Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Size, Quality, and Functionality This is my first case for carrying essentials while riding and I am very impressed. It is a must have if all you have been using is a plastic sandwich bag. It's the perfect size to carry a Samsung Galaxy S8+ plus money, keys, credit cards and ID with plenty of room to spare an fits perfectly in jersey pocket. The internal material is soft which protects the smartphone screen and separate zippered pocket and an additional divider on the opposite side is great. On race day I can easily swap my phone for tools, CO2, spare tube, money, ID etc. The waterproofing is great at protecting what you are carrying inside from sweat or rain.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Quality Had the normal size essentials case however this was stolen by my pregnant girlfriend for her to use (not eat) clearly she needed something of better quality to store her many receipts which replaced her bulging purse - This large one is perfect now and comfortably holds my Samsung S9. This is going to be well used until the missus steals this one too. In which case I'd be straight onto Rapha to order another one. (Case. Not Girlfriend).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Truly an essential piece This case is the absolute best solution for keeping your phone and other valuables dry and secure. I love the two slots for my keys and ID/credit cards. Nothings worse than a sweaty back soaking your phone, or having your phone and small items shifting and flopping around in your jersey pockets. This case keeps the items secure, and is about the size and width of a jersey pocket, keeping everything snug in and in place. Love the finishing and attention to detail as well. Great piece, great value. This is a no brainer.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Excellent case with just one concern I had to purchase a new essentials case when I upgraded from my old iPhone 6 to an X. It had to be weatherproof and it had to have pockets for cards, cash and some emergency first aid items. The Rapha case seemed a perfect fit and when it arrived I was very impressed. It exceeded my expectations. Though larger it is still narrow enough that it fits easily into your jersey pocket, as the size is mostly the length and not width of the case. The rainproof material makes it easy to put in/pull out of my jersey pocket compared to my previous leather case which would kind of get stuck when it absorbed some moisture. The only thing that concerns me is that the internal zip may scratch the screen on my phone, and when I turn the phone the other way the zip is right in line with the camera lens. So I must be careful to put the phone in the case with the back facing the zip, but the camera lens at the bottom to avoid damage to the phone. Had the zip gone right to the edge of the case it would not be an issue. Overall, it's still a great case and can't be beat for the price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just what I was looking for! This case is exactly what I wanted to replace the ugly clear sandwich bags. I easily can store cash, license, key and my iPhone XR in the case and the items are perfectly protected from sweat and rain. The case material is very sturdy and can easily be wiped down. Some people mentioned their concerns about the zipper inside of the case and scratches on their phone faces. I do not think this is a problem at a because all you have to do is to let the backside of the phone facing the zipper... easy breezy! I’m glad it has the inside zippered compartment for the coin’s. The case fits perfectly in the back pockets.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great waterproof case I bought this a month ago, have taken it on 2 rides so far - neither wet, but both hot and sweaty. My phone and cards showed no evidence of sweat or condensation. Time will tell though. It fits my Google Pixel 3 (non-XL) phone well with a little room to spare. the internal zipper could be slightly better positioned to avoid scratching the camera lens, but I just have to remember to put my phone in the other direction. I have so far filled it with my phone, 2 cards, photo ID, and some notes and coins - plenty of spare room. Pokes out ~1cm over the top of my middle jersey pocket but doesn't concern me, there's a wide range of colours and if that is a concern - get a smaller phone, or a discreet colour (like black!) I'll re-review if I get a chance to go out in the rain!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Handy & Stylish Needed a longer bag to fit in my jersey [coket and carry all my essentials. I no longer use saddle bags, so this is my go to bag/wallet for repair stuff, etc. The case fits in my middle jersey pocket nicely and doesn't bulge much at all (I had a small size before, and I found it to be a bit tight). In this one I carry: 1 tube, 2 tire levers, CO2, CO2 inflator, chain powerlink, foldable ziplock bag (for my cell), cash, & my lucky plastic diamond (given by my daughter). I probably have room for my cell also but I like it to be handy in another jersey pocket. I have room for a multi-tool, but riding buddies always have theirs so..

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Nearly there but not quite. Does what is says on the tin. Water proof phone cover with pocket for keys and cards. But not as well thought out as many of the other Rapha products I’ve used. The main zip is the water proof variety but it’s pretty stiff to move it. I’ve had zips like this in the past they don’t tend to last long. We’ll see. The zip for the coin/key compartment is not protected from your phone would scratch your phone if you don’t have a case on the phone. Like I said was expecting a little more refinement.

Do you think inside this essential case would fit a small point-and-shoot camera? The camera fits as far as width and height but not sure about depth. The camera is 4cm in depth. Is the case material expandable that, say can expand 2cm, even if bulging?

Asked by: Luis G
It is hard for us to be exact in fit advice. i'd say it won't fit and we however have a free 30 day return policy so you can order for trying and return for a full refund if it doesn't fit as good.

Does it fit into the jersey's back pocket?

Asked by: DCSY
Hi, this is longer in length so it will stick out from the back pocket but it will still fit in as far as width. How well it will fit in does depend on the size of your jersey and the particular pockets of each jersey.
