Flight Sling 1L or Pouch Pro

If u had to pick one lol
Well, the Flight Sling 1L comes in X-Pac with the orange interior, I'm a sucker for X-Pac.
If you are going to use it for your phone, I would say the Flight Sling 1L is perfect for the 17 Pro, the PM in a case is a little tight in the back area but works fine. They are both good but you can get more stuff in the Flight Sling. The Flight Pouch Pro fits the Pro Max better but has less overall space.

Here is my 16PM in the Flight Pouch Pro:
Plenty of room, I can't find my other pictures.

Under my thumb it has a nice soft lined pocket that is perfect for phones.

How is the arc pulse for the air it looks kind of thick compared to pitaka or latercase
It’s much thicker, but you don’t feel it because your fingers grasp the bare phone on the side, and your pinky rests on the bare phone on the bottom. In other words, for me at least, it feels almost exactly like a bare phone. It also feels more secure than a bare phone when pulling it out of a pocket due to the raised corners that prevent it from slipping through your hand.

It’s a different experience than using cases like the Pitaka. The Arc provides more access to the bare phone, while being bulkier on the corners, whereas the Pitaka is thinner overall, but you lose the direct touch of the glass and metal, which IMO feels so much nicer than TPU, poly, silicone, or even aramid fiber.

Thanks Bud.

Ive ordered Flight Sling from Amazon to have a look.

I use their zip and zip cardholder x pac pouches to keep my cards safe on my travels.

That Flight Pouch Pro looks so clean though.

Will it fit 17 Pro, Magsafe Battery and 3 Passports?

Yes, the Flight Pouch Pro will fit the Pro easily, Magsafe battery ETC. A passport fits perfect in the back outside pocket, not sure if 3 will fit in the back pocket, you can always get them on the inside.
 
Initial impressions good. Fits and feels solid in hand. Rather light oddly. I don’t like camera button but I’d be fine without it entirely lol. So far this is a top 5-6.

I have the Flight Sling and I agree, it’s a great bag. My favorite for just a phone, fob, and a few credit cards though, is the Waterfield CitySlicker Pouch because of the super quick access it gives you to the phone.

 
@Zensō @kecinzer and everyone who goes caseless or similar like arc pulse, do you use magsafe stands or chargers? have your phones scratched from the magsafe connection? i bought apple’s air bumper and returned it and then saw amazon had it for $10 off so i bought it. first day but i like it so far. just wondering if i’ll develop scratches by using a magsafe charger stand. it’s a hard plastic feeling magsafe ring.

This is the charger I’ve been using for the past couple of years. It has never left a mark on my phones. The surface of the MagSafe puck is a relatively soft material, almost like silicone. I think the fact that the phone lays flat is also a factor; in my experience, phones tend to shift and slip on vertical chargers, which I believe increases the possibility of scratching.

 
you won’t be able to use that battery anymore with the arc pulse. that’s why i think twice about it because i use the battery pack often.
I know, but I can use it without bottom part I think. I don’t use battery pack often.
