I tried something different this weekend on a long ride. I used a small bag like this to carry my cell phone and some power bars.

But I put in back against my seatpost instead of up by the handlebar.
Storage matters to me because I do a lot of self supported rides around 100 miles. Jersey pockets are full of water bottles, and a handheld GPS usually. Large saddle bag full of tubes, tools, lock, bananas, etc.

looigi, I loathe having things attached to my bike, car, house, etc. I think everything should be clean, free of clutter, and devoid of any distractions. I don't do stickers, dash mats, add on anything... call me crazy, but I view a seat bag as a distraction from a beautiful bike and clutter that's in the way. I'm surprised I carry one at all, but I just can't train myself to remember to bring everything I need and having it on the bike at all times ensures I'll never be without a spare tube. Since I hate them so much, the smallest one I can get away with is the one I'll ride with.

This is one solution, I started using the Lezyne Caddy Sack, I put everything in there (tube, levers, multi-tool, CO2, patch kit, house key) and YES I also get my phone along with cash, ID, and credit card. The point is you can get rid of the seat bag and put this in your middle jersey pocket. THe main items are always in the sack all you need to remember is to pick it up and add phone, ID, Money and Key. Just saying...

Not really, it is just a cleaner more elegant solution IMO. Made of a rubberized material pretty sturdy, they call it "PVC fabrics", has water resistant zipper, and it is just the right size to fit in the jersey. Keeps everything clean and organized. Works well for me.
