    It’s not using it for directions, it is tucking it away in small pockets. I have a cycle computer while cycling, so putting my phone neatly and securely in a zipped pocket would be nice. But can’t do that currently as the phone is too tall (pockets too small?)

    Similar with running, doesn’t fit is a zipped pocket all that well cause too tall, so have to throw it in a “food” pocket instead.

      That’s simply absurd. I’m sorry but you’re just inventing needs now. Get an arm band. They’re specifically made for phones. And foldables are generally bigger than regular phones with a few exceptions, and even then they’re super thick, not really saving you anything.

        Did you miss the point where I said it was small benefits of having a flip style phone? Thickness is typically not the issue, but just how tall phones are is starting to get troublesome in small annoyance ways.

        Get an arm band? I don’t really want to be running 30km with an arm band thanks. Or cycling 300km with one either. The small bits of comfort are kinda important(not $1200 worth it though).
