I love the Nathan QuickDraw Plus. I used to carry the simple QuickShot, but never had enough room to carry my ID, keyfob, money, etc. The pocket for these "older" style QuickDraws is large enough to hold your ID, debit card, keyfob, 6 $1 bills rolled up, and even a latest-generation iPod nano. It is amazingly convenient. The only drawback is that the pocket won''t hold a Smartphone; at the time the initial designs of the QuickDraw came out, the popular phones on the market were flip-phones along the lines of the old Motorola Razr. The old designs of the QuickDraw could fit one of those, if you were willing to forgo the keyfob. (Positive news: If you look at Nathan''s website, you''ll see they have modified the QuickDraw Plus in 2012, now featuring a larger and more square pocket that looks more suitable to today''s smartphones. That must mean we''re about to see another major change in the size of popular phones, ha!) :) I''m not the biggest fan of the water bottles from Nathan; it''s sufficient initially, but over time not up to par with the quality of a Camelbak or other bottle. The good news is that your outer pocket+strap will actually be reasonably compatible with a 20-oz Camelbak biker''s bottle. After 2+ years my Nathan bottle no longer fully closes; I now just use a Camelbak inside my Nathan pocket.
I bought this item to hold my phone, keys and ID when I go to the gym. Unfortunately, I received my bottle yesterday and am very unhappy with it. The bottle is very cheaply made, equivalent to something you would buy at the "dollar store". Also, the zippered pocket on the cover is too small to hold my iPhone in it''s Otterbox Case, and there''s no way a phone and keys would both fit in it, even if you had a small phone. I''ve already paid a lot to have it shipped to me, and I don''t want to waster more money to pay shipping again to return it, so I''m not sure what I''ll do with it. Definitely not useful for going to the gym.
