As much as we love our crossbody bags and work totes, it can be a chore to shlep all of that stuff around. After all, you probably only need your phone, credit cards and a bit of cash, more times than not, anyways.

Enter the solution to the problem we’re seeing en masse: phone crossbody cases. They differ from traditional phone cases in that they have a wristlet-style strap and sit more vertically than traditional purses.

Not to mention, you can find a variety of crossbody phone bags online — for every budget, too. Some of our top picks hail from Amazon, while others are from COACH, Kate Spade New York, Tory Burch and more.

Whether you’re looking for sought-after vegan leather or are interested in an accessory that offers that pop of color you can't help but turn to, we have you covered with our hottest picks.

What's great about the Baggallini Take Two RFID Bryant Crossbody is its impressive wealth of colors, fabrics and pattern varieties. That said, it's the perfect phone crossbody to suit your preference.

This top-rated accessory boasts more than 1,000 rave reviews, is lightweight to take with you when you’re on-the-go and is water-resistant, ensuring it’ll hold up well.

We can't help but adore Nautica's Catalina Vegan Leather RFID Crossbody Phone Purse. For just $20, snag this petite phone holder that comes in a few other colors and makes that ‘wallet on a string’ design look so good.

As one of the most sought-after phone crossbody bags on the market, the COACH Signature Canvas Phone Crossbody is one to buy as a gift for yourself or a loved one. Notably, it features its years-loved print, has devoted space for two credit card slots and a helpful outside pocket to easily access your phone.

Perfect for the lover of classic yet girly style, the Kate Spade New York Knott North South Phone Crossbody is one of our favorites, much ado to its stunning chain detailing, sky blue colorway (though it comes in others) and — the star of the show — beautiful center knot for a chic accent. We’re adding it to our wishlists, too.

Do you love all things Tory Burch — from its coveted Miller Patent Leather Sandals ($198) to its gleaming Mini Miller Crossbody Bag ($298)? Well, Miller just gained a new BFF with the designer's Miller Phone Crossbody — a smooth-to-the-touch option offered in both brown and black, with a gold-embossed logo to complete the look.

The lululemon Easy Access Crossbody Bag leans more on the full-on purse end than the petite phone purse but it's compact enough to be one of the brand's latest (and newest) hits. Perfect for men and women, its water-repellent fabric comes in handy when hiking and its two-way zipper makes it simple to easily grab your essentials.

Much like the best designer clutch bags we rounded up, phone crossbody bags can be as luxurious as you’d like. Dior's Lady Dior Phone Holder is a splurge — but well worth the buy if you detest lugging large bags and want a chic, well-made, designer-fledging option to flaunt. Yes, please.

Simple and ideal for those who cater to the sporty or casual style, CALIA's Neo Essentials Only Crossbody is just $30 and is a surefire dupe for the Prada accessory that's way, way more. Plus, we love its secure fit that's a testament to a true cross-body design.

We never thought we’d like a white accessory so much, but then we met the Aimee Kestenberg Chit Chat Leather Phone Crossbody Bag. Cute name aside, its saddle-front fit makes it look like the rest of the purses in your wardrobe — but more convenient, thanks to its miniature phone-carrying style. Plus, it features an exterior zip pocket and four credit card slots.

As the originator of the phone crossbody, Bandolier has a bag for everyone — with every color and style imaginable. The Donna Slide Slot Crossbody is likely the slimmest on this list but doesn't compromise quality. With a snap closure exterior pocket, it's your phone case, but better.

Step things up a notch in the phone crossbody department with a personalized option from Etsy. Thanks to Etsy shop TrueMomentosGifts, you can completely personalize the color, name and font. Hello, great gift idea (that's also extremely well-made and thoughtful).

Ideal for the minimalist who's on the hunt for good quality, Leatherology's Mini Willow Crossbody is one of your best bets. Though more of a splurge than others on this list, it features two interior card slots and plenty of alluring, neutral-leaning shades to select from.

If you have the iPhone 13, you need this case. It comes in a variety of colors, is the easiest to swing around and carry and has a zippered pocket to store your ID, credit cards and other easy-grabs. For less than $35, we recommend it fully.
