Review on πŸ‘œ Optimized Baggallini Classic Touch Screen Crossbody Handbags, Wallets, and Bags for Women by Kelly Starr

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Perfect size for my needs but the phone pocket needs an update

I love Baggallini bags. I have several of these and they are always among my favorites. This was ok, but I was missing something. Size is a must for me. I want to carry around a small handbag that fits everything I need and small enough to put in a large bag if I have to take the kids with me. Also a bonus is that this bag fits my son's adrenaline auto-injectors which we carry with us wherever we go. In terms of size, this bag fits perfectly. I like that it has metal loops to attach the strap. I carry my keys on a carabiner so I want them to be easy to clip to my purse. Check. The front pockets are fine. I usually carry hand sanitizer and maybe wipes and a baby snack for emergencies. The large of the two front pockets is *not* large enough to easily fit my small bottle of hand sanitizer, which I find a little embarrassing. My previous small bag was generally smaller than this one, but it probably had a slightly taller front pocket. I like that it has an integrated card holder. Especially now that I feel like I have to carry around my Covid Vaxx card which is way too big for the small wallet I used to have. The phone pocket on the outside was the part I was most looking forward to. And that's the part where I'm most disappointed. This is simply wrong in many ways. First, nothing is holding the phone. It can - and will - literally slip out. The bottom of the case has an opening for thumb access on some devices. But I highly doubt it's aligned properly if you have anything in your wallet. Mine is pretty full and you can see what happens to the plastic on the front of the phone pocket when my phone is in it. Especially for my device this is all really inconvenient as my phone's power button is on one side. I love that you can operate your phone's touchscreen through the plastic cover and that my Samsung Galaxy S10e with case and PopSocket fits in my phone case. So it's not all bad. So thumbs up for size and lots of detail. A thumbs down for most aspects of a phone case.
