What a bummer! I've had to walk away from quite a few bags that I adored because my phone didn't fit. I don't understand why designers even bother making bags that don't fit phones anymore. I don't know anyone who leaves the house without their phone.
Oh no, so sorry! The phones are getting bigger and the bag designers should take note of that. As Colette said, nobody goes anywhere without their phones.
HAH. Personally, La Pedestrienne, I LOOOOOOVE my big phone. I have never been as excited about an item of tech in my life. The iPhone 6 Plus CHANGED my tech life.
Alexandra, you're sweet. Thanks.
Tanya and Colette, you are bang on the money. Designers need to get with the changing tech times.
Oh, I am so sorry the bag will not work for you. I absolutely understand. I have a Galaxy Note 4 (the good ones before they started fires!) and I ADORE my large phone. I had never been excited about a phone until the Note, and I will NOT trade it for anything smaller!
Oh no! I have the same ginormous phone. I like it a lot. It's like a super mini ipad. Coach has a similar bag, although it is kind of expensive. It has a built in coin purse!
Disappointing! I love small bags, especially for evenings out; now that I have the larger iPhone (per your endorsement for even those of us with small fingers- love it- thanks), there is more of a need to test drive these pets with our few essentials. Here's to finding the one that works and brings joy, Angie.
Designers need to design for real life. I am not a fan of big phones but clearly many people are. I am sorry that the bag did not work out for you Angie. Next.
I agree that designers need to consider our technology. I have an IPad that I carry everywhere I go. Although I have purses in many different sizes, I only use those that accommodate the IPad. Now I only buy bags of a certain size. Their loss.
I'm in the small-phone camp--I recently bought an iPhone SE after holding out for 3 years with an iPhone 5--but I wouldn't mind bags being slightly larger, either.
For me the phone size was a dealbreaker because I frequently use my phone with one hand and I have small hands/short fingers. I could barely even cradle larger phones in one hand, much less use my fingers on the screen.
I'm sorry to hear that! But a bag that can't hold phone or wallet is useless. I'm another one in the small phone camp though. When I got a new phone this year the one I picked was one of the smallest smartphones available. I still feel it's almost too big. It definitely shouldn't be bigger.
Dang. That really is a deal breaker. What Astrid said.
I think there's a Goldilocks sweet spot with these kinds of bags. My ideal bag (the one I carry ever day) looks quite small but loads to the gunnels with everything I need and no more. I thought this one might have the same dimensions, but clearly not.
