i never paid much attention to the portatelefono and was wondering if a lot of ppl own them. also, what things do u guys put in them if u own any? i'm just wondering if i'd get good usage out of one if i did get one.

thanks for ur input!

I have a L'amore Porta. I use it mostly as a camera bag and have taken off the qee and wrist strap. I also put other small electronics, like my earpiece for my cell phone, memory cards, and flash drives in it, too. I occasionally use it as an actual purse/large wallet in itself, but I don't find it too convenient for that.

i have an OP porta, and it holds my nintendo ds lite :)

I like the angioletto better since I use it for my DS and it's roomier... honestly I haven't found a use yet for a porta which is why I have yet to own one

I'd honestly use a bocce or caramella more often that a portatelefono

I have a Pirata Porta and I use it for my Video Ipod and earphones.

I took the strap off mine and I carry it inside my Mamma Mia for small things, like my USB flash drive, iPhone earbuds, small tube of lotion, hard candies, tampons, and a mirror compact. That's all the small stuff that would usually swim around in the bottom of my purses, and the Porta keeps it more organized...also makes it easier when I change bags frequently.

I use a Caramella inside my bag much the same way but for flatter stuff, like misc papers, photos, a small notebook, receipts, etc.

I keep my porta in my purse with a digital camera in it. Spare batteries and card in the mesh pocket. Then when on travelling, I sometimes throw my room key, id, credit card, cash and phone in it and use it as a mini purse when running out to quick outings or the beach, etc. Works really well. I have another one I put my iPod/earbuds/charger in when travelling.

I have to say I have two angioletto's and it like them MUCH better. I use mine as a wallet.

I have a spiaggia porta and I keep my i-phone in it. It is the perfect size. Before I got my phone, I used it as a camera case. If I'm just running into a store quick, I put my credit card/cash in the mesh pocket on the front and hook the strap over my wrist. I kind of wish the little strap on the back wasn't there so the characters would be more visible (I guess it is for hooking it on your belt, which I would never do.) This is probably the Toki I use the most and the one I get the most compliments on. I don't know how popular they are, but they seem to go for below retail on Ebay.

I use a porta for an ipod and earbuds. I take off the qee and strap, and I like to clip it on the outside of a bambinone.
