Good size and good closure
Great little waist purse. I like that it has a velcro tab instead of zipper. Easier to deal with when it is under a shirt. Good size too - can carry my phone.

The best!
I opted for the horizontal design VS vertical design since I figured it would be easier to sit/bend/crouch without it bumping my leg/lap. Glad I did... I can't even feel it when I'm wearing it!Purchased the xl but found it too snug for my phone (even tho measurements said it would fit). The net/elastic pocket you use to house your phone has a zipper... and the edge of my protective rubbery case on phone kept snagging on the zipper seam edge making it difficult to pull out with ease. When I removed my rubbery case, no issue. So if you have a rubbery/grippy case (VS a smooth one that will slide easily), you may want to consider sizing up. The XXL differs in design a bit though:Returned the XL for the XXL (horizontal design) and my phone with rubbery case slipped in and out with ease perfectly....partly due to it being a bit larger but also because the XXL does not have a zippered net pouch. Worked way better for me. The larger size didn't feel any bigger or bulkier than the xl. It also differed from the XL by having a small area on bottom of net pocket for your earphone cord to go thru (which zips when not in use). It still had the additional solid pocket in both designs (to hold ID, key, etc). Both designs are great... But just worth mentioning the differences.No issue with the magnets... They provide a very secure fit that makes it stay put! Also it's barely noticeable when wearing under loose fitting top over it. Can be worn front or back depending on what tasks you're doing.Wish I had found this sooner! Highly recommend... And appreciate the thought that went into this product.

Nice and roomy
I am not a runner. I got this for work. I have the largest size and I am able to carry my large phone (a Note 9 in a big credit card holder case). I have my ID and some more cards. I like the other inside pocket to put a couple feminine hygiene products in. I am able to collect and carry various business cards and snippets I write in there as well. Its also very easy to access my phone and take it in/out as I need it throughput the day.I am on my 3rd Buddy Pouch. Each pouch I had lasted about 2 years. The magnets are very strong and eventually poke through the fabric. Eventually I get some wear and tear where my phone rubs the fabric as well. But I feel like this is all normal wear and tear and 2 years is a great life for this product. I use it every single day for 12+ hours. I love it.I also love that its not bulky. Im able to wear it without feeling like my stomach is bulging out. It also does not hinder my movement at all. I get the solid black one and it even blends into my work pants so it doesn't even look like I'm carrying anything.The reason I did not give it 5 stars has to do with the magnets. They are quite strong and they often cause the S-pen to disconnect from my phone even though the pen is still physically in the phone. The magnets interfere and my phone can't find its pen... so if i go to write a note on my phone at a time when the phone is disconnected it simply won't work. This has caused me some issues because sometimes I need to write things down quickly (carrying pen/paper is just not practical in what I do). The magnets also cause Google Pay to pop up on my phone even though its still in the pouch. Ill just be walking along and I can hear it swipe open. Im not sure how this could be fixed, though. I cant say I'd change the magnets. Theyre wonderful and keep the pouch exactly in place.

The Buddy Pouch is a winner!
If my dog wasn't already my favorite Running Buddy, the Buddy Pouch would definitely hold that spot. I never run without my driver's license, iPhone and key fob, and the Buddy Pouch sure beats carrying them in the hand that's not holding the leash or hoping they don't bounce out of my shorts pocket (on the one pair of running shorts that even has pockets).I researched other alternatives, like belts and other pouches, but the description of the Buddy Pouch really made it sound like the best choice for my needs. After my first run with it I knew I had made the right choice. It holds my iPhone 6 securely, has a separate inner pouch so I don't have to worry about accidentally ejecting my ID if I remove my phone on the greenway, and the thing is so darn lightweight I forget that I'm even wearing it. Plus, there's still room for a pack of GU, Sport Beans, energy bar, or similar items.I wear mine in the 1:00 o'clock position on my waistband, where the low-profile pouch rides flat and securely, providing easy access to my phone if I need it. The material is soft, non-chafing and water-resistant. I wouldn't hesitate to trust it to keep my stuff dry in a downpour or on the hottest, sweatiest of runs. Although I can't attest to its long-term durability after only a few runs with the Buddy Pouch, I can tell from the quality of the materials and the attention to detail that went into its rugged construction that this is an accessory that will probably outlast my knees.If you're on the fence about whether to go for a running belt or the Buddy Pouch, I suggest coming down on the side of the pouch. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with it. BTW, Running Buddy is a small company that truly appreciates its customers. Don't be surprised if you receive a personal thanks from the owner after you place your order. That's customer relationship management done right!

Strong magnets!
I use this when I run. It fits my keys, credit card, ID, and some cash. Unfortunately it’s not big enough to fit my iPhone 15 Pro Max but if you have a smaller phone, it will fit too. The material protects the contents from getting wet from sweat and the magnet is so strong. It stays on with no problem and I don’t even feel it around my waist. I’m thinking of buying some of these as Christmas gifts
