Vera Bradley Smartphone Wristlet


Finally the Smartphone Wristlet! An updated version of the Phone Wristlet. There are some major improvements with this. For starters, and probably most importantly, there is a compartment large enough to fit your phone with the case. More specifically an iPhone with an Otterbox! Imagine my elation when I saw that it would be debuting in a couple of weeks (of course after I had already placed an order for other things). As you can see in the picture, the Otterbox fits like a glove. I really have to hand it to the team at VB. It's amazing how it fits just perfectly, not too tight or loose. This is held secure with a fold over, snap closure. Very secure. It also has a zip around section with a zippered part inside for change and three card slots. Behind these slots is a place to put bills and just behind that is where you insert your ID to show throw the plastic window through to the outside. That's really nifty; often times the pocket for it has a way to the outside. Lastly there is a partially detachable wrist strap that I like to hook my keys onto. I used it for the first time last night and found it to be very handy. I was surprised at how well the strap actually stayed on my wrist. I think it will be great for taking to work.   

As for the pattern, I must say that when I first saw the new Fall 2012 patterns, I was not really impressed. I don't know what happened but that seemed to change very quickly ( I guess they grew on me). Va Va Bloom struck me as so practical, with it's multi-colored blooms and neutral black background. It is truly a versatile pattern. I wear a lot of solid colored tops in brights/pastels and it can literally go with everything I have. I'm really liking Paisley Meets Plaid now too. Maybe I will have to get something in that pattern as well.
