I ordered a couple B11 pants along with this pair due to having to carry two phones for work. They both fit quite well in the side pocket - of the B11, not these as it turns out. The reinforcing includes a rivit on the side pocket that only my Blu S5 will fit in, leaving my S8 Active to hunt for another home. My EDC is such that all other pockets carry things that could hurt my phone. Otherwise these pants are every bit as good as the B11s! I may break down and drill out this confound rivit.
