Yes, I definitely agree, that pocket is so tiny! Sadly, my Galaxy doesn't fitVery nice photo! I totally agree with you, while the old model is pretty and great size having more vachetta I just see how the bottom can be problematic, it stains easily and also somehow I noticed the bottom part often becomes misshapen and loses its structure. Probably not a big deal but the new model solves that problem. The thing they sacrifice is the pocket, hardly fits my new iPhone and the old one didn’t fit at all.
BTW, I just sprayed my vachetta with Apple guard , we will see how that works since normally I stay away from any vachetta cause I love it clean and light.

I'm just going to use it for keys or lipsticks.
