I do not carry a purse. I carry cards/cash/license in my wrist wallet, the old case top right, carried my phone, my leggings have no pockets. the two pouches shown, have magnets, they open and the back slides inside the waist band and snaps shut and rides under my shirts.
I now have two pouches, my iPhone 7 , Galaxy Cell in the other. both phones fit in either pouch. The new pouch has a zipper part for keys.
The pouch on the left is new. Amazon delivered it, reeking of heavy perfume. I have crazy scent allergies.
I left it in the sun for 2 hours, one day, and left it in the sun and RAIN because I forgot it for 2 hours the 2nd day. Still reeking of perfume.
I asked Google Girl how to remove the scent and she said scrub it with baking powder. I brushed and brushed it with baking powder, closed it in a baggie with baking powder and 24 hours later the smell was gone.
Someone asked why I got a new phone and did not use the iPhone. The iPhone has no sim card thus it has no phone number and is my camera and inside the house I use it on wi-fi as a mini mac tablet. It I the love of my life. I do all my playing with apps on that phone.
Another comment wondered why I had to get a new Galaxy when the other was only 3-year-old. the problem was, BEFORE the iPhone 7 was gifted to me, I played on the
galaxy phone and took so many photos I wore the battery out.
Samsung chose to make the battery non removeable except by techs. Techs wanted $79 to do that.
The phone also had aggravating habits. Like turning the screen black while talking on it. A known flaw, but not before I bought it.
The Plan: iPhone 7, camera and Mini Mac, wi-fi only......Samsumg, Phone Only, talk/text ask for help if lost away from home.

A good plan for sure. None of the wallets looks fat enough to hold keys! I'm so glad you got the smell out. Now I am wondering WHAT the...
That all makes sense. I have two phones - work and personal. The work phone is an eye-phone and I simply do not get on with it - hate, hate, hate it. Worst piece of technology I have ever had to interact with. Doesn't help that work has it so tied up in security that it takes layers of logons and fingerprints and authentication apps to even get into it. I tried to charge it off my work laptop today and it wouldn't even do that because it detected that it was connected to another device and deemed that a breach of security! Grrrr!
That all sounds complicated to me but if you are happy thats the main thing. Unlike the above comment I love my iPhone 12 pro. I just drop it in my pocket and use it for everything just like a computer. I have my credit cards and reward cards in the wallet section and I pay for everything by tapping it on the card reader and then double click and it sees my face ID and gives a big tick. I'm proud of myself at 81 for keeping up fairly well with technology but I did have a problem this morning trying to subscribe to BritBox but then discovered I made a mistake in my email address.Good luck with those natty accessories.
good idea! we agree.. leggings have no pockets... that is a problem... we have a waist bag that helps but it looks like a drugged kangaroo if I have all my stuff in this small thing...

Fair enough... YAM xx
Those pouches are ingenious. I've gone out before without a purse and had nowhere to put keys, phone and cash/cards. Those are the perfect solution.
I think your plan for the two phones is very clever.
My wife used to make wrist wallets and sell them in her ETSY shop. I think they were bought mostly by joggers.
Good that you found solutions that work for you!
Hello,
The pouches look like a great purchase. I like that they can be hidden under your shirt. I have used baking soda for a pair of shoes I ordered off the internet, it did help with the smell. Take care, have a happy day!
Hi Sandra :=)
Those pouches are such a good idea magnetic and hidden under your blouse out of the way is just brilliant. I do have a wrist band where I put my money when I'm out photographing, and I sewed a pocket from an old pair of leggings into the outside of a new pair for my phone. It doesn't show when I use my shirts on top.
Lots of things we get from Amazon stink to high heaven and need to be aired out for days.
Well done on getting that 'aroma' out. I'd have probably just returned it with a pithy comment or two.
I'd no idea they made those magnetic pouches that attach to your leggings. Slapping forehead -- why didn't I think about that?!
Love your Samsung's wallpaper!
Quite convenient caddy...now I just have to convince myself I don't have to have chap stick, hand lotion and sanitizer,
kleenx etc then I can get one.
LOL BOL MOL

You are the number #1 techie person that I know. Clever at scoping things out and finding the perfect result for you.
Terrific answer for the stinky wallet. Baking Soda is a wonder product for so many things.
Just to let you know that yesterday went so well. Lynne was happy and the repetition was at a minimum. We were outside most of the day, even ate lunch out there. "Sundowners" started in about 4PM as it get a bit dark but even that was ok. I clocked out at working for 10 hours and 35 minutes. I was really tired but not the usual emotional drain. Thanks for your prayers and concern.

Sounds like you have a good plan!
Hurray for modern devices and the joy they bring! 😊
Looks like you've got all the bases covered with these two phones. I love mine too, they are my magic machines. I always learn a lot from you, many thanks :)
Mom has used one of those pouches with the magnets too and liked it unti her neweest phone didn't fit in it. Now she has a Lululemon body purse that she just loves. it was a little pricey, but it works so well for her when she is out walking or shopping. It has two big pouches and pockets inside too.
