Selecting Among a Hoslter or Pouch for A Cell Phone

By Gareth Jale


Holsters and pouches offer the perfect way of carrying and protecting your smart phone. The only problem with holsters and pouches is that you have to remove the phone from that accessory in order to be able to use it. With protective cases you do not encounter this problem.

When you want to purchase a holster or a pouch, you need to understand what you are looking for. Some of the things to look for are the type of belt clips and the material that the item is made from. This will help you in deciding what accessory is ideal for you. When you are buying a holster or a pouch, make sure that it has inner linings so as to keep your phone safe from any kind of scratches. If you are checking pouches, most of the time you would find that they don't have these inner linings, resulting in scratches on the screen as well as the shell of your phone.

Some of the different materials that holsters are made from are plastic, leather, neoprene, nylon and hydrofoam. Leather holsters also provide a significant amount of protection for your mobile phone. Generally, they are fitted with a spring-enabled belt clip which can be ratcheting or stationary. If you need instant access to your smart phone, you should choose plastic holsters. These also have a spring-enabled spring that provides easy access to your device. Even though this type of holster doesn't offer much protection, it does provide an easy way to carry your phone.

You can also find these holsters with rubberized plastic material that offers additional cushioning to protect your smart phone. If you are seeking a holster that can be very durable, then you probably want one made from hydrofoam. They also have an inner, protective lining that protects the phone from scratches. The robustness of these types of holsters is what provides the sufficient protection that the mobile phone needs.

Generally, the design of these holsters consists of two pieces of hydrofoam that get attached with elastic, allowing the phone to fall into its place easily. Another durable option in your hand is the nylon holster. When your phone is going to be used in extreme environments, you should consider buying these accessories. Neoprene is a type of material that is great for absorbing shock and is even better for protecting the phone from all types of impact. Neoprene holsters are great because they even protect the smart phone against drops or accidental damage. This material is also water resistant, thus protecting your phone from getting wet. In addition to the material, pouches and holsters can also be bought with different types of belt clips. Some of the most popular types of belt clips are either add-on clips, spring-loaded and racheting belt clips.

Overall, you are better off using a case or a holster rather than using a pouch. These accessories come in many different styles and colors which leaves the door wide open for customization and personalization. A screen protectors will also protect the screen of the phone when it is placed within the pouch or holster.
