Storage Tips

When you're not wearing your iPhone Pocket, don't just toss it anywhere. Hang it on a hook or doorknob—the strap makes this easy. Or lay it flat in a drawer. Avoid crumpling it in a bag or leaving it on the floor where it can be stepped on. The pleated structure maintains its shape best when stored with minimal compression. If you have multiple pockets, hang them separately so they're not pressed together.

If you're storing your iPhone Pocket for extended periods (seasonal storage, travel, etc.), clean it first. Dirt and oils can set into fabric over time. Once clean and completely dry, fold it gently or roll it loosely. Store in a breathable fabric bag or drawer—avoid plastic bags that trap moisture. Keep it away from direct sunlight, which can fade colors over time. In proper storage, your iPhone Pocket will maintain its condition indefinitely.

The pleated structure is resilient but can be flattened by prolonged compression. Don't store heavy items on top of your iPhone Pocket. If you fold it for storage, don't fold along the same lines repeatedly—vary the fold pattern. Better yet, hang it or roll it loosely. If the pleats do flatten from storage, they'll usually spring back after a few hours of hanging or wearing. The 3D-knitted structure has memory.

If you own multiple iPhone Pockets, organize them for easy selection. Hang them on hooks by color family—neutrals together, brights together. Or use drawer dividers to keep them separated and visible. Some users keep their most-used colors accessible and store seasonal colors separately. Good organization means you'll actually use all your pockets rather than defaulting to the same one.

When packing for travel, the iPhone Pocket is incredibly space-efficient. Fold it flat or roll it—it takes up minimal luggage space. Pack it in your carry-on for easy access during travel. If you're bringing multiple colors, stack them flat or roll them together. They're so lightweight that bringing several adds no noticeable weight. Upon arrival, hang them to let any compression from packing release.

Store your iPhone Pocket in a dry environment. High humidity can lead to mildew on synthetic fabrics, especially if the pocket isn't completely dry after washing. If you live in a humid climate, ensure your storage area has good air circulation. Don't store it in damp basements or closed plastic containers. If you notice any musty smell, wash it and ensure it's completely dry before storing again.

The synthetic yarn isn't attractive to moths (unlike wool), but pets might find the strap interesting. Store your iPhone Pocket where pets can't reach it—cats especially might play with the dangling strap. If you have dogs that chew, keep it in a closed drawer. The material is durable but not indestructible. A few minutes of pet attention can damage the strap or fabric.
