I mean, this is a absurdly priced solution, but that's a fair point.

It's stupid fashion's that way. I always thought that when I saw girls sticking phones in their shorts waistbands or whatever.

We should go back to the future:

Or even better, improve it:

And have shorts like that too? I dunno, I'm not a fashion expert, but still.

I mean, I like the Lara Croft thigh holster route, but that might chafe.

And if you're wearing it the way the male model is, you can probably add an outer shirt or jacket and wear it like an underarm money belt in less-secure environments. I have one of those that I repurposed for carrying a tablet. Looks very similar to this, though not the same brand or type of fabric:

Kind of like a very thin purse with a padded, short strap that's intended to optionally hide under one's clothes.

You don't need something that large to carry a phone, though. The sort of smaller thing that they're doing here is big enough for that.

Yeah, utility belt/sling over bags!

The thigh holsters seem a bit impractical though. If we're diving into more fiction fashion, how about the pocketed Normandy crew uniform from ME?

I like those little built-in squares on the thighs.
