Large Smartphone Quick Access Storage

[WalkingItOff]

Such large beasts, has anyone found an around the neck or backpack strap attachment to allow for easy access to an IPhone 6 PLUS? A fanny pack turned around seems awfully bulky. I've not been able to find anything... Any ideas or products? Thanks

Just some thoughts.

I wouldn't want a neck attachment for various reasons.

They make upper arm holders for phones. Aimed at runners. You could look at that.

I have a water bottle holder that includes a zipped pocket. I think the pocket is large enough for your phone.

Obviously this is why they invented cargo pants -)

And sports bras. Although the Plus may be a bit more obvious than the more typically sized smartphone unless you are really well endowed.

I have a Galaxy Note - had one on my last Camino too. I just kept it in my pocket.

You could look at "front packs". They are made by several companies and some attach to the shoulder straps of your backpack. Here is an example: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00GBVK1YW/?tag=casaivar-21

I made a flat pouch with dividers and zippers to hold my Galaxy Note 2, Brierley guide, credencial and cash for the day. It has an adjustable neck strap but I wore it across my chest and at my side like a purse. However for walking all day it isn't comfortable to have it dragging on your neck and bouncing. So I put some loops on the top and side of the pouch and used caribiners to hook on my belt loops or pack. When I wanted to remove my pack I just unhooked those connections and did not have to remove my valuable pouch from my body all day. I felt quite secure always knowing where it was. It worked very well. Somewhere I have a photo.

Funny you said that, I glanced at the original post quick and that is what I saw "Such large beasts, has anyone found an around the neck or backpack strap attachment to allow for easy access" then came the "IPhone 6" ........I went back and read it again.

Looks like their Dry Docs Digi Ds could work as a fallback - I had imagined something exotic to attach to the backpack straps with a sort of quick-release capability for this instant photo-taking... but, so it is with fantasy. Thanks, Racer, for your suggestion.

The quick release is a s-biner, a simple plastic carabiner to clip to the shoulder straps.

Or you could make a simple holder like this, just bend it to fit your iPhone 6+.

Check out Aarn backpacks. They have attachments with front pouches that allow access to water, cameras, med supplies, and just about anything else you need at hand.

Hmmm...I can't tell if the original poster is male or female, but there should be plenty of room in a sports bra for the average guy to carry an iPhone 6 Plus -- I'm just not sure if the average guy would be comfortable wearing one.
