if you're tired of smartphones and wallets taking up all your valuable pocket space and you don't mind the occasional double take on the street accessory maker LD West just might have the solution for you I'm Michael Fisher and while the LD West's original might be a little funky it's also one of the most innovative smart phone holsters I've ever seen let's check it out on pocket now right off the bat I want to say that the LD West holster isn't gonna be for everyone it's best worn under a jacket but when the summertime heat makes that impractical it's a pretty conspicuous accessory it's kind of intense it also places your two most valuable portable possessions your wallet and your smart phone outside your body in plain sight and exposed to the weather so this is probably more a wintertime companion to be shielded by a coat what you get in exchange for embracing the unconventional is convenience once you get used to drawing your smartphone like a detective's pistol it really is quicker than fishing around in a pocket especially when sitting LD west offers three colors and three different sizes to accommodate everything from an iPhone to a Galaxy Note and the adjustable suspenders mean you can carry that holster as close to or as far away from your torso as you like on the other side is a similar pouch containing well the best made wallet I've ever carried from the stitching to the fabric inlay to the stamped LD West branding it's so beautiful I don't even mind folding my American bills so they'll fit inside as with many wearables there's a definite learning curve to the LD West it takes time to learn how to get a detangled after it's been hung up for a night and it takes practice to avoid scratching up a fragile phone finish on the magnetic metal clasps that keep it secure but once you get the feel of it once you make it part of your routine you relish the empty pockets the holster enables and you regret it if you leave it at home will I wear one after this review period end I might wait until the autumn rolls around but I'll definitely be missing its convenience and craftsmanship in the meantime if you don't want to wait that long the LD west original holster is available right now at LD west comm and if you use the discount code and LD west summer in all caps like your shouting you'll get almost twenty bucks off just for watching this review for more mobile technology coverage from smartphones to tablets to wearables and beyond visit us at pocketnow.com and subscribe here on youtube also follow us on social media where we talk text and tweet but most importantly thanks very much for watching this has been michael fisher with PocketNow and we'll see you next time
