FEATURES
The Ranger iPhone Holster can accommodate these iPhone models
Those magnets are so strong. Pleasantly surprised.
I have Ranger case in 2021 for my iPhone 12 Max. Now I have another Ranger case for my iPhone 17 Max. My iPhone with PITAKA Aramid Proguard case can still sit properly in the case, but has no more room to place ear buds in its external pocket. If the flap fidlock has a bit elongated may provide more room for the phone.
finally the holster i've been looking for. fits great and looks even better. keep up the nice designing and manufacture.
The new case model did not increase the height of the case to accommodate the slightly taller 17 Pro Max, so the fit is a bit too snug. Otherwise great product.
Very solid phone case well built and functional. Please do not stop making had one for several years. Bought another one this time during the limited release please continue to make. If you have an iPhone, and like to carry your phone on your belt purchase one you will not be sorry.

Using the right kind of magnets is an elegant way to make sure the holster doesn't fall off.
"Smells Great! Looks Great! Smart Design! I love the Magnet belt loop. It holds nice and tight and allows me to easily clip it to my coat zipper, backpack strap, belt loop, pocket etc. The enclosure is easy to connect and disconnect. It can be opened and closed one handed." - Carl K., Ogden, US

“I got my Ranger Case in June (2020). I was in Colorado wilderness area and traveled about 20 miles of windy road to the next city. And to my awe, relief, and amazement was my Ranger Case still attached, with my phone inside, to the side of my SUV (I have this habit of hanging the case off my car when camping)! I didn't think anything of it since my phone still connected to my Bluetooth. But dang! That magnet is strong!” - Benjamin C., Texas, USA"
The authentic, full-grain leather we use to make the Ranger iPhone Holster is absolutely beautiful. See it, touch it, and you're hooked.
The distressed leather develops a beautiful patina, and your bag will age well as the years roll by.
We usually recommend leaving the full-grain leather of your Ranger iPhone Holster as is and allowing it to develop its own beautiful patina. However, if you’d like to freshen it up from time to time, you can use a leather conditioner — Gary demonstrates how in this video for the Cozmo Leather Briefcase.
Because the leather may darken slightly, first test the conditioner on a discreet area like the bottom of the bag. You can also use a hair dryer to warm the leather’s natural oils so they smooth and spread evenly.
We're proud to offer American-made gear built for the long haul. All our products are designed and made in our San Francisco workshop, where rent is high, labor expensive, and competition intense. We wouldn't go anywhere else.
