Comments about Runner's World Run Lite Pack:
I got this pouch to hold my phone while doing Zombies Run 5k Training. It barely holds my phone (an old Tmobile G2 which is rather thick) but other than that the size is ok and I like the little pockets for keys. A couple runs ago the zipper started to fray on the end and today when I opened it the zipper ripped right off. It's only lasted about 22 runs and I'm not even done with my training.

Comments about Runner's World Run Lite Pack:
Wanted to like this product due to its design and compact size. Liked the two side zipper pockets, head phone port, and interior divided compartments. However, after several months of usage, the inner lining ripped and then the main zipper end ripped. Also, it started to bounce a lot during my runs and the elastic band didn't retain its strength.
I've never returned any REI purchased product until this one.

Comments about Runner's World Run Lite Pack:
I purchased this for a running wallet, while out for long distances; for times when I may want, ID, credit card, cash, phone/MP3... I am very disappointed. Problems: a) there are sewn in slots that are supposed to hold ID or credit cards, but they are too small, they don't hold standard size cards, b) an iPhone and standard iPod are a very tight fit, and the headphone port is poorly placed, c) the small zipper side pockets are too small for gels and most modern car keys (a house key would fit, but not much use when you drove to your favorite trail or running area), d) seems to conduct sweat very easily to inside of pocket. This product is so bad, I am considering taking REI up on their liberal return policy for the first time.

Comments about Runner's World Run Lite Pack:
The pack was great and lasted for around 2 months. I kept my phone, keys, and some money/cc in there on runs and bike rides. I ran at least 100 miles and biked at least 400 miles with this and finally on my last bike ride, when I tried to open the main pocket, the zipper came off and part of the cloth was torn. Aside from the flimsy design of the product, I'd also like to add that the pack isn't water proof. I kept caffeine and aspirin pills in some of the smaller pouches in the main pocket and it managed to get wet and ruin it.

Got this to store my phone and keys while running, I made sure that both would fit before buying.
First 2 runs were great, very comfortable no bouncing. Then third run I put my keys in the side pocket an out the bottom they came ... upon inspection there was about a millimeter of fabric past the bottom stitch not nearly enough to hold.
Took it back figuring it was a defect but the other 2 in the store have the same problem ... back to running with my phone in my hand :<

I bought this to carry BlackBerry, keys, and a few doggie bags, but it is too small. The amount it can hold could easily fit in a pocket, so why bother with a belt.

Comments about Runner's World Run Lite Pack:
Got this to use with my iPhone and MapMyFitness/RunTracker apps because I found the iPhone (3G) to be a bit too heavy on the upper arm (bounces and slides down). Unfortunately, it barely fits an iPhone with headphone jack attached. Had to remove the phone case and jam the phone in there often resulting in inadvertent screen touches. Plus, I find hiding the iPhone low on my back, and with the phone in the horizontal position, is not a good GPS reception config. Better signal reception on the upper arm with the phone vertical.
This belt would work fine for an iPod Nano (any gen) or Shuffle with Nike+ but it's to small for an iPhone in my opinion. Also, the elastic belt straps are narrow and do not look easily replaceable; when they go, the unit is done.
