Small pockets

They fit and feel awesome. They have two open side pockets and one extra zip up pocket. The pockets are too small to hold an iPhone let alone anything else important.

Shallow pockets

Bought these shorts in 2 colors for my husband for his birthday as I’ve recently gotten him onto the Zella brand. He enjoys the fit and comfort of Zella shorts, but this particular style he says the pockets are too shallow for his iPhone and every time he sits down his phone falls out of the pocket.
