Looking for iPhone X case - does Rapha Essentials case fit?
I am looking for a simple bag or wallet style case to carry my iPhone X, a credit card and some cash. It looks like a Rapha Essentials Case could just fit. It is advertised to fit iPhone 6 but not 6 Plus, and the 15cm length just about equals the length of X in a minimalistic case.

Anyone has direct experience? Other suggestions?

The LARGE rainproof essentials case fits my 7+ that also has a thin plastic case around it.

iPhone X is only a tiny bit bigger then an iPhone 6. iPhone 6+, 7+ and 8+ are much bigger than the X.

True, but simple math suggests that X either barely fits or not at all. I guess I can order one and find out, but hoping somebody has both and they know the answer!

Failing that, what are people using for iPhone X?

The long version is 180mm. https://bellroy.com/products/all-con.../black#image-0

I have one of these in the smaller version and it's very nice IMO.

The lightweight essentials just fits a 6 with speck case. Or two 6’s without cases.

Not much room for anything else.

I'll third this. The Bellroy pouch is awesome! I use it on all my rides and it fits some cash, cards, and a phone in a slim case perfectly. It's thin enough not to take up an entire pocket, and you can pretty easily unzip the top and pull out your phone to take some pics while riding if that's your thing.

Ziplock bag over here. Still lets you take photos and read messages without the hassle.

i just keep my 7 in the back pocket, no case, it's waterproof after all. i have a glass screen protector and an aluminum skin for it, that's it.

its much easier and more ready to whip out and take cool pics without having to unzip something and get to it.
