I REALLY love the new Teen size and was close to purchasing but realized my Samsung Galaxy S8 was a tight fit, to the point where it was pushing out the leather and would distort it over time. I wish they made it just a smidge larger, like a size between the Teen and Medium. I was surprised as I knew the Small wouldn't fit a smartphone but assumed the Teen would have been easier to get it in and out. I knew over time that shoving my phone and and out and misshapening the leather would bother me.
 
I tried it on and it is a good size to carry just your essentials, but you can't have a big phone indeed!
I could fit in a card holder, small iphone, metro card, keys, comb and lipbalm and a handkerchief but really nothing else.
That being said I feel it is just the right size for this bag, the small was too tiny and the medium one is a bit big visually I feel.
 
It’s easier to get things in and out from the small size compared to teen size. The dimensions of the teen size caused the issue.

Can you tell me a bit more? I'm having a Hard time choosing between Small and Teen. I'm only 147 cm, I don't have a large phone. So my essentials should fit into either of them. Just thinking whether Teen is more practical.

Hi if you see the pictures attached, the teen size actually has one fold less than the small size. That causes the opening of the teen size more rigid and difficult.

Will you be changing to a large phone? If you won’t and you do not have a lot to carry I’d recommend the small size.

Well not changing phone for a while but not sure about next year or two. I really love the look of the Small but everyone is saying that the Teen is so practical. I don't want to make the wrong decision. Thank you!
