wanted something easy to use for my music. Having initially thought of an arm holder for my music, I came across the Flipbelt and read reviews on it. I am not disappointed. Room for phone / music, car keys and even a bit more room for other small items. (I usually bring some tissues – especially with hayfever season!). Recommended.

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.

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.

Really like this product. Comfortably fits in my iphone 6, house key, a blister plaster plus some loose change just in case. I ordered the small (size 8 – 10) and my only criticism is in certain leggings it seems to ride up so I need to wear it quite low to keep it tight.

Warning: My waist is 36-37 inches – I went for the XL and should definitely have gone for the L.It is a great product… tons of runners want to take their phones with them for music but those arm bands are awful and carrying it in your hand isn’t ideal either. Get the right size flip belt and you can forget about the problem

OK. I use this every day for life-saving medical stuff. It does the job. Sometimes stuff falls out 🙁 And sometimes it’s hard to find the stuff, because this belt doesn’t hold its form well, twisting so the openings move around (up and down, ending up at the top or underneath instead of in the middle where they’re meant to be. Still, it’s comfortable, and if you’re careful and have time, usable.

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 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’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.
