    I just don't like things bouncing around in my sporran as I walk - never have. My (flat, slim and trim) iPhone is either in my hand, or put into my interior jacket pocket where I barely notice it and an unsightly bulge is non-existent. Car keys and other items are kept in my wife's purse where she has PLENTY of room!

    Thanks for that info DK ! I was actually looking around at their belts when I found this cell phone pouch . I plan to have a belt made by them . I've heard positive comments on their work , however , your comments seal the deal !

    I carry everything in my sporran, usually... wallet, keys, phone, camera, business cards. It's a big roomy sporran. I don't like things in my jacket pockets and I usually don't wear a waistcoat.

    At a Games competing with the Pipe Band it's different, as the band wears waistcoats and the band sporran isn't as roomy. In band kit, then, I'll put phone and camera in waistcoat pockets.

    Any sort of pouch which fits on a Dirk Belt is useless to me, because I almost never wear a Dirk Belt... only in military style dress, when I'm wearing a dirk.

    I carry things in my sporran. After all, that's what it's for. I also make use of my pockets when I have them although I prefer not to use the side pockets on the outside of my jacket for anything more than a few business cards as weight disturbs the fall of the fabric and I find large bulges unsightly.

    In fact, one of the reasons I've never purchased a hair sporran even though I find them quite handsome is because they are typically seriously lacking in storage capacity.

    In my sporran, I carry keys, a reduced thin wallet (just the essentials, leave the customer loyalty cards home), a bill fold with money clip, a small change purse and my cell phone.

    I also move the phone to the inside pocket of my jacket when I'm wearing one, especially on occasions where I need to create room for my flask.

    I would wear my waist belt if I wasn't wearing a waistcoat. I personally don't like the look of the naked top of a kilt as I find it unfinished. When dressing super casually, I leave my shirt untucked and forgo the belt. That's just my taste as I know there is plenty of precedent for dressing this way.

    While on those rare occasions that I would be wearing my kilt with just shirtsleeves and no jacket or waistcoat, such a piece may be useful to free up space in my sporran, but given the rate of change of cell phone technology, I wouldn't want to pay too much for a bespoke leather item that may be obsolete in a year and a half when our phones are in our glasses.

    That pretty much sums up my use of a sporran as well with the exception that I do not like the look of an untucked shirt. To me it looks a bit too casual. Perhaps with a utilikilt it could work.
