I have been unable to use cross-body purses or backpacks due to a shoulder injury.  I do a lot of active things and really need something that will carry a few things and stay out of my way.  Realizing that I was entering dorky territory, I purchased a fanny pack.  I am actually very pleased with this one.  The colors (I got "crochet") make it look cooler than expected.  It lays fairly close to the body.  It is pretty small - just the right size to carry a few essentials.  I carried a wallet (the size of a large business-card case), a handkerchief, keys, Carmex, earbuds, and a travel lotion.  It was fairly full.  I put my iPhone in the front pocket.  It was a tight squeeze the first time, but once I got the hang of it, I could get it in and out without trouble.  The zipper pulls are a bit loud, but either I got used to it or...well, I probably just got used to it.  I may just keep using this pack after the shoulder heals!
