ULTRA-MARATHONER'S REVIEW OF THE BUDDY POUCH
by Ultra Marathoner, Brian Burk
One of the problems of going on a long run in today’s high tech world is…how do you carry all the gadgets? How do you carry your ID, keys and smart phone?
I recently ran the Graveyard 100 (a 100 mile endurance race run down the Outer Banks of North Carolina) and the Buddy Pouch worked perfectly. The pouch held my Droid MAXX secure, no bounce, no chaff, and sweat free for 100.5 miles over 23 hours. More important to all that is the Buddy Pouch provided me some peace of mind knowing that on the darkest, loneliest and most isolated part of Highway 12 I had my phone with me “just in case.”
I’ll be honest there were times that I forgot I had the pouch on me. The fit and ride on my waist were nonintrusive. Once in position it fit and functioned perfectly.
I highly recommend this product to all runners, and anyone who wants to carry their phones while they exercise, are out on adventures and anywhere you need to have items available but want to be hands free. The second pouch compartment is perfect for keys, medicine, identification, maps or a few extra bucks for an ice cream.

"This worked really well for my daughter. She didn’t have pockets in her running shorts, and this solved her problem without her phone banging into her as she runs. It is large enough for her phone, some cash and a chapstick."

5/12/21 Customer Anita G's Review
Tried several different cell phone carrier products: wrist, upper arm, waist belt...they never felt secure and would slide around my wrist and waist or down my upper arm!! I decided I’d give this as my last effort in trying to find a product that would allow me to track my daily steps in comfort! I am so glad I ordered the Buddy Pouch that fits my IPhone 7S with room for essentials I need when shopping as well!! The Buddy pouch magnet is very strong and stays in place on any waistband that I’ve worn!! I received my order very promptly as well!! I will definitely share with my family and friends about this product line!!!! From one family business owner to another...Thank you very much!!!

I run roughly 4-5 miles and it was so comfortable, didn’t pull my shorts down, and was easily accessible. 100% recommend."

"I have tried so many phone holders for running before but never found one I really liked. There was always a flaw in how it performed. I purchased the running buddy simply to hold my phone while I run and it works perfectly. I clip (magnetize) it on the side of my shorts and I honestly don’t even remember it’s there. It stays in place really well. Highly recommend."

6/4/20 Customer Guido13's Review
"I needed something not as bulky as the belt for some of my shorter runs. I prefer to have my phone with me but holding it is not comfortable and some shorts pockets make it bounce around everywhere. Armbands typically do not fit. This worked like a gem. The magnets are very strong to hold in place and fits my iPhone XS without issues. Also can fit a key and some extra items. Protects iPhone in cushion and is somewhat water resistant for rain. Loved it so much bought one for my son a day later for when he is doing his baseball drills in the yard. He likes to have muscle but doesn’t like leaving his phone in pocket or exposed in sun. This clips comfortable on back of pants. And he can also leave on ground and it is protected from sun and elements."

“This is a great product. My husband and I each have one, and we use them for running, cycling, hiking and just being outside. This is a great product and has solved a running challenge for me. I don't like arm bands and most of my summer running clothes don't have pockets, so this product is an ideal way to carry my phone.”
4/3/20 - Customer Patricia S's Review
“I use the buddy pouch for running. I use it especially for my longer runs to hold gels, keys, etc. It stays in place so well I forget that I have it on. I just ran a half marathon race and no issues at all...that's how comfortable it is and it doesn't move. I do make sure my shorts have an elastic waist band to make sure my shorts don't sag. I also purchased the H2O pouch to use for my runs and just refill the water bottle at park water fountains. So I have the buddy pouch at the back and the H2O pouch in front and have had zero issues. I now have my running friends try it out and they are amazed how it doesn't bounce. It truly is a great product and will make a world of difference when running.”

"I have other Running Buddy products & love them so I reordered a few of them (the Mini Pouch & H2o Pouch) and then the NEW to me Mini "PLUS". It works perfectly for my 5-l/2" phone and I love the vertical design (I have two of the horizontal designs but this works much better for me). It does not feel "bulky" or "weigh me down". I'm a Volksporter (do 5k & 10k walks) and it feels secure; the magnets are strong. It's a good product. Thanks!"

8/17/19 Customer Rita H's Review
"I received my XL Running Buddy, to use with my Pixel 2, about 3 weeks ago now, just in time to run a 4th of July 5k and it is such an amazing product and STAYS WHERE IT IS PUT.
I usually run with a waist band but I spend an inordinate amount of time pushing the band back down or tightening the belt... I've tried every type of belt out there (it feels like) but they always ride up and I really do not enjoy the armbands restrictiveness and the feeling of added weight (even though slight weight I suppose I just think about it too much).
During my race and all subsequent runs the Running Buddy has been a "set it and forget" it addition. Once it is on I barely notice it; there is no bouncing, shifting or tightening to fix. I've even used it for speed work sprints and it performed perfectly. THIS IS THE PERFECT OPTION."

"I live in a hot, dry climate and it has been hard figuring out how to get water during my long runs. Holding a water bottle would throw off my stride and was uncomfortable. I saw an add for the Running Buddy and everything matched with what I was looking for and instantly bought. I’ve been using this product since I got it and I couldn’t be happier. Shipping was fast, product was as described and I could barely even tell I had attached the Running Buddy to my running belt. It was comfortable, easy to get on and off, easy to take the water bottle out while running and put away! I couldn’t be more excited to have found this product!!!"

Was skeptical about this. I'm 5'9. 230, beer belly. Got a big phone, plus keys I need to hold. Slid them both in, secured it to my side and took off. Was expecting it to drag down my sweats, but it never did. Most of the time I forgot it was there. It does exactly what it says, glad I tried it. Much more comfortable then the arm band.

The running buddy is awesome! I used to run with a phone holster or an arm band but I could never access my phone in the arm band and it would talk some time to take it out and the phone would bounce too much in the holster. The running buddy makes the phone easy to access if I need it and still secure without bouncing while running.

It’s the perfect size to carry a phone, key, cash or credit card. I love the ability to have headphones plugged in. It is not over bulky when running and holds sturdy and doesn’t flap around. It is a convienient way to be hands free whether you’re a runner or not. I highly recommend to all."

"I have been running with music for years....starting way back holding a "skip" free CD player...as technology as progressed, I have always sought the ability to carry my music (now a phone) with no cumbersomeness and NO bounce. The Running Buddy is the only product I have every found that does that at 100%. I am on my second Running Buddy- not because I had problems with my first one..it is still in perfect shape...but because I have a bigger phone and needed the XL RB. In the YEARS that I have been running with the RB- it has never done anything but performed at 100%. It never bounces...in fact..it stays in place so well that once I get into my running groove... I cannot even tell it is there anymore. One of the best products I have every purchased..whether I am doing sprint workouts..cycling..or running marathons..(i have ran 2 with the RB)..it never fails...it actually holds up better to running than I do..."

I was so tired of more expensive Bluetooth headphones breaking quickly and not being sweat-resistant. These headphones are durable with excellent sound quality and long battery life. Went on a 3 hr run the other day and had clear tunes the whole time. Also, Buddy Pouch is a great alternative to my waist belt that I was previously using to carry my phone."

“I have been running with the Running Buddy for a month now. It is by far the best accessory I have gotten for my afternoon jogs! I always had a problem with arm bands for my iPhone with sliding down my arm, or cutting my circulation off by being to tight. I never cared for the feeling of having something on my arm anyway! With this product just slide my phone into the pouch and hook it on my shorts in the front or back and go. No annoying bouncing at all; just hook it( the magnets are strong) on and go! This product seems well made and durable. I run 3-4 miles at least 3 days a week and have had no issues at all!! Thanks for making a great product!!”

“I had been running with arm bands for years. After trying the running buddy I will never use anything else. Before trying it I was worried it would "bounce," but it doesn't. At all. I let my husband use it and he loved it as well. When we run together he had to use the armband, but now hates it! So we just ordered another running buddy for him. Great product that I will recommend to all my runner friends!”

“Love it! Good bye stupid armband with your constant mid run readjustments, blood restriction to my arm, and awkward mid run phone checks. Good bye having to removing my iPhone from its otter box and wrapping it in plastic wrap to then stuff it into something I didn't want to wear anyway. Hello easy phone access, grab and go convenience, and (surprisingly) comfortable wear. I honestly thought that it would bounce more, but it doesn't. Well, best thing when paired with my plantronics back beat fit headphones. Now I can just go run! A simple, but fantastic running product!”

5/1/18 Customer Heather H's Review
“I LOVE my Buddy Pouch. I used to have a dumb phone and wore a bulky fuel belt even on short runs. Upgraded my phone to a "smart phone" so I needed to upgrade my belt. The Buddy Pouch is better than a belt. Certainly not bulky at all - stays in place and is easy to get to my phone to snap a pix when I am out on the run. I also find it handy when I am just out and about and don't want to carry a purse. I like hands free whether its running, shopping or just out with the girls. I am looking at completely replacing my fuel belt with the H2O Pouch and Mini Pouch for my keys and Chap-stick. Perfect combo for hands free! Highly recommend for anyone who want to be hands free and secure in carrying what you need for when you need it. Nothing worse than an accidental kissing of the pavement with your hands full unable to catch yourself. Happy trials!!!”

"I use my buddy pouch for all my runs. I have used it for full marathons, 1/2 marathons and all my training runs. It has been easy to use. My phone is always safe and it’s easy for me to use during my runs. I also use it to store snacks for my runs."

“I love it! I have used many things to take my keys, phone, and even money while I am exercising, but never got something like this. I do not need a strap. It always hold in the same position while I ran or walk, or even weight exercises. It has the right capacity and it is not too big, or too little. I like it very much.”

3/10/18 Customer Kevin W's Review
"I have had this pouch for a week, so this review is based on only five runs, but it is doing a great job. The best feature is that it is both comfortable and easy to use. The opening for my phone is wide enough to insert it and remove it easily. So many belt-style holders use small openings. You will likely enjoy this more than a running belt if you carry a larger phone."

“After I bought my first running buddy I knew I needed one for the suitcase since I travel so much and one for my real running buddy
I love that they stay put, no more getting tangled with the arm band which got so sweaty. This dries quickly and keeps the phone dry. Would definitely recommend it to any runner, walker, hiker or just wants to keep their hands free.”

The phone armbands are not comfortable and leggings with pockets big enough for a phone are hard to find, so the Running Buddy is a perfect solution. I couldn’t wait to show my Running Buddy to other members at my gym and they couldn’t wait to order it. Great product!!"

The first time I wore it, I had to keep checking to make sure it was still there, it is very light and stays put with the powerful magnets. I plan on purchasing more for gifts.”

"I used the Buddy "Bib" Clips for my last weekend NYC Marathon in a steady cold drizzle. The clips secured the entire race! I did not feel that I had them on! They were easy to put on after 2 tries. Although there are no holes on my race shirt, there are small dimples on the shirt after washing. Overall, I love these clips and will use them again! I strongly recommend this amazing running product!" SEE the Buddy "Bib" Clips HERE - Buddy "Bib" Clips
12/6/17 Customer Michael R's Review
“This product is awesome! I have ran marathons, 10k's, trail runs, etc and I don't even notice it there. I also do track sprints and it doesn't affect me at all. Having your phone and essentials close to your waist works with your center of gravity and doesn't become annoying like an arm band. I wear it in the front. You don't have to worry about cutting off circulation like an armband. You can run free with this amazing product! Design keeps your stuff inside dry. I sweat A LOT and my ID, phone, and badge stay dry. Magnets are very strong. Works great if you have bluetooth headphones and want to go cable free. Also great in the gym. I stick it to the sides of the smith machines when i do work outs so i have my essentials close to me.” SEE ALL SIZES OF THE BUDDY POUCH HERE - Buddy Pouch

11/12/17 Customer Kate L's Review
"Maybe it is just me, but I have a difficult time finding blue tooth head phones that have staying power. I had LGs but the wires inside would fray and then no music. I bought Dr. Dre's Beat ear buds version 3. Apparently, they have a glitch as I have had 3 pairs all of which had to be returned. I expect more for 150 dollars. Then I bought a pair of Ankers on Amazon. 39.99 and you guessed it - they lasted one run and then would not turn on. My Running buddy ear buds are great. They have the over the ear loop to make sure they stay put. They have clear sound quality and bass is also good. Comfort is great also. They are not heavy and the connector cord is not in the way. Great product and I highly recommend the same." See the X2 Bluetooth Headphones Here - X2 Bluetooth Headphones
11/5/17 Customer Cay R's Review
"Trust the runners (and walkers, travelers, folks-on-the-go, etc.) who have rated the Running Buddy line with 5 stars -- they're right. When worn properly, the magnets grip on and don't let go, which gives me peace of mind and the ability to carry my water (no leaks), cell phone, keys, energy chews, etc. anywhere. The pouches are lightweight and easy to wear on fitted pants and shorts, though my significant other wears his on drawstring shorts and has no issues (he took one look at mine when it arrived and bought the twin set for himself!).
Buy it, you won't regret it." See Cay's XL Bundle HERE - XL Buddy Pouch & H2O

At my last race it held my iPhone 7, ID, cash, bike lock key with key ring, and race bib. I was able to ride my bike 6 miles to the race without worrying about taking a bag/backpack to check in. I attached my bib when I arrived, locked up my bike and headed to the race. Afterwards I had my ID for the post race beer and never once worried about losing any of the items I had tucked in the pouch. The magnets are very strong and held up great, I didn't even notice the pouch as I ran either. Great product and I will be buying more for other family members."

"Great product! I'm relatively new to running and have been trying various hydration systems. These H2O pouches have been great. Initially I had some difficulties because the larger bottles were leaking, but I reached out to customer service and they were very friendly and helpful and sent me replacement bottles. The replacements as well as the original smaller bottles work great. I was using a handheld bottle previously, but I really prefer having my hands free. Now I run with the two H2O pouches on my back, spaced as far apart as possible (I clip them onto a belt versus my waistband) and they stay put, are easy to access, and fully meet my needs. I also like having the various sized bottles so I can change how much I'm carrying based on how far I'm planning on running. I highly recommend this product!"

5/31/17 Customer Heather S's Review
"I bought this a couple of years ago after running a race and being very unhappy with my belt. The Running Buddy XL has been perfect. It holds everything I need (phone, key, license, Gu, money, etc). It fits right under my shirt and doesn't leave a big bump. While running, there is no bounce or slippage. I actually forget it is even there! My Running Buddy has seen many miles and shows no sign of wear. *It even has some kind of sweat guard that protects my items! I bought it on a whim and it was truly one of the best running purchases I've ever made!" See the XL Buddy Pouch Here - XL Buddy Pouch

Much better solution than the running belt I have used in the past. No chaffing and no bouncing in the front position." See the XXL Buddy Pouch Here - XXL Buddy Pouch
5/8/17 Customer Riley W's Review
"I have had this pouch for a few years now and I can't imagine running without it. It easily holds my phone in the water resistant section and the other sections have room for money, ID, and/or gels. You can chose where on your waistband to use it. When I wear shorts, I find it works best for me attached to the middle of the back and when I wear tights, it works best on the front side of my hip. It doesn't bounce and I really don't notice it at all. It has kept my phone 100% dry in the rain. If that makes you nervous, there is plenty of room to put your phone in a ziplock bag and have it still fit in the pouch. The part that is against your skin is soft and slightly padded so it does not chafe. The magnets are strong and give the pouch the flexibility to attach to any type of gear, summer through winter. My phone is easy to get in and out of the pouch as needed. I use wireless headphones so I don't have an issue or need to use wires with the pouch. This has become such a critical part of my running that I purchased a second one at an out of state race expo because I forgotten to pack mine. I run over 1,000 miles a year, do marathons, half marathons, and countless other races. This is a must have piece of gear for me. I highly recommend it!"

There are so many others ways I have put this to use beyond my regular exercise: kayaking on the lake, walks on the beach, general strolls around town. It is so great to be hands free and yet have something to drink when you need it! I would also like to give 5 stars to Customer Service. My 10 oz bottle was defective and leaked. I emailed them about the problem, and they sent me a new one the next business day. I just could not be happier with the product or the service."

"Perfect solution. Like many people, I always carry my phone on runs. I tried an armband and a belt before the Running Buddy pouch and found the pouch to be my favorite, by far. I secure it around the waist band of my shorts in the small of my back and forget it's there. I've been using one for several months and bought this additional pouch for my wife to use at the gym. This will keep her from "borrowing" mine."

"Running shoes: $150.00. GPS watch $300.00. Compression Shorts: $75.00. Running Buddy: PRICELESS (but 20 bucks). I took this thing out for an 8 mile run this morning and TBH it was simply glorious. I'd been running for the last 4 years with a belt to put my phone and stuff in. It was nice and I appreciate the work it has put in, but that thing would slide up and start rubbing my all over in a bad way. It was also clunky and even became "heavy" for longer runs. NOT the running buddy though. I literally forgot it was there. It was a hard run too, hills and everything. It had a very slight bounce while I was running down a massive hill, but nothing that distracted me. I recommend this to any runner who likes to cary their phone with them for any reason. I have the 7+ (the big one...thats what she said) and it didn't drag my shorts down like some had mentioned below. I did go ahead and tie the drawstring just to be sure though. This thing is wonderful." SEE THE XL BUDDY POUCH ➜ XL BUDDY POUCH

"A solid 2 thumbs up!!! To date, I had bought 3 different running belts and nothing was exactly what I needed...until now!!! This is so simple...I'm kicking myself for not buying it when I first saw it. This XL pouch comfortably fits my Galaxy Note 5 (in the Damada Slide Wallet Case), house key on a small key chain, and some cash...what else could I need when I'm out walking/running!!! The magnets are really strong, so I'm not worried about it falling off. And because of the slim profile, it's barely noticeable under my shirt. I will definitely be giving this to a few of my walking/running buddies as gifts. I will also use this when travelling or out shopping, to keep my phone and cash/credit cards/passport close to me.
**NOTE** Perfect if you are a larger person!!! No more running belts that don't fit right or trying to find an extender belt."

I have worn this to 10+ 5k races, 2 half marathons, countless daily runs and I have yet to think anything less than love love love for my Running Buddy. Seriously. No chaffing...I can't say that about my armband. No bouncing! I actually find myself checking a few times during a long run to make sure it is even there...yup...always there! Even in the dreaded racing porta-potties. I've never been afraid of dropping it."

"I used my Running Buddy a couple of weeks ago while doing the Color Run. It was great and protected my "stuff" even in the pouring rain!"

"Dry Money for beer! After a hard spring with a lot of rain, the running buddy works like a gem for my 5 and 10k's! Keeps everything in place but most importantly the monies dry for post run beer celebrations!"

"Used mine for the NYC Half. Strong magnets, held in place & didn't shift, held all my Gu's, keys & charger! Great product, would recommend!"

"Well-constructed. I plan on using this on the hiking trails, and as a commuter purse while traveling abroad. The magnets that hold the pouch to your waistband are super strong! Great product!"
7/14/16 Customer Craig T's Review
"I finally found what I was looking for with the Running Buddy! I have tried other, more expensive, products to use while I go for a run or long walk but nothing has worked as well as this product. It not only holds my phone but I can access it easily if needed. It stays secure and you forget it is on. The fact that it wicks moisture away is fantastic! Have recommended it to family and friends!"

"I love mine . I purchased mine from the expo at RunDisney. It was comfortable, not bulky like some others and it held in place."
7/6/16 Customer Jody S's Review
"The Running Buddy Pouch holds phone, ID, keys and it doesn't bounce around on your waist. The magnets are very strong and everything stays in place. The water bottles (comes with 2 bottles - 7 & 10 oz) does not move around at all. I barely noticed it was there even when it was full of water!"
7/2/16 Customer Anne S's Review
"Though I walk rather than run, I still need to carry my phone, ID, tissue, keys, etc. The Running Buddy fills the bill. I can't wait to try it out on my next cruise or vacation."

"I wore mine at the Disney Princess 10k, Half Marathon and in the parks I loved mine so much I bought 2 more for gifts!"
6/25/16 Customer Susan M's Review
"I purchased the Buddy pouch 6 + in the super saver bundle. I am a pretty new runner and have had trouble finding a comfortable way not only carrying my phone and other items but also having a way to wear my earphones without getting tangled in them. I am so happy with this product! The opening for the earphones is ingenious and I can run them through my shirt to avoid the knock your phone off the treadmill issue. I also love the lightweight feel with even the larger running buddy, I don't even notice it and have now run with it several times on a treadmill and outside."

"I finally got mine and I ran 6 miles and the sucker did not move one bit! It stays in place and very comfortable. I ordered the mini but I wish I ordered the next size up. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

"I have purchased four Running Buddy's. I gave one to my daughter who ran in the Disney Princess walk/run. She said the Running Buddy was perfect. I gave one to my granddaughter who is going on a cruise in May. I love being able to take my Running Buddy instead of my big purse all the time."
6/20/16 Customer Diane D's Review
"The running buddy stays put when running. I have the 2 sizes and the water holder. You don't even know the pouches are there. They hold a lot. I just bought the crocodile clutch and am anxious to use it on trips."
6/15/16 Customer Catherine G's Review
"I used the Buddy Pouch for the first time yesterday for the Lost Dutchman event in Apache Junction, AZ. It's perfect for a race! I was able to carry my iPhone in the main section, plus my [fat] car key, credit card, ID, cash, and a gel (it would actually fit several gels, if they're small packets) in the other section. I chose to wear it in the small of my back, and ran the headphone cord through my shirt, so the cord never got in my way (and never got yanked by my flailing arms, hahaa). The little zipper is perfect - you can snug it right up against the cord. There was a very tiny bit of "butt bounce," due to where I chose to wear it (in the back, and on a low-rise waistband) but after a few minutes I didn't even notice it. I never felt like it was going to open or fall off or even budge, and the magnets held tight even though I wore it over/around two garments - tights and a skirt (yes, low 50s is cold in AZ!). On a regular, non-event run or a hike, I'd probably wear it in front off to the side, so that my phone is handy for pics, but for an event, out of sight was out of mind! I loved the feeling of running totally free of any encumbrance. Oh, and as a self-proclaimed "delicate flower," I also loved that the section that goes against your skin is completely soft, with nothing that will chafe, scratch or annoy you. "Is it perfect?" -- it's perfect enough, and it's definitely perfect for me."
6/14/16 Customer Tom J's Review
"I've always carried my phone in my hand while I run because I couldn't find a holder that didn't drive me crazy. Been using using this one for a few weeks, and have had a few "where's my phone?" Panics because after a few minutes running I can't even tell its there. This thing is awesome."

"I've used my XL Running Buddy on two of my training runs. I was pleasantly surprised that it held everything I needed but didn't weigh me down."
6/4/16 Customer Nicole B's Review
"I use it on every single run! Love it- it never shakes around and keeps my stuff secure."
6/2/16 Customer Pam A's Review
"Cannot say enough good things about this product. The XL version is the second one I ordered. Fits my iphone 6. Has slot for earphone to come out when I train. Lightweight and strong."
Customer J. R. Hughes’s Review
“I'm an avid runner and for years was looking for the right product to hold my phone, ID, money, and keys. I was turned onto the Running Buddy by a fellow runner. A few weeks later I bought a Running Buddy, and I've never looked back. I don't run without my 'buddy'. It holds my phone, money, and ID. It fits securely on my waistband, never moves, never any fear of it falling off. My 'buddy' has been with me for every distance race I've done from a 5K to a full marathon. I definitely recommend this product for any runner.”
Customer Kristin Williams’s Review
“I have tried many products to carry my phone,keys, gels. Either too blunky, or they bounce, or combersome. This product is wonderful. It has 2 compartments, plenty of room for my iphone 6, keys, tissue, gels. the magnetic flap it super strong, when clipped on my waist band it doesn't bounce, it stays put on long runs and while mountain biking. I have a waist dog leash that i use to run with my dog and i snap it on there as well. I highly recommend this product!!”
Customer Sharra Wofford’s Review
“Love the running buddy! I have always worn an armband when I go running but it gets so sweaty and sometimes slides down my arm. Plus I have very skinny arms so it's always so tight. With the running buddy I don't have to worry about any of that. It stays in place and doesn't bounce whether I'm walking or running. Well worth the money.”
Customer Veronica Torres’s Review
“I love my Running Buddy .. I have used it for several races, as well as all my training runs for my 1/2 Marathon, and I cannot even tell I'm wearing it. I purchased one for my running buddy and she LOVES it.. Great feeling of safety knowing you have great quick easy access to your phone, keys etc. I would highly recommend and know you will be truly satisfied as I am. Has exceeded all of my expectations and more.”
Customer Trish’s Martinez’s Review
“Awesome product! First of all, I was pleased with the fast shipping, they came before the new iPods were delivered. My husband and I, live in AZ. One day, we ran when it was 109. We fried our iPods. Sweat leaked into both of them. I was done! I have ruined too many iPods with sweat. I went online and ordered two more iPods, but I knew it would happen again if we didn't keep them in something other than just being clipped to our shorts. I discovered the Running Buddy and it was exactly what I was looking for. I ordered two.
When they arrived, I was even more thrilled with the way they was designed. I know a runner had to have designed the Running Buddy because it is lightweight but does the job. You can't even tell you're running with it. I am so pleased with this product. I know I will never ruin an iPod with sweat or rain again. This week, it started to rain at the end of our run. I knew my iPod was protected and I didn't worry one bit about it getting wet because of the design and the material. I'm sure it could be used for many things like keys or for holding identification, etc. No runner wants to be weighed down!!! You can't even feel it! It doesn't bounce when you run because of its unique design! I tell you, a runner had to have designed it! It's perfection at its BEST!”
Customer A’s Review
“This is a great product! I was using a Running Belt for my phone, keys and ID. Everything barely fit. A couple of times that I pulled my phone out, my keys and/or ID fell out.
With the Running Buddy pouch and the smaller Running Buddy, I'm able to carry everything with no issue. I put the larger one on my back and the smaller one on in the front and I've had no issue what so ever with them staying put.”
Customer Kathleen Powell’s Review
“Great product!! The magnets are strong and keep the pouch in place, it's easy to get into, doesn't interfere with my bluetooth headphones and keeps my phone from getting sweaty during runs! it's large enough to carry my keys too. I'll be back for the water bottle carrier!”
Customer Seraph J. Sharpe’s Review
“Love this product! I've worn a running belt and and arm band and neither have been as useful or non hindering as this product. Easy access to my phone when I need it, but it completely stays out of my way when I run want to run and listen to music.”
Customer Hhatley28’s Review
“Must have. Perfect for running. iPhone 6 with slim case is tight but works (won't work with iPhone 6 with life proof) - need the 6+ Buddy Pouch. Love my running buddy. Bought one for the wife. I run anywhere from 3 to 8 miles with it. Holds gels too”
Customer ThinkingGirl’s Review
“I've been using this for about a year - because women's running shorts DON'T HAVE POCKETS big enough for your phone/iPod etc. What is UP with that!? So this is a portable pocket (a pocket of holding) that is great for your phone and an ID for runs and races. Could also hold a single car key. They have bigger sizes, but this is the one that works for my iPhone 5. Beware though - I washed it and put through dryer and it did shrink a lil bit, which now makes it harder to get my phone in and out. My phone does have a battery case, though so it's slightly oversized. The Mini wouldn't work for a bigger than iPhone 5 though. The magnets are really strong and once I get this lil' sucker in place it stays there, even for long races 13+ miles.
Customer Michelle VanSlambrouck’s Review
“Great product!! So much better than arm bands. Holds cell phone safely and securely. Even logging in longer distances the running buddy holds up extremely well. Going to order an extra one for my running partner.”
Customer Heather D’s Review
“I used this pink cutie on a bike ride today and didn't even know it was there. It stayed put on front as did the water bottle version which I wore on back. Love it!”
Customer Johnathan C. Walton’s Review
“You could even use it as an extra pocket if you wanted. I stick my keys, my cell phone (Galaxy S6 Edge without the case), and an ID when I go for my runs. The phone is the heaviest and largest item but it's fine for running. I clip it on my side when running and on the back of my shorts when biking."
Customer Angela C. Beacham’s Review
“I personally wear this along my back and it works perfectly! Keeps my phone, id card and house key safe and dry while walking/running. Doesn't bounce while running. I highly recommend this to anyone who no longer wishes to carry their phone or has difficulty with the arm bands.”
Customer A. Nowlin’s Review
“I bought this pouch for a 10K race where I had to carry my passport. The magnets were totally secure, as was the velcro. My passport fit easily, and I could have carried my iPhone as well. I was worried that sweat might damage my passport, but the inside of the pouch stayed completely dry. I highly recommend the Running Buddy.”
Customer R. Schafer’s Review
“This sounds crazy, but this was a running lifesaver for me!! The belts would constantly need adjustment and the arm bands would chafe my arm. This is perfect. Mine survived a Spartan easily!! I'm thinking of buying a spare in case mine gets lost!!”
Customer Wendy Robinson’s Review
“Love this. I'm a cyclist and runner. I ordered one to fit my droid phone (fits perfect) I wanted something to hold my phone when I cycle on days that I don't wear a cycling jersey. It works just like the pockets of a jersey. I love it. As for running, you don't know you even have it on. I wear it on my backside. I do have to make sure that my running shorts have a tight waist band in order for it to hold tight. I have since order another for a friend who admired mine. These running pouches will be a sure thing on my Christmas list giving. Craftsmanship is top of the line.”
Customer Vicki Weeks’s Review
“I am absolutely in love with my running buddy pouch! It is everything as advertised: roomy enough to hold my iPhone, money, IDs, keys. Best of all it DOES NOT move! They did not lie. I was skeptical but I have run 3-10 mile runs with it and it stays put the whole time. I do not miss my sliding armband and have not gone back to it since first wearing the buddy pouch. I have purchased one for a friend and she loves it too. Even if you're not a runner, this pouch can be a win for you. I'm wearing it to a friend's charity event soon to collect money as I sell raffle tickets. Great product!”
Customer ute747’s Review
“I bought the Running Buddy pouch to carry my iphone5 while I run. I wear it in the front, offset to the right and it works great. Absolutely no bounce. I use wired earbuds and have put 3 button holes up the front of my dedicated running shirts to keep the wires from moving around. The Running Buddy has proved to be the most secure and most comfortable way for me to use my phone while I run. Thanks!”
Customer Christina Grey’s Review
“The answer I have been looking for! This was recommended to me by my sister who is also a big fan. I wanted to run with my iPhone 6, but did NOT want to put in on my arm. This is just the answer! I am a leisure runner with a bit of a post-pregnancy belly. I put this on my waterbelt (old Ultimate Direction model) waist strap and it works perfectly (very stable, no jiggle). I have my phone in the Apple leather case and it fits well inside the running buddy- though I will say attached headphones makes it easier to pull in/out. I like the additional pocket for a credit card/ID as well. I have found this product so handy that I have attached it to my waist for talking on the phone around the house (via headphones) while cleaning as I don't own a wireless bluetooth earpiece. Definitely an awesome product.”
Customer Amy’s Review
“I bought this to attach to my Nathan hydration belt because I could not find a cell phone pouch large enough for my iPhone 6. It attaches easily with magnets and states on the packaging to place in the front or rear of your waistband. My Nathan belt has the water bottles on the back so that wasn't an option. I attempted to attach it to the side, which it states in the packaging not to do because it doesn't ensure a good fit, and they were right....not a good fit. So I secured the Running Buddy over the buckle in the front of my Nathan belt and it fit well. The Running Buddy has a divider inside that makes two pockets. The one closest to your body is the more protected one (may even be waterproof?) and I couldn't fit my phone into it with a Pelican case so I put my phone in a Ziploc and crammed it into the other section. The outer section has more give to the material and was able to stretch a little more than the pocket closer to your body. I have to admit, I was skeptical, but this pouch was awesome. It held on the entire time and never felt like it was flopping or loose. I have done two 10 mile runs with it attached this way.”
Customer Christy L. Jaeger’s Review
“Love this for running and biking. Does work best with tighter waistbands. Great for holding phone and keys. Magnets are strong so stays in place.”
Customer Doc’s Review
“I love it!! You don't even know its on you. Walking, running, biking or doing some weight work outs, it works great. I have an Iphone and it fits in nicely and keeps everything dry. Also has to 2 pockets on the inside. You can put a key or whatever else you need as well as phone. Can't wait to use it while running outside.”
Customer Masumara007’s Review
“Awesome product! I can go on the treadmill (gym) and run in the neighborhood AND practice tennis etc. Very comfortable and very secured in my waistband!!! I'm very happy with the product!!! THANK YOU!!!”
Customer Carolyn Johnson’s Review
“I bought the running buddy 6+ case knowing I would get a new phone and it works great with my iPhone 6! I am a runner who runs distances from 5K to half marathons. I love not wearing an armband anymore and didn't want to wear anything around my waist. The magnets are very strong and hold everything in place. I recently moved my daughter to Orlando. I was in the car riding down and then flew home the next day. I didn't want to have to take a purse, so my running buddy was my travel buddy too! This is a great product!”
Customer Thomas L. Jackson’s Review
“I purchased an iPhone 6 Plus. I love it, but immediately realized I needed something to hold it while exercising. I did not find armbands satisfactory. The size of the phone make armbands cumbersome. The running buddy works great. As other reviewers have mentioned, the built-in magnets are very strong and hold the pouch well. I put it on, start my music and slip it into the pouch. In combination with my bluetooth headphones, it adds greatly to my workout. Right now I use it while on the elliptical and weight training. When the weather gets better I am confident it will work just as well for walks and runs.
My advice is to buy it. You cannot go wrong.”
Customer Turtle’s Review
“I'm an ultra-distance runner and I like to track my runs with an app on my phone. I also use the phone for listening to audiobooks or music while on 10-30 hour runs. On supported races, I prefer not to wear a backpack, but I still need some place to put my phone. In the past, I've tucked the phone into my compression shorts, but it tends to fall out slowly, need constant adjusting, etc. I hate armband phone holders that always end up sitting in my elbow and bouncing around.
So I decided to try the Running Buddy. IT'S PERFECT. It snaps into place easily and doesn't bounce at all. It just sits there, holding my phone, doing exactly what I need. GPS works great, my tracking app works great, and my phone is right there (I did text my crew a couple times to let them know I was coming in - so it was nice to be able to grab the phone out, use it, and tuck it back in - takes a few seconds only). I used the Running Buddy during a 50-mile race during a massive rain storm (8" of rain during the race) with near freezing (sub-40 degree temps the whole time, with lots of mud and river crossings. Phone was perfectly well protected in the water resistant pouch, and I never had to think about it.
