Review on Sakroots Artist Circle Large Smartphone Women's Handbags & Wallets for Crossbody Bags by John Faxon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A very nice solution to the problem of missing pockets in women! A gift but my wife forced me to return it!

A very good solution to the problem that women don't have pockets! A gift but my wife forced me to return it! Viewed in the US on September 4, 2021 Size: One sizeColor: Rainbow WanderlustMy wife copied my Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus purchase. This is one of the greatest smartphones. I reserved the front left pocket for myself, it fits in there. However, women seem to shy away from clothing with such amenities. Part of the eternal mystery for men. As we both got older, as a lead technologist, I became interested in the capabilities of such phones that help keep older people safer, particularly by providing emergency communications and built-in fall detection with the ability to send custom SOS messages. Our matching Galaxy Active 2 watch is equipped with a 3-axis accelerometer and GPS! Since we both wear Bluetooth hearing aids and smartwatches, we can make and receive calls without taking our phone out of our pocket (quite difficult when you're sitting on it) or when you need to take it out of your purse while you're at work. Driving (okay, yes, our car has a Bluetooth-connected speaker). BUT THE PHONE MUST ALWAYS BE NEAR YOU! Our waterproof Galaxy Smartwatch can detect falls and allows us to make and receive calls even in the shower WHEN THE PHONE IS 6 FEET AWAY. I also often call my wife when she is on another floor of our house. She is more traditional and usually uses the Jane Tarzan method for high blood pressure. It has a padded outer pocket with a secure metal button strap that easily holds the Note 10+ in a flexible, edge-protected, coverless rubber sleeve. There's still room for a hard phone case or a larger phone, but you'll have to check that out for yourself. The rest of the bag is a very roomy wallet with credit card slots, a zip pocket and space for more cash and checks than I've ever needed to carry around. It doesn't offer much space for cosmetics, so it's not an adequate replacement for a woman's purse. But it's small enough to fit in a traditional women's treasure bag. My only negative comment is that the phone case strap takes more force to close the phone's glass panel than I find comfortable, although I've done this a few times on my phone with no major problems and it can come loose a little with Use. But I would be more comfortable with a velcro strap. My wife didn't like the basic over the shoulder design. I recommended that she wear it for a day or two, but I suspect she just felt like she was giving too much advice. I still give you 5 stars. I personally would use this bag if I didn't have bags. This option is very attractive, but for work I could have chosen a more restrained pattern.

Pros
  • Mobile phone pocket in front with button; Main zipper
Cons
  • Neutral
