Bodysuit Pouch/Pockets?

My fursuit character is a cat, but I need to carry my phone around at conventions at all times (health/safety issues) and I thought that maybe making a little pouch in the front would be a nifty idea?
Thing is, my body suit is plantigrade and my body type may not support it. (5'3" and 105lbs)

I purchased a little lanyard case incase this idea sounds dumb, but I was just wondering if it seemed like a good idea and how I'd do about doing it.

Thanks!
