    • Finally, the perfect pouch for RUNNERS!
Color: Black 6-3/4” Long
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! ... show more

    • Love the Pouch
Color: Black 7-1/8” Long
I've only had to replace my pouch because I keep upgrading my phone to a larger one. :-) I often use the Running Buddy while traveling and need to have my phone with me. It is easy to access my phone, fits comfortably on my waist with the strong magnet, and, is well constructed. I run almost every day and the pouch has never failed me. I highly recommend the Running Buddy Magnetic Buddy Pouch. ... show more

When I ordered this I thought I would be using it just for walking my Golden Retriever. Boy was I wrong! I use it every day . I have the I phone 12pro & I ordered the xl 6 3/4 (I do have a case on my phone ) , but it’s a snug fit . Probably would order an xxl next time . Magnet is STRONG, I can wear it while driving , doesn’t interfere with the seat belt at all. I even bought one for a friend who can NEVER find her phone …. Problem solved ... show more

    • Best and most convenient invention ever!
Cell phones! When I put one in my pocket, after a while it wore a hole in the pocket. When I set it down somewhere at home it was never. where I wanted it when it rang—and I forgot to take it with me. As I have gotten older I have carried less about my appearance, beyond being clean and well groomed, and I usually wear cargo pants so i can carry treats and doggy bags as well as things for me in my front pockets. But I gave up carrying a purse years ago. It’s inconvenient when walking my dog. I kept ending up at the checkout stand realizing I had left my wallet at home, so no driver’s licence, no cash, no cards. This solves everything. One pocket holds my phone. The inner pocket has a velcro divider so I can keep cards on one side and cash on the other. Coins can go loose in a pocket. I wear it in the house and out. If I make a last-minute decision to stop and buy something, everything I need is with me. When I must wear a dress and carry a purse, I just tuck this in my purse. ... show more

    • Running Buddy
Color: Black 7-1/8” Long
I bought this to replace my last one that I have used for several years. No, I do not run, but I find it an easy way to carry my phone and not misplace it. I appreciate the addition of the third magnet in the middle of the pouch. It seems to keep the pouch more secure. The second part of the pouch is useful for carrying money or credit cards to eliminate the need for a purse. ... show more

    • Nice, made well but with one issue
Color: Black 6-3/4” Long
These are nice and functional, For me they last about 3-4 months of constant use. Problem is the magnets that are used is too strong for the fabric on the pocket side. It’s too thin and magnetic bar rips through after a few months. They need to reinforce the fabric with the same sturdy fabric as the flap-side, Which holds and keeps magnet in place. I been having to buy a new one every time this happens. Otherwise no other issues. I put my running buddy to constant use and have bought a few as back up. They are nice and better than wearing a fanny pack. Enough for keys, cards and cash. Will keep buying regardless. ... show more

    • Good minimalistic pouch for everyday use and activities
Color: Black 6-3/4” Long
Two large pouches will hold your phone, ID, or any basic necessities. The velcro is a big plus to keep it from flopping around. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max with an Apple case and the phone only fits on the outer pocket. I have to remove it with two hands, one holding the pouch and the other to remove. If you have a thicker phone case, you may have challenges taking it and out. ... show more
