I've been through 3 fanny/running pouches before finding the Running Buddy; a wrap-around-the-waist expandable fanny pack, a pouch in my hydration belt, and an arm band for my phone. Each one worked for a while, but then I'd realize something was not meeting my standards. I have three very specific criteria when searching for the best running pack. 1) It has to be lightweight and unnoticeable. In other words, I don't want to know I'm wearing it. 2) It has to be big enough to hold my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and other items. 3) It has to be water resistant/proof to protect my $800 smartphone. The wrap-around-the-waist fanny pack was lightweight and it's ability to expand meant I could put a ton of stuff in it. However, it was far from water proof/resistant. Wrapping my phone in a ziploc baggie or saran wrap to protect it from water caused it to overheat. Additionally, it cut into my waist giving me painful sores. The hydration belt was convenient because it was just one item I had to wear, but it wasn't water proof/resistant and it's not lightweight or unnoticeable, and I don't wear it during races. And it also cuts into my waist. The arm band was a disaster regarding all three of my criteria...I wore it once. So, in search of something, anything that would meet my criteria, I headed to Facebook and posted the question to a running group. Dozens of comments later, a few products were mentioned. And then a lone comment said, "Check out the Running Buddy". With all of the products mentioned, I did my research and based on the manufacturer's info and customer reviews (and even a few emails exchanges directly with the manufacturers), I found that the Running Buddy was the only one that claimed to meet all 3 of my criteria. So, I ordered it, thinking if it didn't work out I'd only be out $25 (compared to $40+ for the other recommended options). Upon receiving my Running Buddy, I immediately noticed that my phone fit just perfectly, but left no room for my headphone jack. Honestly, I was a little annoyed with myself for not checking that out before I bought it. So, I went to their website and there was a video about poking a hole in the side with a nail. Hmmm...not the best solution, and definitely an engineering flaw in my mind, but I did it anyway. Before I go on, let me say that the nail hole in the side has worked perfectly with no seepage. So, the next morning, I was ready for my first run with my Running Buddy, and wouldn't you know it, it was raining outside. I don't have a problem running in the rain, but I had not tested the claim of water proof/resistance made by Running Buddy. Part of me thought about leaving it behind and running anyway, but I figured why not go for broke on the test and see how it holds up. Besides, I have insurance on my phone and can easily replace that. So, off I went into the pouring rain with my first experience using the Running Buddy. During the run, I thought several times about taking the pouch back home and finishing my run without it, but I kept going. After 10 miles in sideways rain, I got home, dried off, and took my phone out of the pouch to inspect the damage. The results? The only water drops on my phone were from my wet hands when I pulled it out. In other words, it stayed as dry as a bone the entire time. As for comfort, I honestly don't know it's hanging off the front of my shorts. Granted, I have to tie my shorts good or the weight of it will pull them down, but not so tight that they're uncomfortable. Many times on long runs, I'll look down and be like, "Oh yeah, there's my Running Buddy." No kidding. It's that unnoticeable. I did try wearing it in the back, but it bounced too much. Wearing it in the front is a non-issue for me. As a bonus, because it doesn't wrap around my waist, I don't have to keep adjusting it and fighting chafing like I did with the wrap around fanny pack and hydration belt. As for my final criteria to hold everything, my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 fits snugly inside of it. Yes, snugly. But I'd rather have my phone secure than bouncing around inside of a pouch. There's not much more room to fit anything else inside of the water-resistant pouch once my phone is inside, BUT, there's a completely separate pouch for things like keys, gels, and other smaller items. Keep in mind, the Running Buddy isn't a suitcase. If you need to carry a lot of stuff, it may not be the choice for you. But for me, as a marathon runner, it carries everything I need securely. If they ever created a wider version, I'd probably upgrade for the extra space. Hey Running Buddy, contact me for some design ideas and feedback! :) Finally, I have to say that I got a bonus surprise that I was not expecting. I had a question about cleaning my Running Buddy, so I went to their website and read the FAQs. I didn't get the answer I was looking for, so I emailed them. Their website said, "Contact us...and we will get back in touch with you within 24 hrs." so I expected to hear back within 24-hours. Guess how long it took them to get back with me? THREE MINUTES! And, their response wasn't some canned customer service response. It was personal and directly answered my question. A follow up email by me resulted in another response in FIVE MINUTES! And a final follow up by me resulted in a response in TWO MINUTES. By email! What company responds that quickly by email?!?!? Should you expect that fast of response time from them if you have a question? Of course not...that's not fair to them, especially as they get bigger (maybe they'll prove me wrong with this). However, I'm confident you'll get a personal response that answers your questions directly. In summary, the Running Buddy is perfect for me. I highly recommend it for any runner looking for a unobtrusive, water proof/resistant pouch that is big enough to hold today's large smartphones and other items. I won't be searching for any other solutions, unless of course they come out with a wider version of the pouch!

Magnets are strong and Velcro is strong. Items are secure. Two pockets separated by mesh. I often attach it to my purse strap and have no worries it is going to come off or come open.

I'm currently on my third pouch and I won't buy anything else to carry my phone while I run. They last for years. The Buddy XL keeps my phone safe, secure and dry even in torrential rains. If I had one request to make it a true 5 star product it would be to add one more magnet in the center of the flap.

This pouch is great. Fits my phone perfectly with room for keys and money. Magnets are super strong and don't have to worry about it falling off. Wish I would have found it sooner!

I use the run buddy everyday so I don't have to carry a purse. It holds everything necessary. I don't know the purpose of the little zipper on the side. It seems if forgotten to zip back up, I would lose my ID or credit card.
