Phone Purchases

[MrMold666]

Just curious, but how many of you have bought phones based on the size of the phone compartment in the Bagger and TC? I'm pretty sure that since I bought my bagger, that will be a deciding factor in the future.

I have a google pixel 9 pro and without my case it already fit. I have since purchased a very thin case that still works. Any larger phone is starting to get to big to carry in my pocket.

My Pixel Fold just fits. (It's a little bit on the thick side, but still works). I was just curious if now having a Bagger or TC now directly affects phone purchase choice.

If my phone did not fit, I would probably seriously consider finding something that did. I like that I do not have to hang my phone on the handle bar.

My only issue now is I am not willing to pay BMW $35 or more for a $2 usb cable so I make a cable I have work even though it makes my phone sit at a slight angle in the compartment. lol

For those looking for a USB cable that fits perfectly. I bought this cable for my Iphone with a USB C connection.

I had an iPhone 8+ that fit without a case. I purchased a new iPhone this year and carefully checked the specifications prior to selecting the iPhone 17. The 17 fits my TC with a thin case. Although, I would have purchased the same phone even if I didn’t have a TC because of its price and features. The iPhone air is even thinner but you lose some camera features and it’s more expensive.

My iPhone 14 Plus fits in nicely without a case, no issues; but to answer the original question: yes, I will check the size when I buy my next phone to make sure it will fit. However, I don't actually like having the phone in the TC's phone compartment. If I loose cell coverage or connectivity its a right pain having the phone tucked away. I know, its a first world problem but I want to be able to choose as needs require. So I have, literally today, just put a phone mount onto the handle bar.

I definitely check the phone dimensions prior to purchasing... I currently have a PIXEL 9 and use the below pictured USB-C cable(s) that I purchased off Amazon as a pack of 3 for around $15 USD:

I ended up not using a new cable, but just getting adaptors for the firewire that came with my bike. I didn't think about just putting the phone in upside down. Nice work around.
My phone bay is filthy......geeze. I need to detail this bike now that I own it.

I use the compartment to store stuff . It was pretty cumbersome for using it with my phone. I have rockform handlebar mounts and case for my phone and just added one to this bike. 3 Bikes, one E-bicycle, and one Segway scooter, all have the rockform mounts.
