This is a very entertaining and educational article, giving insights into the methods used by thiefs to try and get access to your phone data.

I don’t like Apple but it’s great that their security is so good when it comes to this.

    I use a fanny pack at large events.

    Many have hidden zippers for wallet and phone, and its in front of you so its hard to steal from.

      Thanks, phone theft is rampant in nightclubs as well and would be great to solve for the pocket problem.

      Do like these guys (who I think spend a lot of money on marketing):

        I got a cheap one from Amazon.

        A key thing a look for are those little nylon pulls on the zipper handles. You can always add them to a zipper as well.

        You can loop the pulls through each other to make it harder to open a zipper. I do this for backpacks since they’re behind me. This is more of a deterrent than a lock though.

        I’ll send a pic after work to describe it. (Although there are actual products but I am cheap).
