s

martphones have revolutionized how we gather information and communicate, but the downside to these

the chest and is specifically sewn to secure a smartphone with
a "return" that is sewn in the opening of the pocket. It will allow a phone to be placed inside the pocket, but won't release
it unless a hand lifts it over the return.
The pocket uses gravity to secure the phone, and the

wearers are leaning over or jogging. Because of this, Pocket
Lock Apparel's pockets are compatible with moisture-wicking
fabric intended for physical activity.
But the company didn't stop there. The pockets are designed
