I had a zero halliburton for a while - great case but attracted crackheads…
I got myself a Bellroy cross body bag at the weekend. It’s very well made, nice chain inside for keys, has a few neat compartments and I particularly like the magnetic clasp over the conventional clip.
As someone who never carries anything around other than a key and a phone, this is a huge upgrade for me
First test run will be at the airport later in the week to hold passports and boarding passes etc.
Very nice. I’ve just gone for the Tomtoc instead as it was cheaper than Belroys offering:
Green Amex? Edit - perhaps not, hard to tell.
Going on holiday in a couple of weeks, so I decided to add to my Bellroy collection and get the Passport Cover.

After our experience with the Bellroy leather cases for Pixel I wouldn’t buy anything from them again.
This is a bit less than 10 months old and lives in a side pocket of my wife’s handbag that only contains the phone. We’ve had phones with leather cases that have looked better than this after 4 years.
If you email them they might replace
The one that lives on its own in a pocket of my manbag is similarly worn, but as it’s black it’s less noticeable. They just don’t seem very well made.
Noreve is calling again…
Bellroy kit usually ages very gracefully - I’m shocked at the condition of that case.
By way of contrast, this is my Hide and Seek wallet which I’ve had for a few years now.
Yes I’ve previously heard good things and these were our first Bellroy purchases. Was very disappointed bust I think it’s a design issue. Shockingly thin leather outer skin stretched over a hard inner shell.
Perhaps just a completely different type of product to a wallet or bag, I don’t know if they’d done phone cases previously.
Same thing happened to me last year with a Bellroy leather (light coloured) Px8Pro case:
I’m now using the black replacement case and, so far, 5 months in and no similar issue. Bellroy clearly know about this - I’d recommend asking for a replacement.
Thanks @davidwalton, that’s very helpful. Appreciate the reply.
For the best leather phone cases - hands down Ryan London. Just perfect quality.
Been using a magnet wallet for the last 6 weeks, really happy with it. Got this one for around £11 as I had store credit.

Finally caved and got this bag with half of London
So practical and well designed, and the new red colour was decent. And 20% Black Friday
I have one - it’s here with us for a one night stay near my parents and serves me well for my Friday day trips. Excellent bag, love it. And you say “with half of London” but I don’t see that many when I’m in The Smoke.
Maybe I’ve got that thing where I’m consciously looking out for them but saw hundreds on my commutes last week.
Glad to hear it’s serving you well
I have one too and the hype is real. My favourite bag by far but I have the 15L one I think
