iPhone Shoulder Holster Is Chuck Norris' Favourite Fashion Accessory
Posted by Jesus Diaz at 11:30 PM on November 14, 2008
Apparently created for police detectives, construction workers, or anyone with zero sense of fashion and/or shame, the e-Volve Gadget Shoulder Holster is just that: A shoulder holster which, according to the manufacturer, "is designed to evolve and adapt to the reality of constant state of change in personal electronics by enabling you to wear your present and future gadgets". Yes, it does all that. It has been engineered to "access your gadgets quickly," like if your iPhone was Chuck Norris' revolver. But make no fun of this, because this thing does it all:
Sheathing something as slick and pocketable as the iPhone in a holster feels wrong to me for many reasons, but this particular holster adds the handy ability to charge your drained batteries with its own rechargeable Li-ion battery back. It's good for one full charge before it needs to be recharged itself. Handy, and at US$25 the price is right, but this thing is huge. Product page says this only works with first-gen iPhones and iPod touch--but I don't see any reason why you couldn't squeeze a 3G in. [
Hooray, you can now buy Crocs for your mobile! Ok, so the Crocs "O-Dial" [sic] is actually a shoe-themed mobile holster, but it is official. Quite why your phone would enjoy the lightness, comfiness... um, waterproofness and stain-proofness of those lovely rubbery, resinous cayman shoes, we're not sure though. Oh — its got raised inside surfaces to protect device screens, and an adapter so you can use it to store credit cards? Ah yes, we understand now: it's a marketing thing. And yet, cunning Giz reader, what better uses could you put your croc holsters to?
Did you think cellphone holsters were going out of style? Think again, my friend. The Japanese have taken everything that was old and made it new again, and this time their Dirty Harry-style metallic cellphone holder will keep your cellphone safe from train gropers of all ages. Best of all, it's only $25, so you're wasting enough cash to feed a whole village of starving children for a month.
