After I could not find the perfect crossbody case, I decided to make my own and it is way better than anything I could find.

I first bought the Bandolier, while I loved it and it would have been the perfect case, except that it did not cover the entire phone and I cracked my Belkin screen protector twice in the exact same place in the week I had the case (see photo below).

Then I bought a Sena case. I did not like how thick the back was. I could not charge it wirelessly without opening the card flap (see photo below)

I also bought a cheap one on Amazon but my phone was so loose in it I was afraid my phone was going to fall out. I returned all 3 cases.

So while laying in bed trying to fall asleep. Which is when I get all my best ideas. I decided to try using ribbon to make little loops to attach a strap to. I zig-zagged ribbon from the top to the bottom of the case leaving a little hanging out on the bottom. I then put my phone in the case leaving the ribbon between the case and the phone. See the photos below. Please ignore all the pet hair on my phone screen. I just noticed it as I was uploading the photos :)

never heard of a "crossbody" case, but opening this thread taught me that i wouldnt be caught dead wearing a phone across my body like a purse, but to each their own.
