Looking for a tank bag for a large phone.

It seems that most tank bags out there are made for iPhone's and other tiny phones. I carry a Samsung Note 3 and want a minimalistic type bag too. Something like this:

Does such a tank bag exist?

I use a Icon Tank bag that has a clear plastic storage area on the top of it for maps/phones/tablets whichever...you might consider something like it.

That Icon bag is massive though. I'm looking for something very small for only wallet, keys, and cell phone.

Thats a tablet not a phone bro!

It's a phablet! And a very nice one too! :grinning:

Minimal size...big enough to carry 3 things...Go naked and stow it in the hump. Unless your one of those riders that checks his/her phone at every traffic light.

I use my phone for music and GPS. So I would just need to have it handy for those things.

They make stem mounts that will hold a larger phone.

BigE had one on his bike, and I believe he was using it for GPS maps etc.
I would carry a ziplock baggie with me in case it rained - that is if you ride in the rain.

I have the little Givi tank lock bag. No worries on scratching the paint, etc. Just big enough for a phone, some gloves, glasses, etc.

Get a RAM mount

FYI: I gave up and ordered a case for just my phone. So far, so good. Fits like a glove, allows use of the screen, and stays put. My Garmin fits perfectly in it as well.

Now I plan to also get a large tank bag for when I need to carry more than a phone.

Another update:

I ended up buying a Joe Rocket Manta XL tank bag. I cut the stitching for the tiny phone holder on top to remove it and I paid a local seamstress $5 to permanently attach the Shark-Moto case on top. Wha-la! With a small amount of work, I now have exactly what I was looking for. :-) My Note 3 fits nicely inside and there's a little room to grow in case my next smartphone turns out to be a little larger yet.
