I bought this fanny pack for my mother, after she suffered significant shoulder pain from injuring her rotator cuff.  She was unable to use a shoulder purse so this fanny pack was ideal.  It came in a variety of colors, instead of only black.  She received it promptly, and reported no problems with packaging or its condition on arrival.  The fanny pack had enough room for your necessities.  I recommend this item for anyone who cannot carry a purse on their shoulder.
