Uncle Mike's PDA/Cell Phone Style Conceal Carry Case Holster, Black

Good quality pouch but, unfortunately would not fit my phone. My own fault for not verifying the dimensions.

I bought two, one for work, other for out in public. I have only used it to carry a 380. Have never been questioned about what's in my pouch.

I needed a strong pouch to securely carry my smart phone on a 2" webbed belt for outdoor activities like hiking and outdoor photography excursions. This fits the bill. It has a strong plastic clip on the back that fits the 2" belt perfectly. The pouch itself seems to be made of ballistic nylon, which is much more secure than the more stylish (and expensive) pouches that are advertised for carrying smart phones. I have a DROID, which is about the same size as an iPhone; this pouch is the perfect size, holding the phone securely but not so snug that I can't easily get it out of the pouch. It's not weatherproof, because the flap doesn't completely seal the top of the pouch when closed, but I don't plan on getting out in a downpour so it's not much of an issue for me. I guess the upside of the small openings at the top is that should I wish to route an earbud from the phone there's a ready-made opening for the cord. It's a pretty small pouch, which is what I wanted, but I can see how it might be difficult to get a weapon in and out of this easily.

Ordered this primarily because of the low price, and to compare with a similar product from Bulldog. Bulldog is the original factory concealed carry (pda style) holster for the Taurus PT 738 .380 compact pistol. After trying out the Uncle Mike's version, I'll stick with the Bulldog. The Uncle Mike's is pretty well made, but it's dimensionally incorrect for the Taurus PT 738. It's long enough, but from top to bottom, it doesn't close well, and it doesn't completely conceal the firearm. There is a notable lack of the access holes on the bottom which the Bulldog has (facilitates removal by allowing you to push the firearm upwards from the holster from the bottom). Also, the Velcro which secures the flap is quite noisy when you open the holster, versus the quiet magnetic snaps on the Bulldog. For my money, the Bulldog is a much better buy for the Taurus PT 738. I'll keep the Uncle Mike's, and use it for something, but probably not for concealed carry of a firearm. UPDATE: Found a use. Fits my Garmin GPS perfectly!!!!!

This case/holster is exactly as the dimensions say. It is VERY stiff, and it will expand the thickness to about 1 inch if stuffed (The material that comprises the "thickness" part of the case is a bit elastic - and will stretch from about 3/4 inch to around 1 1/4 inches). The stiff edging takes up about 1/4 inch all the way around the height and width. The inner dimensions when stuffed, is 3.25 inch high, 5.25 inch wide, and about 1inch thick. There are NO belt loops, only a metal belt clip in the back center, and you can fiddle around with it to remove it (it is slid onto a vertical "belt" loop and can be removed). This mounting system, along with the stiffness of the stiff edging, means it will NOT easily conform to the curve of the belt around your waist. I guess that's good for a holster, but it WILL stick out a bit. I am NOT using it as a holster, but rather to hold some odds and ends that make my pockets too bulky (Cough drops, pill cases, antacids, etc.) and I think I will sew in 2 belt loops near the edges to keep it more stable and closer to the contour along my belt. It is definitely very well made. The flap is held closed with a strong strip of velcro, so if you are using it as a holster, forget about a "silent" draw. I am giving this 5 stars, as it is very functional as a holster, just not a carry-all.

I really wanted to love this and use it for CC, but it is smaller than advertised and it does not even fit my Apple 12 cell phone to be used as a cell phone carrier. Very disappointed.

As someone else has noted the original pattern Ruger LCP easily fits this holster. Since I'm an OFWG (old fat white guy) I my body shape works best with an LCP and an outside-the-pants holster. I thought about a Sneaky Pete style holster but felt that it too readily said "gun". This little black fabric holster simply doesn't look at all like it contains a gun. This PDA style holster is not only unobtrusive, the black fabric says "PDA" and not "gun". The holster flap is held in place with a strong velcro strip. Initially, I found this to be troublesome, but found that with a little tweaking you'll a have holster that provides instant access. Here's what you can do: Initially, I'd decided that since the holster flap easily held its shape, I would simply cover the velcro with duct tape. Further examination with the LCP placed inside the holster showed that the holster flap only engaged about 1/3 of the velcro material. This allows me to have easy one hand access to my handgun. Either of these tweaks will give you easy access to you gun when you need it. The final tweak involves actually fitting the holster to your gun-belt. After several tries, i found the holster's spring clip to be annoyingly stiff. it is much easier to simply remove your belt from a couple of loops and thread it through the spring clip. Doing this allows you to easily position the holster exactly where you want it to sit. Since my usual attire is a pocket-tee and a blue denim work-shirt this handy little holster is almost invisible yet, with these minor tweaks, it still provides me with the kind of instant access to my little LCP I'll need in an emergency. Highly recommended.

Well made. Barely big enough to hold my Ruger lcp 380.
