Any chance that you would have some patterns available? /dwight So far I'm finishing up my third holster, all three are different sizes because phones are diffent in width and thickness so I've had to just make a different pattern for each one. Each tongue would need to be adjusted to different size also. I can take a picture of my pattern so you can get an idea how I made it? 4 hours ago, DwightT said: I'm not sure how well it would work for cell signals, but Rocky Mountain Leather Supply has some RFID Blocking fabric that might be worth looking at for this: https://www.rmleathersupply.com/products/rfid-blocking-thin-fabric-0-1-mm-self-adhesive-back?_pos=1&_psq=RFID&_ss=e&_v=1.0 /dwight That's perfect, thanks.

Don’t know if that’ll make any difference for you, now that you have a fantastic belt holster for it. Even the back pocket is too close to the testies maybe an ankle holster? Quote

In terms of plain old distance, the hip holster wouldn’t be much farther away physically. I wonder why it being out of the pocket makes a difference. Quote

From the report I watched, the leather ads a degree of supression. Same with store purchased holsters, the material helps greatly. Your right though, even the hip is prolly too close, the testies are mostly fluid and they get hit hard by RF ions, whaterver they call it. Thats why im thinking about metal sheeting or mesh sandwitched between the layers between me and my phone. Im sure in ten years we'll find out that something else weve done all our life is going to kill us but hey, who wants to live forever? My fathers cancer started in his testies and it spred through his body FAST!! Quote

My fathers cancer started in his testies and it spred through his body FAST!! I remember hearing about the dangers of cellphone radiation a number of years ago, but then the subject seemed to disappear. Interestingly enough, I was just thinking about it again the other day. Probably a year ago or so, there was some murmuring over the move to 5G networks and their corresponding greater power that would seem to bring along more intense RF radiation, but I haven’t heard anything else about it. Seems there’s a research project in there. I suspect lots of things may be slowly killing us, in ways we don’t understand. This is probably one of them. So maybe I need to go make myself a cell phone holster to inhibit my ever-constant cellular companion’s effects. (The assistant manager of my local Tandy carries his phone in a case attached to the front of his belt, but I suspect that’s more about keeping stuff out of his pockets than anything else.)

Members Thadrick Posted May 5, 2024 Author Members Report Posted May 5, 2024 I've always carried my phone in my left pocket and since I haven't been, my leg feels weird like a "cool feeling". I think their is something to it? Quote

They just announced the availability of the mesh less than a week ago. If it went that quickly I'm sure they will be bringing in some more, so you might want to keep checking back. /dwight Quote
