Top tube bag with durable or no zippers
I'm referring to the smallish sort that attach to the top tube and stem. I get six months to a year of use before the zippers inevitably fail.
And I don't overstuff them, I put only my phone, keys, and wallet in them.
Anyone have recommendations? It should fit a 6in phone.

how rough are you yanking on your zipper?
I've used amazon's choice suggested stuff & other than fade or just wanting a new look, I've not had one fail.

Topeak Tri Bag, has a couple models that have no zippers. Main compartment covered by mesh, velcro flap, side mesh flap. One style they come in has a rain fly that fits over the whole top. When not in use, it tucks into a side pocket. I have one of those and would not get that model again. I do really like the others without the fly. They come in a couple of different sizes. Amazon has a large selection of various top tube bags.

If you need bigger, Revelate Mag Tank is a great bag, has a very well thought out magnetic latch, I was actually surprised how well designed this is. The bag is also tapered to be narrow in the rear where your legs might hit it.
