SakrootsLarge Coated Canvas Smartphone Crossbody Bag

Very Nice Solution to Women's Lack of Pockets! Gift, But Wife Had Me Return It!Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2021Size: One SizeColor: Rainbow WanderlustMy wife copycatted my purchase of a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus. It's among the largest smartphones made. I have reserved my left front trouser pocket for mine, where it happily fits. Females, though, seem to avoid garments with such conveniences. Part of the eternal mystery for men...As we are both getting older, I, a Senior Technonerd, have become interested in the features of such phones that help make older folks safer, particularly by providing emergency communications, and built-in fall detection with custom SOS-message capability. Our matching Galaxy Active 2 watches have a 3-axis accelerometer and GPS in it! Since we both wear Bluetooth hearing aids and Smartwatches , we can make and answer calls without digging the phone out of a pocket (pretty tough if you're sitting on it), or if you have to take it out of a handbag while you're driving (OK, yes , our car does have a Bluetooth-connected speaker). BUT YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR PHONE NEAR YOU ALL THE TIME!Our waterproof Galaxy smartwatches can detect falls and let us make and answer calls even in the shower, IF THE PHONE IS WITHIN 20 FEET. Also, I often use the phone call my wife if she's on a different floor of our house. She, being more traditional, usually uses the high blood-pressure Jane-to-Tarzan method.It has an outside padded pocket with a secure metal-snap strap that easily holds a Note 10+ in a flexible edge-protector rubber case without a lid. There's some room left to use a rigid phone case or larger phone, but you'll have to check it for yourself. The rest of the bag is a very roomy wallet with credit-card pockets, a zipper pocket and room for more cash and checks than I've ever had to carry. It doesn't have room for a lot of cosmetics, so it's not an adequate replacement for a lady's pocketbook. But it's small enough to possibly fit inside a traditional lady's treasure satchel.My only negative comment: the phone pouch strap takes more force to close against the glass phone panel than I'm comfortable with, though I did it several times on my phone with no real trouble, and it may loosen a bit with use. But I'd feel more comfortable with a Velcro-like "Hook & Loop" closure.My wife wasn't pleased with the basic crossbody design. I recommended she wear it for a day or two, but I suspect she just felt over-advised. Do you‽I give it 5 stars anyway. I personally would use this bag if I had no pockets. This version is very attractive, but I might choose a bit more reserved pattern for work.

It’s the perfect size for me and I get lots of compliments on it.

Gave as a Xmas gift. She loved it and it's very versatile. Still looks new.

I thought I'd be able to put 2 cards side by side in each of the slots, but they are sewn on each side, so only 1 card fits in each slot down the middle, for a total of 8 card slots, 4 on each side of the purse. zippered change pocket in the middle. Full length slot at the top on both sides, so you could put money on either side. I also have those frequent purchase cards, insurance cards, other credit cards, just in the space on either side of the change pocket. But all that, that tends to just be in the middle, makes it a little hard to zip it closed. I could just carry less junk, or less change. The phone pocket on the outside comes packed with a piece of foam in it which seems to stretch it out a bit. So the phone pocket is plenty big enough for my S7 edge with a case. Since I usually keep my phone in my pocket anyway and it was too hard to zip with a lipstick and pen in the purse, I put them in the phone pocket. Maybe I'm trying to cram too much into a wallet purse, but I'm trying to use it as my only purse. I love having a cross body that leaves my hands free and I don't have to worry about the purse falling off my shoulder. I leave it on to open and take out my money or cards to pay. Oh, the strap was not quite long enough for me even fully extended, so I snapped the wrist strap on one side, then clipped the end of the shoulder strap to that, made it the perfect length!

Wish I could give this 5 stars, but I can't. The first one I got was love. The front didn't look exactly like the picture, but instead had a slightly different pattern with this really cool elephant. But the one clasp on the crossbody strap was broken so I ordered another one and planned on just switching out the straps. The day before the new one came I found that the first one had a place where the lining in the front pocket was separating from the outside.The replacement came today and had a lot more packaging leading me to believe that the first one I received was a return. No issues with the replacement, but it doesn't have the pretty elephant and instead looks just like the picture, which I'm disappointed about, but I don't want to keep the broken one.Other than these issues, it is exactly what I'm looking for. I love the coated canvas because it will be easy to wipe clean. It has lots of card slots and room for my phone and a few pads and tampons or small make-up items. I was looking for something easy to carry, easy to clean, that would fit in my diaper bag nicely, and cute and this definitely meets all those expectations.

I needed a compact bag big enough to hold my Pixel 8 pro, cards, and glasses, and small enough to fit in my personal item carry-on bag. This one is the perfect size, holds everything securely, and it's so pretty!

Great size. Many pockets. Love that I can put my phone in it.

Get lots of compliments! It’s beautiful and so versatile!!
