Customer Ratings & Reviews

During my years of running, I’ve come to appreciate a running belt for taking my phone with me, as opposed to arm bands or other solutions. That’s because a running belt holds the phone securely without constantly reminding you that it’s there. I’ve used a number of cheaper belts like this, but I decided it was time to try out a nicer one, which is where this Insignia belt comes in. The belt is black with neon green and yellow accents, and a few stripes of reflective tape. It’s made of a slightly stretchy nylon material on the outside, and the inside is lined with a slick coating that would seem to provide some water resistance. Although Best Buy says it’s not water resistant, I found that the interior coating protected my phone from getting wet from my sweat while I ran. Looking at its construction, I’m not sure how well it would do in a rainstorm, but I think it would provide at least enough protection to get out of the rain. The belt has a large main pocket to accommodate phones up to 7 inches. It was plenty big enough for my iPhone 12 in a case. What’s nice about this belt is that it also has separate compartments to allow you to carry other things. On each side of the phone pocket are compartments for things like keys other little items you may want to have with you. One of these pockets also features an integrated clip to hold your key in place, and this is a nice touch. There are also 2 slim pockets behind the phone compartment that could be used to keep folded money if you like. The Insignia Running Belt is well-made and held my phone in place without bouncing while I ran—this is what’s most important to me. Adjusting the belt’s sizing is easy to do, with an integrated finger loop included. The only area that concerned me was the belt’s clip. It feels pretty solid, but the plastic is thin, causing me to wonder about its long-term strength. Time will tell, and perhaps the thinner plastic will prove to be more comfortable than something thicker. Overall, this is a nicer belt than others I’ve used. If you’re looking for something to hold your phone without bouncing around to annoy you during your run, this is a good choice. If you need something fully waterproof, you’ll need to look elsewhere.

If I would have seen it in a store I would have not purchased it

Package was stolen so can’t review. Guess it must be good.

This Insignia running belt is great for keeping your phone and other small necessities with you when running and/or working out. Easily holds a large phone with case. Example- Pixel 6 Pro, One Plus 11 and Iphone 14Pro max. Can also hold an ID/credit card and a single key. I only used with Bluetooth headsets, no lag, connection issues or distortion. The reflective materiel is extremely reflective. Cars should have no problems seeing you in the dark/dusk. Tested from a block away, corner to corner. While the person wearing it wasn't readily visible at this distance, the reflective line easily caught attention. Some cons- If you're a bigger person with more than about a 42 inch waist it may be too tight. I'm right at 42 and it's at the limit of comfort. Fabric pouch doesn't breath well. Coupled with a phone in this heat and you're in for some heavy spot sweating. To keep the pouch from flopping around, you will need to play with positioning to get it right for your comfort. I found for me that it was right hip, about the 5 O'clock position. Your comfort position may vary. Still a good way to exercise and keep your phone secured with you.

I bought after I had a stroke and wanted to have my phone in myself at all times. It’s a little difficult to put phone in and also to clasp around the waist, with one sided weakness.
