Phone Sling 1.5L

awesome Sling. Love love love it!

I took this with me on a 2 week trip in Japan and it fit my passport, wallet (Sympl brand), chapstick, phone, and a handkerchief. It was difficult to take the wallet in and out because I had it in the 2nd pocket after the passport (opposite the phone pocket) and it was a tight fit, but I didn’t want it to fall out by just leaving it in the main compartment.

The zipper opening and closing is loud and I’m not sure why.

I like that everything is tight and secure, but it wasn’t easy to take things out and put them back in, especially in a rush, and you have to slide them in at an angle.

Just a perfect everyday carry sling with one major exception: The strap for the Carbonate version is only comfortable if you are a taller person. If you are 5’9” or shorter there is a good chance the magnetic latch will hit you right on the top of your shoulder — NOT comfortable. The latch on the X-PAC version is much closer to the actual sling. If I had known this I would have spent the extra cash for the the X-PAC. Reached out to Sympl, but was just past the return policy. I’d even pay for the X-PAC strap if I could but it’s not offered as an accessory. A real bummer too that the straps connect to the sling via a proprietary clasp, meaning third party straps are not really an option.

The SYMPL Phone Sling 1.5 L is an excellent design and made of quality materials for providing security and safety for carrying my I Phone.
