Janji 7" Traverse Shorts. Review

I saw another review for a different short from this brand, but really like the way these fit and the fact that they bragged about having a zippered pocket large enough for the biggest phone.  Figured it would be worth the shot, and maybe I would just cut out the lining (That's what the other reviewer suggested for the other shorts from this company). Don't get me wrong, these are really great shorts, but they are not shorts for running in!

Seams= Bad

Too many seams in bad spots.

I should have known better when looking at the seams, that it would cause chaffing.  I did wash them before running in them and I also wore them for a regular workout.  Sorry Janji, those burn.

Awesome pocket

Zipper, with a tether.
I did try putting a shoe in there, maybe if I was a size 8?

So the big reason why I like you shorts, it's a zipper pocket.  I have an extra large phone, a Google Pixel, OtterBox case.. it's always hard for me to find something to carry my phone in.  I can fit my phone and eight gels in the pocket.   Really want to do shorts to be good for running.
