What I'm looking for is a magazine holder, hopefully a paddle type, with a cell phone holster attached to it. I don't like carrying any more than I have to, and a multi use holster would be great.
Anyone know of anything like this around?

Contact Dave at LittleBear..I'm sure he can build one for you, or advise where to get one...

It is cheaper to get a $10 carrier from lowes and a $25 mag carrier than to have someone build you one custom. Unless they stock it, so to speak.
I would charge you at least $60 plus shipping because I would have to have a mock up of the phone, to scale, out of wood or fiberglass, unless I already have it and build a proto to ensure it works.

Have you tried to Google it???? There has to be someone in the leather community making it.
I think Little Feather makes some unique stuff... that or Brigade Gunleather.
Just a thought.

Nah. I can't reinvent the wheel because there are SO many phones and you were gracious enough to create a mock up for me.
I think there would be too much opinion on how it should function for each individual, and in the long run, it wouldn't be financially sound, on my end and the customers.
I will build them, but they can't be cheap. Hence my statement. I mean no offense, just stating in these times, I don't have the cash to pay someone to create something that isn't available; though it is in seperate pieces.

Example: customer wanted a mag, light, knife (fixed blade) IWB/OWB. I gave him the price and it was 3 figures. sorry..... I had to draw it. Then get the knife somehow. Order some kydex as a welt for the blade. Build a scale mock up. Send it to the customer for trials and then after changes/approval, get it back and build the actual. That is alot of time, money and shipping.
I am sure KMAN and others have had similar requests and the price wasn't worth it, in the end.

Most people get a new phone every time they renew their service plan. You would own a beautiful holster built to last a life time but the chances of always having a phone that would still be useable with it would be slim-to-none.

That's a good point. And Little Bear, I completely understand, and I know that something custom costs money, I'm an artist (using that term loosely) and I get that it gets expensive.

What I'm thinking now is probably a paddle magazine holster, and then just sew some velcro to it, and attach the phone case to it that way. And when it comes time to change phones, I can make another phone case and velcro it to the holster.
Also a leather generic holster that is of relative size for a smart phone would work out.
Anyway, think I'll try to throw something together myself was just wondering if something like this was already around.

I use a holster for a leathermen and it works perfectly for my S&W Sigma spare magazine. You can find them on ebay for about $10 or sometimes at a pawn shop. The ones with a metal clip are a little harder to find, though, but might work for what you want. The reason I like it is so that if someone sees it they don't give it a second thought, especially if you have your shirt tucked in. For me, concealment is a BIG priority.
