Really nice case for iPhone 11
I've been using it for a few weeks, keeps the phone dry in light showers, the light green looks nice. Nice product.

A tad too small
Too small to fit the I Phone 13X in a Lifeproof Case. Seriously disappointing. Time to side it up just a bit.

Carries my iPhones
I bought this about a month ago and needed something I could carry my personal and work phone in, I got tired of placing each phone In different pockets of my britches. I was nervous it wouldn’t hold an IPhone 10 and and IPhone 11 but to my surprise it held both, very sleek, a credit card, receipts and an ID.
When you aren’t working and riding it fits all your bike repair gear while keeping everything dry and clean!!
Highly recommend this item, worth every penny!

Rainproof Essentials Case - Large
The pouch is fantastic and the sweat from the cycling doesn't compromise the items inside it.

Value for money case
Great waterproof case at a great price. I use two, one for my iPhone XS and one to carry tools (accommodates micro pump, tyre leavers, puncture kit, valve tool and tissues with ease). Case has a zipped pouch inside, the zip x as others have stated - could scratch your phone screen, but careful placement of the phone ensuring the screen and camera lens are not in contact easily avoids any scratches or damage. The case easily accommodates an iPhone XS with plenty room.

Nice Quality Waterproof Case for On the Bike
Just received the size large which is ideal for my iPhone 8 and a bit of future-proofing for a larger phone. The case is well made and only observation is that the waterproof zipper is stiff sliding around the curved ends of the case. Hopefully this will zip up more smoothly with use - I may try a little silicone spray lubricant. The large size Rapha case fits perfectly in the centre back pocket of my cycling jerseys and stays in place.

Great water resistant case to organize your ride
This is a well designed cycling "wallet" that really helps me organize the things I carry in my jersey pocket. I don't use this as a phone wallet, as I like to have my phone very accessible, but design is great for carrying roadside repair items, cash, a credit card, identification and other items, like a mask (never thought I'd have to carry one while cycling). The internal design has an open slot on one cover and a zippered pocket on the other, with a lot of space in between. I chose the large for the additional length to hold the mask without folding it and it works really well. It is absolutely waterproof in the rain, even when getting poured on, but I haven't tried to submerge it, and hope I never have to. Fits great in the jersey pocket and causes no discomfort. Keeps me from forgetting things and having a bunch of stuff loose in my pockets.

Rapha -good and cheap? Surely some mistake?
This is just a fantastic product, and Ive bought three. Great on the bike for phone, money/card, etc (and now mask) -tough, waterproof and slips easily into jersey pocket or bag, but now also use in every day life to carry two phones wallet etc as a man-purse. Fab - useful and protects my fragile masculinity (its an adventure bag, my friend). Rapha produce much high quality stuff, but little that is genuinely inexpensive. This is both.

Rapha need to refine the zipper design.
Fits iPhone 12 just fine. Material is robust and water resist. However I still don’t like the zipper in the inside pocket. Although it did not scratch my phone, I need to make sure I insert my phone with the back (phone cover on) against the zipper edge. I cannot imagine inserting phone with screen face against the zipper... isn’t it time for Rapha to refine the zipper design?? It’s been several iterations and still no refinements??

Indispensable
This is my second essentials case - I wore the first one out! My first one was initially purchased solely for use on the bike, but I now find my-self using it continuously: due at first to the change in life-style that lockdowns & restrictions brought about, but now because of the simplicity of the thing. It suits it’s purpose perfectly, allowing phone, cards & cash to be carried in one compact & organised case. Indispensable.

Great size, great quality
This case is perfect for carrying my phone (iPhone 12 pro), keys, ID, a stick of sunscreen, and other low-touch items in a jersey pocket and keeping them dry. The quality is great - zipper is perhaps a bit stiff because of the waterproofing, but doesn’t catch or jam or anything like that! Highly recommend. I honestly think I’m out the door faster on riding days because I have this little part of my out-the-door routine down.

If it's not broken ...
Really dissapointed that Rapha have chosen to stop making these cases out of leather. Doesnt feel as quality as they used to.

Gave up on plastic bags
I love it. I had been using a plastic bag and that was never working that well so I took the plunge and got one. It is fabulous. It looks good and has a small secure flap inside for cards or cash. Mine is a Galaxy S22Ultra. Unfortunately my phone is a whopping 6.8inches so it is a tight fit but I'm sure it will stretch slightly over time just a little to make it a better fit. So glad I got it and don't miss the plastic bag.

Perfect for iPhone Plus and some more
I'm happy with this case to keep my belongings dry. I've used to store my iPhone 8 Plus, money, credit cards, IDs, keys and there's room for some more. It fits perfectly in my jersey back pocket and the ring at the end of the zipper helps to pull it out easily. The Large case also fit a Topeak Micro Rocket pump (not with the phone in it) but if you want to use it just for tools and other esentials it will work well too.

Essentials Case IS Essential
I have carried an older, smaller fabric version of this case for several years. When we still had small phones, it was perfect, everything in one place. However, it wasn't water or sweat-proof, and...the new phone wasn't fitting. I love that this new case is bigger, but still fits in my jersey pocket. I also love that the fabric is firm and holds it shape. I like that my phone, card, ID, and cash are secure and DRY!

Love This Wallet!
This wallet is a great product. I used the smaller sized Rapha rainproof wallet for 2 years and upgraded to the larger size when I purchased a bigger phone. I love that it is rainproof and fits comfortably in my bike Jersey. It is very stylish and has very convenient pockets for cards and for cash (including a zipper pocket). I use this every time I ride. It keeps out sweat and heavy rain. I don't ride without it.

Beyond Essential.
I’ve loved every iteration and still enjoy the original leather one for small phones etc as well as it’s waterproof iteration. I’ve still got a small phone but couldn’t resist the bigger iteration. I’ve given maybe ten of these away as gifts over the years and all got ( and still do get) rave reviews. This little purse won’t ever let you down and you’ll be forever finding reasons to pack it along … bicycle or not.

Waterproof, great case, perfect size
Fits my iPhone 7+ in its Pelican case, credit and insurance cards, ID, house, mailbox and bike lock key when needed with room to spare. Been caught riding in a down pour a couple of times and this case proved itself waterproof in a Jersey pocket or top tube bag neither of which are. Not sure it would serve as a tool carrier for me but I see others use it that way. In any case I am very happy with the purchase.

Essential phone case Lge
Very convenient case, fits my iPhone 11 perfectly. Previously I used plastic/rubber phone sleeve and it was difficult to take the phone out, Rapha case solves that problem. After 1 month use and many rainy rides still waterproof. Handy inside pockets too esp. the one with zipper. Bang on the money compared to competition, so chose Rapha instead. First Rapha item and I’m sure it won’t be the last, great quality.

Rainproof Essentials Case-Large
At first I was suspect that this case would measure up. Typically lightweight zippered cases tear or come off track quite easily. Especially when navigating it around the corners of a Plus size smart phone and my car key. So far this case has been excellent. Only one month of use though. I’m hoping with reasonable care it will provide long lasting service. At least enough time to justify its cost.
