I don't recommend this one

This mat is just ok. It holds my mat (lululemon 5mm reversible, 5lb) just fine, and it is pretty cute--particularly the inside fabric, but the straps are very coarse and uncomfortable and leave marks on my shoulder (see photo). Some threads are loose on the handle (see photo) and as others have mentioned, the magnetic snaps are not very strong. The pocket is not big enough for my phone, but my phone is huge (6 plus with wallet case). I can fit my keys and sunglasses in there, and some small items like a tampon or chapstick.

Great for standard mats, tight on for thicker mats

I bought this carrier for use with my standard 24" x 66" x 1/8" mat, and it worked great with that mat. I've since switched to a 26" x 72" x 1/4" mat, and the fit is a bit tight. The carrier still works, but unless I roll my mat up tightly, the magnetic closures aren't secure. I'm not too concerned though because the velcro strap still holds the mat securely. The little pocket on the front is a nice touch. I wear cycling gloves during my practice for extra hand cushioning, and the pocket allows me to keep them with my mat so I don't forget them.

My only real complaint with the carrier is the straps, They're a bit thin, and it'd be nice if they were a little thicker for comfort. Another improvement would be putting a pocket on each side for extra utility. But overall, I'm very happy with this carrier.

Picture is with my 26" x 72" x 1/4" mat.

Quick-release magnetic snaps keep snapping off.

While it may look fashionably cool, the "quick-release magnetic snaps" are not strong. If you lift it using only one strap, the magnets unlock and the whole thing opens up. I have to keep reminding myself to use both straps. I've been using this mat carrier almost everyday and seems a lot more work to hold than it should.

The sides will not be able to recah each other if you have Jade Fusion 74-Inch x 5/16-Inch Yoga Mat, evene if you roll it tight. The carrier is designed for a 3/16 " thick mat 68 inches long

Color: Sparkling GrapeVerified Purchase

First; the color, grape, is great. Next the pocket is roomy & holds eye patch for meditation time, car keys gym mbrship card & several hair ties easily. That is about all that is good about this carrier. The straps are skimpy too narrow for comfort. The snaps do not hold, they pop open immediately, one even broke thru the material now I have a hole where it is supposed to snap. fortunately the inner velcro strap holds but allows the mat to slip a bit causing it to slip forward. So far it hasn't fallen out. It cannot comfortably be held on the shoulder, the straps are too narrow. All in all what could have been a great mat carrier is a very bad one. Too bad I didn't get around to returning it to Amazon in time now I am stuck with it and not happy with it.

I think even a mat that's a little thicker would be fine. My only complaint is the pocket

I have this mat: Aurorae Classic Yoga Mat - 1/4" Thick, 72" Long. This is the thickest mat I could find at a reasonable price, but of course it doesn't fit in most standard mat bags.
It fits in this. I think even a mat that's a little thicker would be fine.
My only complaint is the pocket. You really can't put anything much in there. Mine holds tissues and either my phone or my keys (won't fit both at the same time).
Since I am plus-sized, I also wish the strap was a little longer, but that won't be a problem for the average person.
All in all, this is a nice carrier and I'm not sorry I purchased it.

Quick Velcro and Pocket Carrier

The most understated feature is the velcro clasp at the top of carrier. This quick use velcro is great for pulling the mat out before class. Also, the pocket is a perfect size for cards and phones. Unfortunately, it isn't large enough to fit a woman's wallet but all you really need is a phone and your keys most of the time. Lastly, the straps are a very natural length, similar to a purse's length, which makes it very easy/comfortable to carry. The Gaiam brand is well known for outstanding quality for yoga products and this product doesn't disappoint.
