 Multi Pock-its Utility Holster w/ clip By: Pock-its Average Rating: 5.0 Total Reviews: 1 More Information Perfect for what it was designed for, and then some  On: 2005-12-17Nite Ize started out as a company that specilized in accessories for the Mini Maglite, and since I myself own several such lights which Nite Ize products have imrpoved and customized to whatever I may use them for. Their LED adapter alone could bring an old Mag back to life or retrofit an economic flashlight for enhanced performance. But one part of Nite Ize I never went near was their extensive line of hosters for phones and tools, and lights of course. These have a large following in the outdoors and hunting public. I already had a holster for every little tool I have, so I felt that kind of thing was overkill. But when my newly beloved Leatherman Waves case proved to be a complete joke, I needed something to protect it. This is when I fell in love with this particular multi-holster, which soon replaced close to four individual clips and sheaths, and bought me quite a bit of pocket space for only fifteen bucks. For starters, dont follow the boxs picture to a science. They say to keep the phone or whatever you use in the main section, under the flap with all the other tools. I have a flip phone, which is small enough that it can fit in the little front pocket they slapped on for earpieces, and thanks to the double-velco snap I can choose to cover it with the flap or have it exposed for quick-draws, all while the tools are tucked out of sight. Better than the (Somehow...extremely expensive) plastic clip I got from the phone supplier. Funny thing, this case was shown on the package holding my exact tools. A Mini Mag, and a Leatherman, even though you could easily fit any type of tool or light within reason. It fits my Wave perfectly, and even has a slot for the bit-kit many Leatherman-owners insist on toting with their knives. The flashlight band fits the Mag very well, with the lid cut away on that side for easy access. Inside, in a series of easy-access but hidden pockets inside the sheath. There is a thin interior sleeve you could keep cards, cash, bandaids, tylenol, anything with a thin profile in the back of the case. There is also thinner band designed for a pen or PDA stylus, but it fits a pen-sized micro-light I carry just as well. The main compartment, if you dont have a flip phone that goes in the front pocket, can fit any handheld device from GPS trackers to walkie talkies. Although any type or size of cell phone will also fit. If you felt the need, you could put your spare keys, credit cards, maybe even cash and ID in this thing instead of a wallet, but mine is more tool-based. Currently, it contained an accessory-covered Mini Mag, a set of filters and a larnyard for the light, a micro-light, bandaids and two tylenol in the back sleeve, my Leatherman Wave, its Bit Kit, a spare set of keys and since my phone is in the earpiece pocket I can fit my leather-coccooned iPod Nano with headphones in the main sheath where it will be most protected. Ive worn the case with a belt, clipped into beltless jeans and khakis, hooked on a backpack waist-belt, and Ive even hooked it onto the accessory slots of my Tamrac camera bags on photo trips, this thing can go wherever theres something to clip. The easy-on clip STAYS on, but you can get it off easily if you twist it off instead of pulling. I havent tried any other Nite Ize cases, Ive heard they hold considerably more gadgets. But for an urban living/outdoors loving keyboard surfer like myself, its truly ideal. Only flaw? It only comes in black. All of the other Nite Ize cases come in at least four colors, and often different shades of camoflauge for hunters. Id buy the black model even if they did offer all that, but not everyone is like me. Pick one up, and put whatever the heck you want in it, let this compact yet bottomless holster grow into your personality. |
