Like my old one but rainproof
Bought to replace a standard essentials case, this one dealt with its only shortcoming, letting in small amount of water in wet conditions. I find the rainproof slightly more spacious and it takes my embarrassingly old iphone 6SE with ease, plus money, mask, spare gel, cards etc. The brick red colour is more 'brick brown' to my eyes - the range of colours could be more exciting perhaps?

Surprisingly useful
Surprisingly useful for what is essentially a “girls purse” (description provided by a fellow rider). Of course men can have purses, as can ladies and anyone of a gender fluid or neutral persuasion. This is a unisex product that does the job of keeping stuff clean and dry to ensure you can immediately upload your ride to Strava without waiting until you have dried everything off.

Superb case
Although expensive, I love this case. It fits my iPhone 6S well with a zip pocket for money and separate space for ID. It is well padded and a comfortable fit in a jersey pocket.

Great phone case
Bought this a few weeks ago. Should have bought this sooner. Ziplock bag days are behind me now lol. Can easily store my iPhone 7 or iPhone x, plus my ID, credit cards etc. A+++.

Does the job
Does the job, and fits my iPhone 12 mini, AirPods, keys, cards and some change. Mainly use on daily commute to keep these things dry - seems waterproof but not tested in a torrential downpour. Quality is ok, feels a bit plasticky tbh but probably because of the waterproof material. Would prefer soft leather for a premium feel but then not fully waterproof so I can’t complain!

Utilitarian - practical and without joy
I purchased the Essentials Case as I lost my original case racing (with my phone et al inside). The original case was far superior - it was the leather version. It was a delight to use and felt beautiful in my hands. This new case is utilitarian. The zip works but is not buttery smooth like the old one. The case is waterproof but no different to a thousand other products.

Essential?
I have ridden through all sorts of weather, and never though of something like this as essential, but now that I have one, I am now a believer. The size is quite manageable, smallish so it discourages me from packing it full of crap I don't need to bring with me on a ride, but keeps my essential stuff dry and together. Oh, that must be why you call it what you do.

Pretty Waterproof and simply cool!
I have a few of these cases (leather version, special edition) and was given this one as a gift. Its really quite waterproof, my leather one gets moist when its against my back during hot sessions. The detailing is lovely with a zipped compartment for my emergency €20 note. Fits my iPhone 8 perfectly but you'll need something bigger if you have an XL phone.

Excellent case
Got a few of these to replace the standard Essentials case as I found that after a while the zip starts to corrode on the normal one where it's in your pocket and you sweat. The rainproof one is much better and the whole case is as the title suggested... rainproof! And the zip is hidden so will last much longer. Great little case to pop in the jersey pocket.

Very glad I bought it
I love zipping this thing up and slipping it into my jersey with my cards, cash, phone, and mini tool organized in one place. The yellow color is great. One thing: I haven't been caught in a downpour yet, so I can't speak to how effective it actually is; though, it feels like it would keep everything dry (and did in Youtube reviews I watched before buying).

Really Great *****
Really Great case!
I use it as a common wallet and when i go ride, I put there the CO2 pump and tool.
I wondered if the case has got some partition inside, as I could find any information before purchase. It has one small zip pocket - for coins and cards and id. And one partition for banknotes. Perfect material and superb manufactoring - Rapha

THANK YOU RAPHA

Found what I was in search of
I’ve been looking for something to consolidate all my jersey pocket items into one place and this fits the bill perfectly. It’s just the right size for my iPhone SE (with its case), plus it has a section for cash, credit cards for and identification. It zips up nicely and it’s waterproof, so as to not absorb my perspiration. Highly recommended.

Rapha Rainproof Case
Bought this case to protect my phone from the rain when I ride. It had to be water proof. It was hard to find a protect that held this claim and was for road cycling. Well, it works! I rode last weekend in the rain and my phone was bone dry. I also like how I can carry my driver's license, cash and my car keys in the case. Great product.

Add to your basket now, you won't be disappointed
Having owned one of these for a few years now I got a second one, the first one is still like new I just wanted another as it's such a good product. If you have something valuable to transport which needs keeping dry I don't know of a better product for putting in a jersey pocket. Stylish durable and practical, what more could you ask for?

Cool Case
Well made Case , I have the small case, still has plenty of room, if you want to use it for a big phone get the larger case. I do not use mine as a phone case , i use it as a wallet, the case has 3 sections one zippered section. you cant go wrong with the case , its well made, looks sharp and holds small things nicely.

Not Quite Like the Original
I found this Rainproof Essentials Case acceptable, but not nearly as well made as previous versions. I have purchased four of these cases before. They were all leather. This one is made of a waterproof synthetic material. lt is satisfactory, but not the same quality as I expected. The price was the same, however.

Rainproof Essentials Case
I’ve had limited use, but so far, this case is an excellent product. I’d thought about a leather essentials case for a while, but was always hesitant because of its lack of water resistance. While this isn’t waterproof, the materials and construction do seem like they’d keep your valuables dry in a sudden downpour.

Nice. Just nice and Fits a Iphone 7 nicely
Fits in a couple bills, a credit card, an ID, phone, tissues and keys. Just fits nicely and in the jersey pocket. Looks Rain/waterproof (tho I didn't test).

Waterproof With A Helpful Compartment
I used this case on a bike trip in Poland. It rained at least once every day. The rainproof case was much appreciated. I like how there is a zipper inside where you can place your important cards (credit cards, insurance cards, license, etc). Plus, I really love the color options offered. I have the purple case.

Really like this!!
I really like this case. It has enough space for my phone, card, tyre leavers etc.... I feel this product is well thought through. My only criticism is that the case was not available in a more exciting colour when I ordered it. Really like the Education First version but unfortunately this is not waterproof:(

Phone case
Great product. Exactly what I was looking for in a case to carry my cell phone. Very well designed and well made. It will withstand the heat and humidity of Carolina. I would certanly recommend and purchase again (when necessary). I evaluated other products but Rapha had the best option at a great value.

Goodbye Saddle Bag!
I wanted something streamlined that would sit in my back pocket that could hold a tube, a few tools and some other bits, and this was perfect. Means no more unsightly saddle bag, so all in all very happy! Does fit a phone, but is pretty tight, and I like to have mine at hand so didnt affect my review score.

It is indeed rainproof and nicely made too.
Nicely made case with internal zip pocket for key and cards. Space for Pixel 4a in case and the all-important face mask too. I'd quite like a wee elastic loop to attach key inside zipped pocket as it's sometimes difficult to find among other stuff. Rainproof and robust. Fits jersey pocket very nicely.

Waterproof case
Does what it is supposed to do. Would be better if it was a little larger as my phone needs to be taken out of the case to fit into this rainproof case. I do not have a plus size phone so the larger size would be too large. Standard phones keep getting larger so the supporting products must adjust.

Well made but really need the large one…
I bought this on the recommendation of my daughter, who has a large version. That option wasn’t available so this one is a bit small for my needs. Well made however. Three weeks later I see the large edition is for sale again!!! Grrrr - get your suppliers sorted and give customers options!!!

Essential to all my rides (rain or shine)
High quality, great case to throw essentials in that you don't want to get wet from rain or sweat while in your jersey pocket. I have a small and large one. Small one I use for essentials like cash, cards, a face mask, etc. and the large one for a spare tube, tire levers, patch kit, and allen keys.

Almost perfect
The Rainproof Essentials Case would be perfect if the exterior had a grippy surface to prevent the case sliding out of a jersey pocket when mountain biking across rough terrain.
I use two cases. One for a phone and another for tools and a spare tube. This is a great product that is almost perfect.
