1. "Get rid of a bomb ..." What? Where did you get a 5 # or less bomb in a fantasy world? And who actually picks up a bomb and wrist flicks it instead of running away? Low tech bombs are generally heavy (stuff like mortar shells and barrels of gunpowder) if they're powerful. 2. "Transport a block of ice." Exactly why doesn't it melt? Either time moves on in the space and the block melts OR the bomb cannot be disposed of cause it comes out ticking at the same second it was on when it went in. 3. "Combine with a few other abilities to secretly move a body, ..." What, you're killing 5 poundsor less light weight folks or do you have a spare wizard who can cast and concentrate on a Reduce spell for the full time AND do so across dimensional barriers? It just isn't useful for heavy stuff cause you cannot keep the heavy stuff light (Reduce is also Concentration). 4. How do you hold an immovable rod and then "flick your wrist"? The bloody rod won't move while you hold it so wrist flicking seems sort of out for any immovable object that you hold. 5. Yay! This one actually works! 6. Alas, no. You just are NOT going to have enough 2nd level spells to be "the best...ever".
As to perfect thievery, it isn't undetectable. Detect magic will show your wrist as magical and if this spell exists, then others have used it, the guards know about it, and they lock your naked self up for an hour until the loot returns. Assuming they're nice and don't just punch you in the nose until your concentration breakes.
I'm not trying to say the spell is worthless, but it sure as Hades isn't a rope trick equivalent, extra-dimensional space creating or not.
It makes sense that it is a level 2 spell, because most level 2 spells aren't super powerful, most are just useful utility spells.
Dude , Invisibility is a second level spell. Invisibility .
If there is a primary limiting factor in wrist pocket it should be size, length, magical items, etc ... not concentration which is a very limiting factor. Perhaps exclude powerful magic items (anything beyond uncommon etc ... ) Also wristpocket is still subject to dispel magic and counterspell. It isn't overpowered without the concentration requirement but it is functionally useful again. Currently it is not going to make for surprises from the PCs which further the plot.

2. ice melts from heat flow not time progression alone. It is in an isolated pocket dimension, where would the heat come from?
3. A six foot tall average person occupies 11.25 feet cubed ( 6x1.5x1.25 ). A Handy Haversack holds a total of 12 cubic feet and weighs 5 lbs. Work out the details in your own sick imagination.

2. the extradimensional aspect of the spell is so undefined that you can assume it's the ambient temperature as the surrounding, very hot or very cold. Now time stopping, based on other spells and effects, isn't called out and the assumption would be that time continues as normal.
3. If you've already got a Handy Haversack and the time to fold/press/mutilate a body in. They why do you need wristpocket? Wrist pocket being an extradimensional space used on a Handy Haversack would rip a whole to the Astral Plane. If that's what you're going for sure. But seems like a complete waste of both the spell and the item.
Rope Trick doesn't require concentration and I don't think that concentration is a very sensible condition for hiding 5 lbs 'up your sleeve' for an hour.

Okay, so it's occassionally useful, however -
