I sometimes carry it in a stretchy lycra waist strap thing that I bought at Big W some years ago, looks like this:
My latest Morvelo thermal jersey has a large enough zip pocket for one as well.

I have found the same thing - very handy.brandy234 wrote:Apple Watch 3 with "cellular" has solved all my "where do I put a phone" problems...
Also, how about a Quadlock mount? (just having it on the bars or top tube, rather than in a bag - comes with a waterproof cover). I used to find this useful as my saddlebag only had enough space for spare tube, levers and tool.

Thanks for the recommendation baa baa, I have had a couple of nice Revelate top tube bags but each had some feature (too wide / too small / difficult to open zipper...) that annoyed me when riding so with the GST free window closing I ordered one of these Tinder Boxes (in a lovely Olive) and it arrived today, rushed it down to bike shed to introduce it to the bike. Looks very handsome and seems very functional, my large iphone 7+ fits well into the internal pocket with lots of room for other bits and pieces. The accompanying note from Cactus thanked me (!) for being "awesome" and selecting their product so let me thank you for the awesome recommendation.baabaa wrote:I picked up one of these in duck canvas as getting any sort of new phone is a nightmare
