Shoulder pocket for iPhone 12 Pro Max?

Check out Gossamer Gear. Their large pocket should be plenty big, with a zipper across the top and a mesh pocket. Way better than ZPacks IMO

I can highly recommend modifying an Encased belt clip for shoulder strap use. I have been doing this for years and my phone has never fallen out even after hundreds of miles of brush bashing. All the folks I hike/hunt/ski with have either made their own or I did the conversion for them.

Buy the case/belt clip combo. Break the belt clip piece off the carrier. Cut 4 slots in the case with a dremel tool. Sew a short length of 1″ grossgrain (for reduced bulk) through a Slik Clip and then sew a tail of Velco omnitape to that (and make 2 of these). Thread these through the slots and then attach the Velcro tails to each other to snug the Slik Clips against the back of the case carrier. Voila. Easy one-handed operation.

Another option is Zimmerbuilt’s phone pocket. Chris has always been willing to make custom items when I have asked nicely in the past.

I use note 9 which is similar size as iphone 12 pro max, and I even use it with a waterproof case making it even larger. It fit perfectly in Our HANCHOR CELL phone bag. The additional advantage is that it provide great protection from rain and collision . Furthermore, fidlock closure is super easy to open and access the phone.

Would you be opposed to using a fanny pack? I started to carry my phone in my HMG Versa fanny pack attached to my sternum strap, as I found my arms would always bump into larger shoulder strap pockets.

Both a Gossamer Gear large (a little tight if phone covered) and HMG works ok.

Both are zip (potential weak link) so been thinking of a mini roll-top from an Etsy manufacturer.

Of course the theory is to have it close at hand … especially for sudden pictures.

Treadlitegear in the UK makes a couple of options that should suit, one without a zip, and one with a zip. Shipping is cheap, but I don’t know how long it will take to arrive.

@Syoten – Do you have a link to that pouch? Thanks!

Thank you, Matthew. Company is misspelled in the post – explains why I couldn’t track it down. Much appreciated!

You are welcome! I edited the post above too in order to eliminate confusion.

BTW, we have a coupon of free worldwide shipping recently for 10th Anniversary.

I’ve been using the HMG shoulder pocket.  iPhone 12 Pro Max fits perfectly.  Advantage for me is the attachment system allows to easily move from left shoulder to right as I change my umbrella position throughout the day.  Disadvantage is I leave it unzipped and the phone can slip out if I bend over.  In all though I like it.
