Don’t you hate it when you’re about to go out and you realize you don’t have a pocket for your cellphone? You may have room for it in your purse, but there are times when you’re running around and a purse isn’t convenient.
When I took my son to the Maker Faire in New York, I didn’t want to carry a purse. The chance of leaving it at one of the exhibits or classes we attended was too great and honestly, I didn’t want to lug my purse along. I knew I would be toting around a lot of our handmade projects already.
MyPhonePouch
Right before I left for New York, Allison Santini, the inventor and founder of MyPhonePouch, sent me a MyPhonePouch to try. It’s quite clever. MyPhonePouch a patent-pending cellphone holder that gives you extra pockets and works with almost any pants, leggings, sweats, shorts, jeans, skirts you wear.
MyPhonePouch is a soft, stretchy pouch comprised of multiple pockets to carry your cellphone, credit cards, driver’s license, hotel key, subway cards, and more.
Simply by tucking the back half of the MyPhonePouch in your waistband and placing your cellphone in one of its front pockets.
The back half consists of 3 pockets, 2 of which are snappable, and a counter-weight that balances out the weight of your cellphone in one three front pouches.
The pouch fits nicely in my waistband with no discomfort and I can reach my cellphone easily at any time. No more leaving it on the table during lunch or worrying whether someone will pickpocket my cellphone from my back pocket.
Benefits:
- No matter which day or outfit, I can easily find my phone in MyPhonePouch. No more searching for it in my purse, pocket, or somewhere on a table
- No more stuffing your cellphone in your waistband or bra
- Carries your phone and other essentials like a driver’s license, credit cards, subway cards, gym pass, cash, lipstick, reading glasses, etc.
- Track your phone-based steps more accurately
- No more sitting on your phone
- No more “butt” dialing!
- Dramatically reduces the chances of your phone being pickpocketed
- Frees up your hands so you can carry other things or hold hands with your spouse or child
- Can carry other small items like small medical devices/supplies, insulin pumps, and more
The MyPhonePouch was designed by a woman with women in mind. Most of today’s phone holsters are bulky, black, and designed for ease of use for men. MyPhonePouch does not need a belt to attach securely on your waistband, although it does need a sturdy waistband.
It’s made with a stretchy yoga pant type material – so the MyPhonePouch is sturdy yet flexible. You do not feel the 4.25-ounce stainless steel counter-balance directly and it can be removed to easily clean your MyPhonePouch in the washing machine.
I like that it has two snapped pockets. I use them to carry my driver’s license and cash, for extra insurance that they do not fall out.
The MyPhonePouch comes in a variety of sizes:
SMALL – Fits the iPhone 5 and similarly sized small phones with a case
SMALL SLIM – Just a bit narrower, fits the iPhone 5, flip phones and similarly sized small phones with no case
MEDIUM – Fits the iPhone 6, 7, 8, X, Pixel 2, Galaxy 7, 8 and other similarly sized phones with a smooth, slim case. If you have an iPhone X or plus-sized phone without a case, the Medium size provides a snug fit
MEDIUM SLIM – Just a smidge narrower, fits the iPhone 6, 7, 8, Pixel 2, Galaxy 7, 8 and other similarly sized phones with no case
LARGE – Fits the iPhone Plus series phones (including the new XsMax), larger Samsung phones, and other similarly sized plus-size phones with a smooth, slim case. Also works for smaller phones with a thicker, bulkier case
LARGE-SLIM – Just smidge narrower than size Large, this size is for iPhone X with a thicker case and other larger phones that have an ultra slim case.
LARGE WIDE – Just a smidge wider than size Large, it is the largest size and fits the larger plus series phones that have smooth cases that aren’t exactly slim
As I have a Samsung Note 8, I tried the Large size. I do have a rubberized case on my Note 8, so I do have a little trouble at times getting it in or out of the pouch. If it had no case, it would have slid out like a champ.
I loved the freedom the MyPhonePouch gives me. It carries my phone, credit card, cash, driver’s license, and lipstick without touting around a purse. It’s great for picking up the kids from school, going on the kid’s field trips, or funning errands.
I can’t wait to use it at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in January to carry these things as well as my business cards. It’s always been a pain during CES to hand out business cards, take pictures, and put product brochures in my bags, the MyPhonePouch will help with this. I will also put a pen in the MyPhonePouch so I can make notes as needed.
The MyPhonePouch gives you a consistent pocket (in fact 6 of them!) to carry your phone and keep it safe. Whether used for everyday use, conferences, or travel, the MyPhonePouch is a convenient way to keep things important to you close at hand.
The MyPhonePouch is available in a variety of sizes and colors for $35 directly from their website with a 30-day guarantee and free shipping.
