Bison,

By: LRRPParky
"IPhone 4 with protective case fits snugly. Zipper pocket holds money clip/credit card holder. Filson double bull hide belt fits in loops. Cell phone cover locks firmly with a distinctive loud click."

"Much bigger than I thought it would be. Storage compartment behind the phone slot makes it too bulky."

iphone 5 holster,

By: Russ1
"Excellent quality; needs to be a bit wider for easier fit when phone is in a protective case. I would also like to see a similar version without the zipper pouch."

Better photos,
February 26, 2013
By: Carnol
"It is not apparent how far the holster will stick out from the angle of the photo. It could be considered a small fanny pack. Looks great and good quality but awkward to have on your waist as it catches on everything and gets in your way. I would like it if it was 3/4" thinner."

Large & Bulky,
February 4, 2013
By: DRK01
from Braintree, MA
"The basic principle of having a zippered compartment with the compartment for the phone is good, yet it makes this item become very bulky as a result. More versatile would be a detachable space. A Leather item is durable and may need to be replaced only rarely."

Bison Cell Phone Holster,
February 4, 2013
By: FarmerDave
from Ellijay, Georgia
"Looks good and well made. Plenty of room for i-phone with protective cover. It doesn't get in the way when I am driving which is a real positive feature. I have had several inquiries as to where I got it."

iPhone does not fit,

By: Joeschmo

"Even though I measured my IPhone 4 before purchasing, the stated catolog measurements where for the products overall size, and not the much smaller phone pocket size. Wish my phone would have fit because product was very nice."

Heavy duty leather phone case,
February 4, 2013
By: artus4art
from Stalybridge UK
"Loved the quality of the leather and the back zip pocket. Fits my iPhone 4 perfectly. Got used to the size now and wear it on my belt. At least I know it won't fall off like lesser phone cases."

Useful and convenient,
January 23, 2013
By: Flyonwall
from San Antonio, Texas
"The wallet takes away the need to carry your wallet and separate holster for your phone. No more sitting on a wallet, or having your holster fall off your belt. Yes, it is a little bulky, but this fact should not detour your decision to purchase this item. The functionality, style, and durability are enough give you satisfaction in this purchase."

Good product,
January 19, 2013
By: SatisfiedinSC
from Columbia, SC
"Thought a little more costly than an average i-phone holder, it is worth it. It is good looking and very accessible. There is nothing to break. You just slide a belt through the openings in the back of the holder. Easy to open and pull out your phone."

Nice product,
January 19, 2013
By: gregk
from CA
"The case is great and secure, the stiching on the belt loop is starting to loosen.
They need a product in black; with the same leather texturefor the I Phone without the zippered pouch for business man in suits. The pouch makes it a little to thick to go under a suit or dress jacket."

great idea not practable,
January 19, 2013
By: faja
from Hilton Head SC
"good concept but too thick, sticks out too far and not wide enough for newest phone which are more than 5 inches long. would return but lost return slip. So as long as I stay with current apple 4s it fits. But still not confortable to wear, useless when wearing a sports jacket."

"The phone is easy to get out and the additional pocket hold anything else you might want to carry. The leather is sturdy and tough, I wear it while hunting and it holds up great. This is a great product."

Too bulky,
January 12, 2013
By: SAPDA
from Houston, Texas
"When I saw this in the catalogue, I said, :aha, finally a well constructed, good-looking phone case that did not have a spring-clip that would eventually break." At first I was intrigued with the zipper pocket behind the case and I liked the ease with which the cover came off the phone yet remained securely closed the rest of the time. Over the next few days, I wore the case, it was uncomfortable because of its bulk. Make this case without the zipper pocket behind it and you have a winner"

"I recommend this product as it is really a good quality for the price. However, I want to mention that it is a little bit bulky and could have been better without the zipped pouch"

Great Smartphone Holster,
January 2, 2013
By: DADanford
from Memphis TN
"I hate to have items in my pockets and this holster gives me the extra room to carry other items like my wallet or blood testing supplies or any item that I might need when I do not want to carry a larger bag that I use to carry the above items as well as my ipad and other electronics. very soft and functional."
