BANDI Large Pocket Belt Holds Phone for Running, Travel, Medical, Adjustable Fit, Comfortable (Strata Blue Royal)

Sizing shown on this site is VERY inaccurate. The diagram with measurements implies that at maximum adjustable length, the belt is 42 inches; in reality, it's 32 inches at maximum length. Since it's meant to be worn around the hips not the waist, this product is unsuitable for anyone but the thinnest woman.

The Bandi large pocket belt works well for holding my minimed insulin pump. It seems secure because there is a stretchy fabric flap over the pocket. I put my pump in the medium size pocket, my Pixel 2XL is in the large pocket and I could still put keys in the tiny pocket. The fabric is soft and stretchy. I have a 38" waist and this fits without being tight at all. I do think they should make the belt an inch or 2 longer. I did not realize the large pocket has 2 firm inserts (maybe a thin foam) but that will keep the belt from rolling up. I put my 3" x 6" phone (no case) between the 2 pieces of foam and it feels protected. I like that the buckle is flat. I wish the buckle was more comfortable. Maybe the maker can put a small sleeve over the buckle so it does not pinch the skin? I usually wear the belt inside my shirt to hold just my insulin pump. If my phone is in the belt I guess I will wear it on the outside but then my insulin tubing will be visible.

Not worth $30. Same problems as every running belt I have used- they bounce, they rise-up, they don't stay in one place, and I have to adjust often. This one bounces, rises-up, doesn't stay in one place, and I have to adjust often.Oh, and it looks super bulky with just my phone in it. With 2 gels and my phone, it looks super bulgy-bulky and bounces even more.The soft material does not cause chafing on my skin- so that is why I give it 3 stars and not 1 star, because the material is super soft and doesn't chafe.

Love this Bandi! Got it as a Christmas present! Love the pattern and love the padded sections to keep things separated. My phone fits securely and the fold-over flap keeps my phone from falling out. I have used the Bandi while on the treadmill and had no problems with slippage. Didn't know at first that there is an additional little pocket on the side to hide a credit card, hotel key card or a car key. Love it and plan to purchase another in a more neutral design so that I can wear with more outfits. Highly recommended!

This is actually our third BANDI. My wife had a smaller version for her older model iPhone and loves being able to take it with her when she's wearing athletic wear (pocketless, of course). We then upgraded to the Large Pocket Passport Belt, which works perfectly with her iPhone 6S Plus. She wears it anytime she doesn't have pockets that fit the enormous new iPhone, which is almost daily. We have now also purchased one for my 90 year old Grandmother so that she can have it on her when she's out gardening on her own, in case she needed to call someone for help, the phone would be nearby. Can't review from that perspective, as we're not sure she will use it--however, if she does, I'm sure it will be comfortable and will protect both her and the iPhone.

I wanted this belt to carry my Samsung Galaxy S6. While the phone just fits, the belt looks and feels packed to the brim with only that one thing. At that point it is nearly as stylish as a regular fanny pack. It is also noticeable beneath my shirt, which is not skin tight. The Bandi belt is not exactly the functional and sleek solution I was hoping for. Not sure if I will keep the belt.

Bandi has really produced something unusual esp ease of use, comfort, and practicality! I've purchased these form manufacturer, at same price point, minus shipping, and this elastic 'waist band' has saved me from having to use a belt holster for cell phone. Really easy to manipulate, regards storage, and access. Never lose your cell phone again! If jogging, its light weight and can store limited size wallets, normal sized cell phones, and spare change. I never leave home without it! Faux pau, the fastener, plastic, sometimes is a challenge, so it has 'little' learning curve. You should not be disapointed!

I wanted large and got the regular size. I don't think it would hold anything bigger than the iPhone 5. Well made though and doesn't use zippers which like to break. Can use with Summer dress as a belt when you don't have pockets.
