Review on I2 Gear Running Belt Holder by Hassan Tomlinson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Required topic. I have no idea why I've never bought it before.

I love, love, love this belt. I thought it might be too loose or worse too tight but it's perfect. I was also worried it wouldn't fit my phone when I read a review saying it barely fits their phone. Absolutely not true. My phone is an iPhone 6s plus, which is larger than most Androids and about the same size as a Galaxy Note. Not only can I fit my phone, I could easily fit 3 of them. I have enough storage space for headphones, locker lock, watch band and watch strap. There are also two handy pockets, one with a clasp and the other open but with a key loop. You can easily apply money or lip balm. The belt is also made very strong and shows no signs of falling apart regardless of wear and tear. The material of the bag is soft and comfortable to the touch, and the strap itself is elastic enough for almost anyone to wear comfortably. My waist is 25 inches and the fully retracted strap keeps contact with my body with more than enough slack. I haven't measured it fully extended, but I've seen a few larger people at my gym with similar straps that fit them fairly well. Over the years I've worn two bras to the gym, a regular bra with an additional sports bra that I put lip balm and money (yeah yeah, whatever) in. holding something, so I've been carrying shit around the gym with me for the last 12 years. I don't know why it took me so long to buy something like this. The ONLY downside I see is that I occasionally do yoga or pilates without a mat. The buckle on the back of this belt is quite flimsy, but I can imagine it digging into my back which I wear when doing leg raises or squats. Otherwise I would highly recommend this belt to anyone and everyone. everyone. If you are under 25 inches (about size 2), this may be too loose for you. As for me, since I got it to hold my phone (and found it can hold a lot more), I've been in love. I was afraid to wear one of those ridiculous straps.
