anybody have a good saddle bag to carry a spare tubular tire in? I'm thinking about carrying the smallest track tubular I can.

Hate to admit I have a larger side bag, like the Lezyne Medium one, about .6l. Problem is, what do you guys do with your cell phone? Don't say your jersey either. I don't get how anybody, especially in FL, puts one in their jersey with the sweat etc...has to be nearly on the verge of ruining your cell phone with salty sweat in your pocket. I need something that will hold a cell phone, iphone 6 size, co2, multi tool, tube or Vittoria latex can and a few minor bits/kits etc... Mine currently is kind of tall top/bottom, but really need wide/length in a sense.
I don't like anything in my jersey except a gel pack or snot rag either. I like a tighter jersey and the weight of stuff in my pockets annoys me as well.
Just something that is ideal for a cell phone, yet carries the standard stuff tube, levers, multi tool, vittoria fix flat when on tubulars instead of a tube, plus a few minor bits like keys?

I carry my cellphone inside a tiny zipbag on my back pocket in case of an occasional rain while riding, much less bulge than putting inside of a saddlebag to be honest
My phone just goes straight in my jersey pocket without a bag and it still survives British winters alright, it is waterproof though...
Otherwise arundel duo works great for me too.

Just throwing this out there but I've started to make/sell saddle bags -- http://imgur.com/a/d3ndD (prototypes)
* $25-30
* Lighter than any other bag (20g for a version that can hold a micropump)
* Waterproof
* Custom sized
* Roughly two order/delivery (made-to-order)
I've sold 7 of them to a fellow WW and if you're also interested shoot me a PM...Trying to keep the "pitch" brief so I don't hijack your thread.

Another consideration in seat pack choice is if you can use it with the Ass Saver. The Ass Saver is the ingenious idea from a Swedish company to make a short fender out of polypropylene. It clips to the saddle rails and block the road spray. http://ass-savers.com/

Recently tried the Arundel Tubi. I could never get a spare Vittoria 23 tube to fit. They are way too tight in my opinion.
Hmm interesting. I say this in the nicest way possible, but maybe you need to reassess your folding technique? A Vittoria Corsa Evo CX 23mm fits in snugly with plenty of room to spare.
