Love it - exactly as advertized
This belt is exactly what I was looking for to run with. It seems to be well made with quality materials. I got the silver and it looks exactly as pictured. In the big pocket I put an iPhone 4s in a case, debit card and license, and folded up cash (four bills folded twice). In the small pocket I put chapstick and my car key/key fob. Everything fit nicely and I probably could have fit a couple more things.I wore this around my hips and it was very comfortable. I hardly noticed I had it on. It doesn't move around while walking at a normal pace but did once I started running. But I turned it around to where it lay against my back and it was perfectly fine, no bouncing or shifting at all.I got this to wear while running, but will probably use it for other things as well like outdoor concerts, craft festivals or amusement parks where I don't want to take a purse. It is not bulky at all and you probably couldn't even tell I was wearing it if I had a loose shirt on.This was definitely worth every penny and I'd recommend to others. If I ever need another one (I do have a tendency to lose things) I'll definitely buy this same one again.

missing items
The belt came without the advertised clips to hold on the race numbers. I ordered 2 more to give as gifts and noticed that the clips came with those belts. Also, I am very petite and this made it difficult to adjust the belt small enough for my waist. I am not in the habit of returning items but would like to receive all the advertised parts.

Running belt
I have a small 28" waist and the pictures show the belt fitting across the hips and people happily running along. The belt doesn't stay on your hips, it rides up and then bounces around a little as you run. It doesn't get small enough for a snug fit which I think would decrease the bouncing. The bouncing isn't too bad, but there is bounce.The Gu holders work pretty well, difficult to get the Gu in, but easy to get out. The pockets are great, they expand just enough and are easy to open and close while running. The belt can be worn with the pockets on back or front. Overall the belt is ok, the price was cheap, it does hold my necessities, just not as snug as I need to be completely happy with this product. The silver color is nice.

Great solution, with caveat
I bought the Go Belt Silver for running/working out with my large-screen smartphone. I used to use an arm band with my old phone, but the size of the screen of my Samsung Epic made it uncomfortable to wear on my arm. I was happy that the phone fits in the larger stretchy portion of the Go Belt and I put my ID in the same section. The smaller section works well to keep my keys from scratching my phone screen. I also like that I have loops for gel packs and race numbers too. I can see this coming in handy as an alternative to a money belt for travel too.The only caveat is that the Go Belt appears to be made for those of a petite stature. I haven't measured the limit of the stretchy band, but I wear a US Women's 10 pant and have the belt on the largest setting and it is comfortable and doesn't ride. I also wish that the silver was more reflective, but I solved that by sewing some reflective tape to the whole thing and making reflective wrist cuffs for morning/evening running.

So far so good!
I've been using this almost daily for a week now, and so far it's working out great! Previously i had my phone, a Nexus 4, in an armband and it was driving me crazy. It's just way too bulky a phone to wear on your arm. I also had nowhere to put my house keys.This belt easily and comfortably fits my Nexus 4 in the large pocket and my keychain (with large VW switchblade key) in the small pocket. Once the pouches are zipped I can't even feel that I'm carrying anything. My waist size is 34" and the belt sits right over the elastic of my running shorts, so far the belt hasn't moved at all. I feel like there is plenty of adjustment for a waist size 4-5" larger or smaller than mine. I haven't used the storage loops or the bib holder yet, but next month I'm trying my first 5k and I will update at that time.

clever and good but...
I haven't tried many other running belts and was taken by the creative design and company, however, I have 2 concerns. 1) I'm not the skinniest chick in the world (squeeze into 27 jeans..) but the belt is fairly loose on the tightest setting and even when I sling it down below my pelvis and hip on one side, there is still plenty of give which leads me to 2) it bounces slightly. I know I need an upgraded modern phone (mine is like 1980), but that, a few keys and tissues, chapstick, it is really tight in the pockets and after adjusting their position, it still bounces slightly. But, who cares about a little bounce, the material feels great and I like supporting a cool company. Thanks!

great belt
I really like this belt and use it a lot for long and short runs. I use it during marathons, too, and I really like how it is so stretchy in all directions so you can put anything in it. It is definitely not water-resistant, it will get soaked with sweat pretty fast. I have washed it over and over again and it is still in great working condition. It is comfortable for long, long runs as long as you don't put too much weight into it, then it starts bouncing up & down & feels kind of uncomfortable. Recommend.
