Definitely deal breaker if you can’t store your phone comfortably. Especially for me as I use otterbox. Learned my lesson previously when the screen shattered after I dropped my phone on cobblestone.It's really nice. I'm sending mine back because it's tight. My phone actually can fit horizontal in the top slip pocket section between the 2 compartments, but not inside and the compartments are a tight fit for my things plus crossbody it's too short. Really pretty though!
Same for georgie saddle bag in kelp. Love the color, but phone doesn't fit in back pocket.... sensing a theme here..all the pretty bags I have to pass on because of this huge phone!
