Perfect
I really like this case it keeps my phone, money and card safe and dry when I go biking. It’s very well made and the perfect size to fit in a bike jersey rear pocket. You barely feel it on rides. The only thing is the interior pocket zipper the end could damage your phone screen just flip the screen the other way and it’s all good.

My go to ride case
I already had this in yellow but loved the grey-green so I jumped on it during the winter sale. This case is the perfect size for me. My iPhone fits in it, even with a case on it, I can stash a few cards in the zippered inner pocket, and it still fits in my jersey. Well sealed against rain, and these seem to hold up quite well.

It's a small bag.
Nice quality but massively over priced for what it is. There's a design flaw as well in that the internal zipper is positioned so that it either puts a point of pressure on the screen or rubs against the back of the phone. Not ideal, I had to break it off which just leaves an open internal pouch. Would be better without this.

Essential, essentials case.
I have the mid sized case, essential for phone, credit cards etc. However, a new phone would not fit so the larger case was required. A Samsung A32 5G fits snuggly in the large essentials case including its translucent protective cover and has room to spare for credit cards. The new case like the old one goes on every ride.

Quality product / highly recommended
No idea why I got such a big phone, but when it arrived there was no chance of it fitting in my trusty old essentials case so I ordered a new one - superb quality, perfect fit, top quality zipper and looks great. I haven’t submerged it to test just how waterproof it is, but it looks like it should survive a good drenching!

Many owned, one king...
Seriously, get it... rain and more importantly for me, sweat - which happens to me often. I don’t have a big phone but wanted extra space for other things (gopro batteries etc). Comfortable and a moisture barrier to your ID/cash and electronics. I see no downside to this product, nothing I can think of that I’m missing...

Excellent case - perfect fit!
Amazing product, perfectly fits iPhone XS Max and my wallet and Car key. For the price, I would have liked a better inner liner though, and the internal zip rubs against the phone screen one way, and the camera the other... need a better arrangement there. Excellent product nonetheless, very happy with my purchase.

Proven Product and looks good as well
The shape and size fit is all well balance. I've been using this rainproof Essentials Case for my daily rise and I love it. The material protect the item inside from getting wet ie. rain and sweat. I bought the navy blue cover casing and it looks good. I would recommend everyone to get it. Great product !!!

Good size for smaller phones as well
Glad I bought it. Sturdy well built. I wanted the yellow color but it wasnt available. No worries. The pouch is great size for plus sized phones and otherwise. It could have been more wide by half an inch but no worries. I stuff in credit cards, keys, cash, cell phone, powerbank (ANKER) and it does its job.

Perfect for its role
Perfect for those hot and sweaty or rainy day rides. iPhone 8+ fits very well. Nice zipper compartment for cards, and non-zip pocket on the other side too. Not really designed for easy zipping and unzipping while on the bike — that’s kind of the point tho for a rainproof case. Great quality and looks good.

Perfect Little Pouch
It's the perfect size to hold my iPhone X (with case), ID, insurance card, some spare cash, and my keys. It's a great way to organize little items like that and keep them in one place rather than rattling around in a jersey pocket. It's also weatherproofed, so the items don't get wet from rain or sweat.

All you need
I've used both sizes of the rainproof cases. I now use the large with an I-Phone 11 and a case. There is still ample room for money, cards and space to spare. Fits in the rear pocket of a jersey and is nice and snug. This is really what you need to carry your phone if you want rainproof protection.

Perfect fit for I-Phone
Perfect fit for an I-phone Pro Max. I use as a daily wallet since I don't need to check my phone every minute. It holds my cards and cash easily. The only thing I am careful with is the interior zipper. I make sure my screen is faced the opposite direction to avoid point pressure and scratching.

Great Protection for Valuables
I live in Central Florida, so surprise rain showers happen all the time. This is great insurance for my phone, car keys, headphones, phone charger, and some cards/cash. It also makes it super easy to grab and run out of the house- knowing I have all my essentials in one pocketable rainproof package!

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.

Quality Essentials Case
Excellent product which looks good as well. It stores everything I need it to, phone, keys, money, tyre levers and even my mini pump. It fits nicely in my back pocket and the contents are protected well from rain and sweat.
The only thing that irked me was having to pay £5 postage on the product.

Waterproof with plenty of room for my needs
Bought to hold my iPhone6s and it has enough room for cleat covers, a mask and cards. Was in jersey back pocket during recent downpours for over 2 hours and didn't leak (single use face mask still dry). Really please as much more expensive than the plastic bag I used to use but way more stylish.

Perfect bag for my stuff
Fantastic product. I have a Samsung s21 and there is plenty of room for the phone, keys and tubeless kit as well. Perfect size, not too big or anything, and it fits right in the pocket. And of course, everything is dry and the zipp is not something that seems like its going to break tomorrow.

Larege essentials case
Ive tried several brands and although I find Rapha over priced, this item works better than others such as Bellroy for me. My iphone 11 won't find other cases due to the case it sits in. The large piuch is a little big but for the price, its a no frills water-resistant case. Well done Rapha

Great Case - Does the Job
Does what it needs to do - holds my iPhone 11, cards & cash. I've been using an Essentials case for close to ten years now and was disappointed when the materials changed from leather to "water resistant" - lost a bit of class along the way. Would really like to see two material options.

perfect size
I purchased the large weather proof case one month ago and have used it on every ride (5X/week). This large case holds my phone in its otter box, has a zipped compartment which holds a credit card and loose change and a third compartment for cash. this all fits neatly into a jersey pocket.

First class product
This is a great product, I-Phone X fits perfectly and I love the zipped compartment which I keep some spare cash and a card, it fits nicely into a jersey pocket and I also use it when out in the garden as it keeps the phone safe and protects it from the odd rain shower. Great quality too.

This is seriously good.
I've tried all the cheapo phone cases from a number of different brands but they all either broke or let moisture in. This is the REAL DEAL!! No it is not cheap, but if you can afford it, everytime you pull it out you smile or someone else will make you smile by asking where you got that!

Not what I expected
This is my first purchase from Rapha and I was quite surprised with the build quality. This case is made from good materials but the seams are crooked like I bought a fake thing.
The next step is to try jersey and bibs. After that, I can finally decide are these things worth their cost.

Excellent hard wearing waterproof case.
I bought this case for my over size phone to protect it on my commute to work. It does just that and is waterproof, seems to be very well made and the large ring pull zip makes it easy to open. As with most Rapha kit its not cheap but its worth the extra money and should last for years.

Perfect case for every rider
This is a great case and perfect to carry your phone, money and id. I have one and have given this as a gift to several friends that ride and they love it too. When you live in a wet state it is perfect for the humidity or getting caught in the rain. I never will use a zip lock again!

Amazing product
I purchased because previous essentials cases didn't fit new larger smart phones and I wanted to completely waterproof. This one fits the bill and it slots perfectly into rear pockets. Very well made and attention to detail like all great Rapha products. Takes keys and ID and money too

Great find
Bought this to fit my Motorola G5 plus. Most rainproof cases are too small, this one fits my smartphone + some cards + home key + has room for some cash which is safely stored in a zipped inside pocket. The zipper is rainproof, so superb to keep your valuables dry and safely stored.

Perfect size for Jersey Pocket
I do not like to have a seat bag on my bike. This case is the perfect way to carry bike tools, tube and other essentials in a waterproof case that fits nicely in my jersey pocket on my back. Big enough to carry everything I need while compact enough to lay flat in my jersey pocket.

Great case for your ride essentials
This is my second case, first one is smaller and not waterproof I use it as my day to day wallet. This is why I've decided to get one dedicated only for bike use where I can keep my tools, CO2, money, ID etc. The case being waterproof just adds another star to the whole package.
