Captain my Samsung measurements are 2&3/4 inches wide by 5&1/16 inches, and my sunglasses
cover almost 2&1/2 inches wide. Can you accommodate those measurements ? ?

i like the idea of the nail apron using the fasteners. would think that a leather three holer might work in a situation like that with some heavy canvas tabs sewed into it and used to mount the pouch so the thickness of leather doesn't bother the fasteners. love all your stuff that i've gotten. great quality, great service and i'm sure this will be the same.

A leather version of this would work for me rather than the canvas. Deeper pockets before and after the shock strut hump, shaped to fit. Glasses in front, phone in back, held on with bolts..no velcro.

2" deep in front and in back, a longer pocket with an inside phone slot. Maybe larger enough but with a finger groove to lift a smaller phone out would work. Be nice if the leather was created so it could fold flatter for those times we are using the soft luggage. But it would be easy enough to removed for the long trips. Be real handy for my daily and weekend riding, especially with cooler weather, earlier darkness, and rain in my near future.

I use bolts so mounting it would be no issue. Thin leather over the strut hump would not cost any clearance shoving in rain gear, chaps, etc.

Canvas might be okay, but I am not a fan of it anywhere off the boat or away from elk camp.

Oh, I'd only buy the right side. Easy and quick access.

I want a way to mount something like this on the inside of the bag. I have one of these for travel. The elastic is impregnated with rubber so it hold pretty much everything perfectly. Steal the idea and make it motorcycle relevant.

Itch I have some of your stuff and it is great, but I hate to throw a monkey wrench into the deal, but I could really use something like that which clips, (big metal clips) on to the sun visor in my truck, to hold sunglasses, insurance papers, phone maybe?

For the glasses I like the simple idea of a shotgun shell holder from tactical suppliers. this holds the arm of the glasses only. It also holds small flashlights, zip ties etc. So it would be cool to maybe take your design and have one large pocket then maybe a few of the loop type holders for glasses. Here is what I am talking about for reference.
Elastic material like the shotgun shell holder is a good idea? That way it can "stretch" to accommodate different size phones?
