IPhone 7 plus in case: sleeve/pouch ideas
- Thread starter Volcano22
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
Bellroy has discontinued the elements collection and replaced them with the all conditions range.
From what I can find:
- phone pocket plus was the same as the elements phone pocket plus range except the latter has a water resistant zip
- the compartments inside the all conditions range are much more restrictive than the elements range. No separate slots for cards like the elements used to have.
So I'm torn. Want the phone pocket plus because of the card slots and burnt orange colour but also want the water resistant zip of the old elements range....
Have a wallet from them and love the quality!
I have this one. I'm still waiting on my 7+.

I completely agree with you. I like all the card slots and compartments on the phone pocket plus but I'd much prefer the all conditions leather and the plastic zipper. I just don't like any form of metal getting anywhere near my iPhone.
I found elements pocket plus still selling at this website http://www.hominginstincts.com.au/products/bellroy-wallet-elements-phone-pocket-plus
Bought a black!
Finally got the Bellroy one from amazon. Decided against leather went with canvas as it's a bit more sporty looking. I love it. I like the microfibre lining and plastic zip. Fits the 7 plus with silicone case. Would probably fit a slightly bigger case too. Very pleased with it.

Looks great! I love bellroy products!
Do you mind taking a pic or two of the compartment inside? I think there aren't any card slots?
There are 2 largish slots that you can fit a couple of cards and notes in. Not as many compartments as the other Bellroy pockets but enough for me. Sorry for the poor quality pics, hard to hold and snap (still getting used to the larger plus phone)

Looks great man! Can't wait for mine to come!
I started using the plus version last year and now I can't go back to the normal size screen. They seem so small now haha
Just received it yesterday and I'm loving it! Very good quality and heaps of slots for cards and notes.
Tight fit for apple leather case but anything slimmer or naked phone will fit just fine. Perfect for cyclists or those of us who want to minimise smart phone addiction and just take the phone out when we're stationary on a bus or train.
FitBAG have a range of (fabric and leather) sleeves designed to fit the iPhone 7 Plus & iPhone 7 with an Apple case. Got it via Amazon. They are reasonably priced and very well made. I've had one for 2 yrs which is still perfect and I intend to use it for my 7 Plus.
Anyone found a pouch/bag that fits an iPhone 7 plus with Apple silicone case on?
Just sometimes I want to protect the iPhone from dust in the pocket when go on site.
Ordered a pouch, but it's too tight to get in/out with the case on.
The bellroy looks great but is more than want to pay (I'm on UK). That type would be perfect though.
At moment I'm using a very then sunglasse pouch, it's not ideal but covers iPhone.
Ideally wanting a zip or a pouch that doesn't have an open top either. Had an older one for my 5 that was neoprene with a Velcro over top. Was good as had a bit protection for bumps and covered all iPhone. Something like this?
I normally look on Amazon but as long as can order as I'm in UK be idea.
Thanks

I have the Bellroy with the silicone case and it's perfect but yes expensive. I ordered a pouch from Etsy while waiting for the Bellroy which was about £10 (just searched for iPhone pouch or sleeve lots of padded ones) but hasn't arrived yet so can't really comment on how good. But the Bellroy is excellent fits money cards and phone.

For the 6 I had, I ordered a pouch from Crumpler which fitted the phone and apple silicone case, no idea if they do them for the plus yet?
Thanks. It does look good but too expensive. I won't use it all the time, and it'll get dirty and roughed up a bit due to environment it'll be in. Only want a basic pouch with either velcro cover or zip that would fit with Apple silicone case on, ant find anything yet....
Which etsy pouch? From where? Does it state fit with silicone case on?
I ordered this one http://etsy.me/2dLcnh6 https://www.etsy.com
Supposed to fit phone in silicone case.
They are about the same size, although the Bellroy is slightly slimmer. The Bellroy lays flatter. The Bellroy fits a slim cased iPhone while the SF Bags Finn Wallet can hold the phone in a slightly bulky case.
I personally like the organization of the Bellroy over the Finn Wallet. Though I ended up with the HardGraft Zip Wallet. I really like the separate pocket for just the phone.
I really like it. But to each his/her own. My wife thinks it looks cheap. It is a lightweight leather wallet. The leather is very soft and nice. The wallet has the three card slots, a pocket for just the phone and a separate little zip pocket. The iPhone pocket is lined in black leather, while the smaller pocket is lined in gray micro fiber. I carry one card in each outer slot (I don't want to stretch them out) and in the smaller pouch I have two more cards and some folded US currency. Without the phone inside, it feels really slim. I mainly use it alone, and only put the phone inside when I am at the gym or with certain pants. The phone fits great if it has a thin case, like the Apple leather case. I also have a slightly thicker case, the Vaja Grip, and it does fit in fine. You just have to make sure when unzipping, the phone isn't pushed towards the zipper side. So I just hold it up in portrait orientation and make sure the phone isn't tight against the upper part. Like I say, with the Apple leather case, thats no concern. I like the long tassel on the main zipper. The best part of it is IMO the separate pocket for just the phone. I can get to my cash or cards without exposing the phone.
Thanks. Think that's what I like about it being able to get to cards/cash without exposing the phone - something the Bellroy doesn't offer.
