There’s some extra room in it for your cell phone or wallet, too.

ehhh… I thought that was what Camelbacks were for 😉 Not the best fashion statement possible, but still handy.

…but you so don’t want to put your credit/debit cards (if in your wallet) in one of these. Magnets are being found to effect some cellphones / smartphones as well.
