Holster smartphone cases aren't always sexy, but they'll allow you to keep your phone close by without having to take up space in your pocket or handbag — perfect for those who need to go hands-free in the field. This type of case is also great protection if you are rough on phones. These are high-quality holster cases that offer both protection and hands-free convenience.
Look at that style
Featuring a pattern design, this holster case from Aduro offers a rubberized texture that makes it easier to grip. Included is a built-in kickstand for hands-free viewing in both horizontal and vertical angles.
Flying high
The Falcon full-body case offers full 360-degree protection by providing a shock-resistant bumper and drop-in tempered glass screen protector. Use the secure-fit companion holster when necessary; otherwise, show off the back of your phone.
Use with a regular case
Made from genuine leather, this holster with a belt clip will also work with iPhone Plus models. Better still, it can accommodate most single- and dual-layer cases of up to 0.55-inches in thickness. In other words, it's perhaps the most flexible holster case on this list.
For peace of mind
Featuring a hard, polycarbonate exterior and a flexible, shock-absorbing TPU core, this case provides the protection you need from every day falls. The built-in screen protector defends against scratches and cracks, and the belt clip holster is detachable.
Unique look
If you're looking for something a little bit different, consider this case by Zizo, which is offered in 10 different color combinations. Featuring a built-in kickstand for hands-free use, this case ships with a Glass Screen Protector too.
Rugged and practical
Finally, there's this rugged case, which includes a detachable belt clip swivel and is compatible with wireless charging and Apple Pay. It features dual-layer polycarbonate and TPU for ultimate protection.
