Posted: Sat Oct 07, 2017 5:56 pm Post subject: Bladerunner phone holster. Interest? |
|
|
Guys,
I had an idea to make a Bladerunner phone holster.
It would use the exact same materials as my replica Deckard holsters: Specially dyed full grain cowhide, hand stitched, etc.
I would follow all the design cues from the blaster holster, so it would have a version of the curved spring pocket on the front (no internal spring, naturally), a version of the Safariland style belt loop on the back.
Stitched around three sides, open at the top.
I hope to have a prototype done end of tomorrow.
Would anyone be interested in these if I make them?

This sounds awesome. I keep my phone in my pocket, but would probably pick one up for fun anyway. Cool idea! |

Hi Karl
Totally forgot you were producing holsters. Please could you PM me with details?
Unsure about the phone holster but a 1:1 scale version is still missing from my collection.
Cheers!

So, here we are with a fresh first prototype of the Bladerunner phone case.
As you can see, I drew on many of the original holster's design cues.

Thoughts?

Veektohr,
It will largely depend on the numbers in the run/s. If we get enough interest, I can get some economy of scale going.
We need to nail down which models/sizes to make for, of course.
Bearing in mind these will be entirely hand made and hand stitched, I think USD$75 to USD$85 a piece.
Somewhere around there. Could be a bit cheaper per unit, if we had a lot of interest.

So, let's start an interest list!
If it's something that appeals, chime in with your name and phone model. Nothing concrete at the moment, there's still a lot to discuss, just a show of hands.

Hmmm...
I had thought there might be more interest in this idea.
No comments or thoughts from anyone else? |

Hi Karl,
I've lurked here long enough so I thought now would be as good a time as any to make my first post.
I'd be interested in one if the design can accommodate an older, 'non-smart' phone.

Hi Stuart!
Good to see you here.
Well, I'll stick you on the list.

I think many people are confused on what this is supposed to be.

Really?
It's a phone case for your belt, designed to look like the Bladerunner blaster holster.
I say in the very first post that it's a Bladerunner phone holster....

A fun idea, but, for my part, I'm not a phone wearer, and my discretionary funds are engaged elsewhere.
Best of luck. |

You don't need to explain why you don't want one, it's fine
I'll still put ideas up here when they strike me, see what people think.
This one I thought would get more interest.
But you can just never tell.
If anyone does feel the urge to get one, email me:
