Phone keys case

bikeit65

looking recommendations for a new case that will hold my phone, keys and some spare change, one that will pop into the back pocket of my jacket.

VeloPac RidePac (just Google it). There are loads of different designs and personally I think they’re great VFM at full price but they sometimes do ‘slight seconds’ at silly cheap prices.

I have one of these from Thom at Mamnick

Does the inside pocket have a zip? thanks.

FWIW inside the RidePac there’s a zipped pocket for money and a separate compartment for a phone on either side of the main compartment. It fits my Moto G6 easily.

i just carry a front door key on a bit of paracord around my neck and phone in back pocket with a fiver stuffed in there.

no need for work fob/car keys when i'm on with the fast group on my steed.

the same not possible for you?

I just got one of these and impressed with it. Separate slide pocket for a phone, with a soft microfibre face lining so your phone screen doesn't get scratched. Also got caught in a storm out riding over the weekend and kept contents dry.

Phone in a freezer bag, wrapped in a piece of kitchen roll. Keys (I just carry a single door key - how many keys do you need on a ride?) and change loose in back pocket. No need for a case - that's why you have pockets.

how will a soft case scratch your phone screen in order to necessitate the slide pocket?

No idea, I have a Velopac my phone usually goes in screen facing inward plus it has a screen protector, plus I'd not really paid attention to the soft lining. got caught out in a downpour to over the weekend an had no issues.

FWIW I carry a phone, cash a card lip balm and a key plus the wipe that goes in the little fiddly pocket at the front. all zips up nicely but be aware a lot of larger screened phones will simply be too big.

I use a sandwich bag, don't see the need to spend £30 on a case, what's the point? Except if you just like having one or its for looks at the mid-ride coffee shop, which is fine too.

Ikea ziplock bags are great. Used them for years but got a velopac for Xmas and that's very nice. Will last forever.

The inside pocket has a Velcro fastening.

I use the British Cycling 'ziploc' bag that came free after I completed a Strava challenge that entailed looking at a bicycle more than twice or something. Does the job in terms of keeping my phone dry, and I can use the screen through the bag. However I do like the look of the RidePac and have mentioned it to the elves as a possible what-do-you-get-the-guy-who-has-everything gift. I ride with a phone, small card wallet and garage door opener but on a sportive there's also the need to safely stash a bulky car key. At the moment these items get scattered around whatever pockets I am wearing but a neat little wallet for it all looks appealing.

Ikea ziplock bag if it’s wet, if not, no need for a bag. Might put my keys and lose change in zip pocket. Rapha jerseys are good for that.

Update: i bought the Velopac case which arrived earlier and am impressed with it, thanks guys for all your advise.
