Top tube bag with phone window recommendations

[veloduffer]

Looking for recommendations for a top tube bag with a window in which you can use your phone to navigate. I searched through older threads but none of the bags had a phone window. Thanks in advance.

I have this. It just fits my iPhone 5S.
I don't recommend it or others though.

If it's wide enough to hold even a smaller phone then it's too wide and will rub against your legs when out of the saddle.

I even have the Apidura racing top tube bag which is only as wide as my top tube but it still rubs a bit cuz of the added height.

Thanks Veloo - I didn’t think about knee rub. Looks like I’ll have to get a phone mount for the handlebars or stem.

I'd be really wary of sticking the phone in there on a sunny day. I have a Swift Paloma bag and stuck my phone in the top window. When I went to pull the phone out, the phone was in some sort of shut down mode b/c it was too hot. Luckily the phone was fine after it cooled off. I don't use that window pocket for my phone anymore.
