Although resembling something better suited for carrying around a gun, the 'Phonster' is actually a hand-made accessory holder made by Ukrainian leather goods manufacturer AGE. Made from premium genuine leather, the Phonster is perfectly designed for carrying around essential items like keys, wallets and especially smartphones that seem to always be increasing in size and becoming more difficult to fit into a pocket. This leather holster fits over your back and comes with two easy-to-access cases for both your phone and wallet. Easy-to-use pull tabs help to remove your gear from the holster, and each also comes with an additional pocket for keys, cards or anything else you'd rather not carry around in your pockets. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Phone Holster Industry:** Increasing demand for phone holsters and smartphone accessories creates opportunities for innovative design and functionality. - **Leather Goods Manufacturing:** Innovative solutions like Phonster offer opportunities for manufacturers to offer unique and specialized products, rather than competing in crowded general leather goods markets. - **Hands-free Technology:** Hands-free technology and accessories are becoming increasingly important as people require their devices to be more mobile and accessible. ### Where This Applies - **Smartphone Accessories:** The Phonster holster caters to the growing market of smartphone accessories, represented in companies like Otterbox and Spigen. - **Men's Fashion:** The Phonster is disrupting men's fashion by re-defining how men carry their belongings; companies that move beyond traditional messenger bags and backpacks could find success. - **Outdoor Gear:** The hands-free functionality of the Phonster could disrupt the outdoor gear market, providing a way to carry gear without the need for cumbersome bags on hikes or outdoor activities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adjustable Phone Straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-sling.md) - [Leather Taco Holsters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-bellt.md) - [Knitted Phone Pockets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-pocket.md) - [Knife-Paired EDC Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knyphe-phone-case.md) - [Smartphone-Charging Smart Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartphonecharging-smart-wallets.md) - [MagSafe Leather Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-iphone-case.md) - [Wrist-Worn Smartphone Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/match-phone-holder.md) - [Hospitality-Focused Pos Leather Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genuine-leather-case.md) - [Clutch Purse Smartphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honor-v-purse.md)
