That way, I had space for my grocery cards, loyalty/bonus cards, gift cards, etc. I put two pockets on the back -- one for bills and one for receipts (which I used to just drop in the bottom of my purse). I used velcro because I didn't want to use a magnetic clasp, which can screw up the strip on your credit cards. I also put a mesh pocket on the back of one of the zipper pockets, but it made the seams very bulky on that pocket, so I didn't put it on the other two. The back pocket is big enough to hold my phone.

One thing I am thinking about is putting small "D" rings on the sides so that I could put a strap on it. The main question is where. Or I might put a sleeve on the inside into which I could insert a bar with connectors on each side.
