Vera Bradley Cell phone or mini hipster?

[disneymomto5]

I need a little bag to carry my phone around the ship (have to be able to keep in contact with my wandering kids), and I wanted something small that wouldn't have to be hand held. Does anyone have the Vera Bradley cell phone cross body or the mini hipster? My phone is larger (5 3/4 x 3 1/4) so I'm not sure the cell phone one will work but that's definitely smaller. Any suggestions between the 2?

Here's a really good video with a Disney Vera Bradley Mini Hipster

And one for the phone crossbody

I'd go with a mini-hipster. Then you're hands are free to wrangle kids! Also, I have an iPhone 6 and it doesn't fit in the Vera Bradley cell phone wristlets.

I got the Vera Disney cell phone carrier with a long strap from the Disney store in MCO before on our Fantasy cruise and it was fantastic. I am currently using it as my everyday "bag" at home since all I carry with me is my iPhone, a couple of credit cards and a few dollars. It is so convenient!

I got the mini hipster for my Magic cruise to Europe last year. Best purchase ever!

Between those two I would go with the Mini Hipster

If you are interested in a wristlet the VB Your Turn Smartphone Wristlet works great with the larger phones. I have an iPhone 6 plus and it fits perfectly. I can also fit my key card, lip balm and mini compact mirror in it. I have it in the classic black, it doubles as a nice evening bag for the dressier evenings.

I have both the mini hipster and the cell phone cross body. The cross body does not hold much so depending on what you want to carry, you would be limited. I could only fit my iPhone5C, and my license/CC/etc. I had a hard time putting my reading glasses in after my phone was in the case - very tight fit.

The mini hipster will hold much more and still be hands free. I could fit my phone, glasses, small tissues, folded poncho, chapstick and small aspirin container. I used that my last Disney trip and loved it.

If you haven't seen them in person, I recommend going to a store that carries them both and compare. I ordered the cross body online and didn't realize how small it actually was.

Thank you all the replies are helpful. The videos actually helped a lot. I don't know what to get, I'll have to order them because I want the Disney ones, so maybe I'll try to get to a store and try them out first. Decisions, decisions....
