for me it's the comfort/ability to put the thing in my pocket.

I can relate. I actually used to be jealous of the ladies because they always have a convenient purse to put things in. These days I wear a light weight cross-body “sling” bag, and i’m happy as a peach.

Easy way to bring my phone, sunglasses, wallet, keys, etc with me. Pockets can be pretty annoying.

Maybe 2027 will be the year of the mini? :)
