PRICE 12,500 GP AURA faint transmutation CL 5th WEIGHT 1 lb.
A security belt increases the DC of Sleight of Hand checks made against the wearer and checks to locate items or weapons hidden on the wearer’s person by 5. The wearer also gets a +5 bonus to CMD against the steal maneuver. Once per day on command, the wearer can touch a single item of up to 10 cubic feet and shrink it into a tiny cloth duplicate as the shrink item spell. With a move action, the wearer can draw one of these
items from one of the belt’s pockets and return it to normal size.
It is difficult to detect a security belt and any items in the pockets
as magic. They are affected as though a constant magic aura
spell were making them appear nonmagical.

This item says it has pockets (plural form) but doesn't state how many. I had a thought that CL5 (minimum to create)has 2 pockets and with every 5 levels above CL5 the creator has, an additional pocket is created to a maximum of 5 at 20th level. Additionally, creators of CL10,15,and 20 could give up a pocket to give the belt an additional daily use of its shrink item ability.
Security belts if inspired by our security belts have a lot of pockets, more than 5 and lower than 10 in general. You could limit the numbers of pockets but frankly when a handy haversack only cost 2000 gp and grants so much utility, this would be doing this item quite a disservice.

Good points all. Just wanted to see if anyone had a definite number of pockets so I could figure what to put in them.
I am playing a Xeph Magus Kensai/bladebound,. I was thinking about putting my spellbooks in these pockets. Keeps my spellbooks safe, dry and I don't have to worry about weight. Then, if for some reason I am denied my gear (arrested, taken prisoner) I would still have my spellbooks. That is if they don't take my belt.
