Measure the items you will actually carry

Use the phone with its normal case, camera protrusion and any attached grip. Measure the passport with its sleeve if you use one. Record the longest side, second side and thickness of both objects.

A different phone case or passport wallet is a different test configuration. A photo of an uncased phone inside a bag does not establish fit for your own thicker combination.

Separate an exterior-size screen from a load test

An external length, width and depth can rule out obviously unsuitable shapes, but cannot establish usable pocket dimensions. Seams, lining, padding, dividers and a narrow zipper opening take space away.

The selected Bellroy and Norevix listings provide exterior specifications and describe pockets. CarryFacts has not yet performed a combined phone-and-passport closure test on those products. Their phone-plus-passport result therefore stays unknown.

Test the shared load in the intended pockets

Place both objects in the intended positions at the same time. Close every relevant fastener through its full travel using normal effort. Check whether corners press against the zipper path or whether one object must be removed to reach the other.

  • Show the exact phone, case and passport cover in the load photo.
  • Record which pocket holds each item; an advertised pocket count is not a loading diagram.
  • Check full closure while worn as well as while the bag rests on a table.
  • Report interference, not just whether the objects can be pushed inside.

Report the result narrowly

A successful documented test establishes that the stated objects fit in the tested bag and arrangement. It does not automatically cover another phone, extra keys, a power bank or a different material variant.

When only the catalogue has been reviewed, unknown is the useful answer. It identifies the remaining measurement needed before a purchase decision.
