In an innovative design change from boring cell phone cases and holsters, Rivet Wraps are open on both ends; you slide your phone in and clip the Wrap to your belt loop, your handbag, or whatever you want. I've been using one for a few weeks now; initially I was nervous that my phone would slide out accidentally, but it stays put. Then when I want to use it, I can slide it out easily. I have my phone clipped to a strap on my purse, and it sure beats digging around in the dark depths to find it. I like the styles, too: Simple and classy.

While you're at Rivet's site, check out some of its other products; I like the Rivet system that lets you clip and unclip your gadgets to lanyards, belts, car dashboards... handy.

The Rivet Wraps come in two styles, Leather and Sport (shown at left) and a variety of colorways, for $24.99 each.
