Bag for 11yo boy for phone

15 replies

Hi all

I need a small bag for an 11yo boy to carry his phone in. Any suggestions please, that aren't girly? Something small, discrete. Comfortable.

Thanks

I’ve been thinking the same thing, DS is also a shorts wearer and so rarely has pockets big enough for the phone.
He’s quite…different. He wouldn’t like the typical JD type bags as above, although I see a lot of kids his age with them. I was thinking almost an army type thing like a utility belt? But I could be way off and he might think that’s very uncool! DH has a camo bumbag he has for dog walks but I don’t think DS would go for that Grin

Thank you. It's not bad, but not quite what I think he'd like. But what, I don't quite know!

Yes, exact same. Always in shorts and a t-shirt. Avoids coats if he can help it. Though even his coat doesn't really have zipped or deep pockets to keep his phone safe. I use an untrendy bum bag, it's super practical, but not really cool enough for this kid.

My DS has something like this - they come in lots of different brands, style and price points.

I'd second this. Super popular with the kids around here

Ds(17) didnt like bags so every pair of joggers or shorts we got him had to have a zipped pocket for his phone 🤣

Or maybe a hip bag. Ds said lots of kids were using them at TRNSMT this year

It is, but imo looks much better than the small rectangular ones that just look odd to me. But then again I'm 52 and not a teenager!!!!!
