Velcro my legs, why don'tcha!       rating

I generally love the concept of a forward-mounted carrying case for my bike, but this one is just a little too flimsy and a little too scratchy for the cockpit on my bike. I am using it on a Cervelo S1 (Size 54) and it won't sit properly on the frame. (It hangs to one side.) The velcro also comes undone and catches occasionally on my shorts while I am riding, which is kind of annoying. There's also the problem with any type of carrier like this: It's basically right in the middle of where all of your sweat falls while you're on a long ride, so it can get kind of wet. I wouldn't keep my phone or anything else in there that could be damaged. Which kind of defeats the purpose. Finally -- and especially if you're riding an aluminum or steel frame: If you put keys or anything metal in there, it will clank on the frame the entire ride. It's incredibly annoying. It may be OK for tubes and perhaps a snack, but don't even THINK about putting CO2 in there. But other than that, I guess it's OK for under $20.

The large Bento Box is perfect for easy recovery of cell phone or to have a small camera ready to take photos as you cycle. Love this product. Thank you.

I bought two of these. One has held up OK for at least half a dozen uses. The second one started falling apart on the third ride. The stitching that attaches the velcro on the side of the box has pulled up almost entirely. We tried super glue to hold it back down, but it didn't hold. So, we've got a bento box that doesn't have a usable mesh cover on the top.

This handy little bag is perfect for my chapstick, phone, camera, and hand sanitizer, and a baggie of dried fruits & nuts. It is perfect! It fits my phone and camera side-by-side perfectly with everything else underneath. Everything is at my fingertips instead of under my seat. Buy one and you will LOVE it!
