There are those who insist on using their smartphones as is, whilst others will ensure they have a back casing to keep it ‘safe’. And then there are those who will get a ‘bag’ especially for it, and judging by the different styles out there, the demand is real.

Today’s feature covers all the noteworthy options in the market currently, with an elongated silhouette designed for brands like Apple. Some are crafted from coated-canvas, while others come in full leather, so the choice is really yours when it comes to what you like and of course, the budget you have in mind. What’s more, there’s even space for a couple of cards and cash, making them practical mini bags that are great for the grab-and-go.

01 – The Phone Pouch With Flap (SGD770) is one of the newer styles available at Celine today, fashioned with a mix of Triomphe Canvas and black lambskin with a 52 cm drop length leather strap. The pouch measures just 18 cm high and 10 cm wide, and you will find two extra slots tucked on the inside for your all important credit cards and IDs.

02 – It’s not very often that you find a Chanel SLG coming in glittery metallic grained calfskin leather, so you might want to keep your eyes peeled for this Phone Holder With Chain (SGD3370) when it officially launches for Fall-Winter 2021. Finished with all the iconic elements like the CC logo clasp and leather-interlaced chain strap, this handy number is definitely huge on style.

03 – Then there’s Dior’s Lady Dior Phone Holder (SGD1450) which has been around for a while. This new-in edition, however, comes in gunmetal hardware, crafted in black Cannage lambskin leather for a beautiful tone-on-tone effect. The two-way zip closure opens to reveal 3 card slots, and both straps (the top handle and chain) can also be removed so you can also use it as a zipped phone pouch/mini wallet in your larger bags if you so choose.

04 – Louis Vuitton’s Vertical Zippy Wallet Métis (SGD1990) comes in the eye-catching combination of Monogram Canvas and Monogram Reverse coated-canvas, with 2 different compartments to keep your items neat and organised. The front pocket is designed for smaller devices like the #iPhone13, while the zipped pocket is essentially a large wallet with 2 gusseted compartments and 8 card slots.

05 – Lastly, the Phone Pouch With Strap (SGD680) from Saint Laurent is perfect for those who love a boxy silhouette, and the small ‘Saint Laurent Paris’ logo embossed on the magnetic front flap is nice discreet touch. Even the crocodile-embossed leather adds a tactile appeal that keeps it from being boring, making it a great companion when slung by your side at all times.
