I believe in giving credit where credit is due. I searched and searched for a descent cell phone case that would provide protection and security for my phone. I actually went through 4 other cases before I found yours. Thank you for creating a case that will work for a working man. It is well crafted and thought out. The belt clip is strong and durable. The magnet holds strong. I never have to worry about it coming off of my belt and I never have to worry about my phone falling out. I will recommend this product to all of my colleagues.
Sinscerley, Jeremy

I greatly appreciate the products you sent me.  Since you sent two kits (led upgrade and IQ switch) I gave one of them away to another appreciative C-130 aircrew member.  I must tell you that your products are exemplary.  It is rare today that I find products that I'm truly impressed with but yours deliver in quality, workmanship, fit, finish, and performance.  My Mini-Maglite now is as it should have been from the factory.  It is about 5 times brighter and the IQ switch is just phenomenal!  I show it off every chance I get, and have yet to see anyone who is not impressed.  I always recommend they visit your website and check out your products. 

I initially expressed some concern over the red led in the IQ switch but have found as you instructed that it does not flash when the head of the light is tightened.  I also have noticed that it doesn't illuminate when I turn the head back a quarter turn to reactivate it until I have used the switch to turn it on.  This makes it acceptable for my use in the war zone, but I would still be very interested in a version without the led in the button (others have expressed the same desire.)  I know you offer another switch that doesn't have the led, but it also is just an on/off switch while the IQ is much more, but the feature I like the most about the IQ is that the button is recessed to prevent accidental activation (something else that is very bad in a war time environment.) 

Once again thank you very much for everything, I know that when I get home from Iraq I will be ordering the led upgrade and IQ switch for each of the Mini-Maglites I have at my house, and intend to use them as gifts for friends and family members as well.  If you ever want more information from me on how well the upgrades are holding up to use in the desert or how effective they are in a tactical environment or in aviation please feel free to ask and I will be more than happy to provide you with however detailed a description you would like.

The inka pen is a write-anywhere pen that always catches the eye of gadget-lovers whenever I pull it out. When closed, the pen is 3.15" long, with a stainless steel split ring for attaching to keys, bags, D-rings etc. It's O-ring sealed and watertight in this configuration. I have it attached to the neck lanyard of my ID badge for work, and have been using it every day for the past 8 months. My wife has one that she's attached to the outside of her bag, and found that other women have commented on it as well. It's the perfect companion for her Rite-in-the-rain notebook.

The main barrel of the pen is machined out of 304 stainless steel with a laser-engraved 'Inka' logo on it and a centerless ground finish. The carbon fiber 'Quick-use' pen is stored inside the barrel, and to use it, you simply pull it out. It's held securely inside with a viton O-ring that sits in a machined groove inside the stainless tube. Unscrewing the back endcap of the Quick-use pen reveals a yellow delrin PDA stylus for touch-screens. The Quick-use pen can be used as-is, or the stainless tube can be unscrewed from the split ring and the components assembled into a smart-looking full sized pen. It's funny to do that in meetings and have people pay more attention to what you're doing than listen to the meeting. 'Hey, let me see that thing - that's cool!' is the typical reaction.

Just a note to thank you for replacing my CPS-03-01. Nice to do business with a company that takes care of its customers. And fast too! Too many companies don't realize that it is easier to keep customers than to get them. On a lighter note, an old salesman told me one time that customers are like sheep........you can shear them for a lifetime but you can only skin them once! Must be why I have so much of your stuff!

"The products of yours that I have purchased have just been so useful and no fancy frills.  My feeling is, are you going to use it or look at it.  You make great products."
     -Dale H., Illinois

"I wanted to tell you how happy I am with my Nite-Ize pack. It's seen me through two wars, three employers (four, if you count my active duty and reserve times separately), and five multi-tools (over three different manufactures). What FINALLY killed my original one was my incessant tinkering; I kept making "little" modifications, and the old pack FINALLY gave up the ghost. The solution; I got another one, and made all the mods right away, rather than one at a time."

“I have been very satisfied with all of your products that I have purchased, and I'm sure that will continue to hold true."

 

Figure 9

"I'm a dedicated hammock camper and purchased 2 of your small figure 9 rops tighteners as a way to try to hang my rain fly faster when it started raining.  I've got to admit, I'm impressed and I don't impress easy.  What a wonderul idea you guys came up with, kudos to you!  I like my figure 9's so much, I've bought them for the ridgelines and guyouts of both my hammock tarps and have purchased plenty more for friends and family to use on their tents or wherever else they choose to put them.  My dad, in particular, was as equally impressed as I am.  Thanks again for making such a great, lightweight utilitarian product."

"The Figure 9 Rope Tightener by Nite Ize is the most cleverly designed tensioning device I've seen yet. Its flexible design works in several configurations to keep your cords secure."
-Backpacking Light® Magazine

"I recently purchased one of your Figure 9 mini products, through my father, at the outdoor retailers show in UT. I am an active outdoorsman and eagle scout and just wanted to say your product is one of the smartest developments to the market ever. I personally plan on purchasing many more Figure 9's in the future for tent guy lines and gear hauling on climbs."

Clip Case

"I love the horizontal leather cell phone holster (small)!  I work outside with horses, pigs and chickens.  I throw hay bales, 50# bags of feed AND THE PHONE STAYS ON MY BELT!!!"
       -David W., Louisiana

"I use the Niteize large cell phone carry case.  I learned of it through a friend who's always on the lookout new helpful accessories. I bought it at Lowe's in New Orleans pre-Katrina and it has not left my side.  It is much more durable than any other type of cell phone holder I have used.  I plan to also purchase your new LED flashlight bulb replacement."
       -Lynn F., Oregon

"THE BEST PHONE CASE EVER MADE! I lost a phone when in a case that had a swivel clip. I lost the new phone because it slipped out of my pocket at the movie theater. I went on the search for a case that wouldn't slip off my belt, protected my phone (I'm in the construction industry), and looked nice. I found the Clip Case Plus Universal case at a local computer retailer and I was shocked that I found what I'd been looking for and at a great price! I was willing to pay $25 or more for a case like this one. Thank you for making a truly great product."
       -G.Parnell, Texas

"The strength of the belt clip is awesome. I don't know how many cell phone holders I've destroyed; caught on the steering wheel getting in and out of the car. This one was bullet proof. Only downside is velco doesn't last. I recently bought the magnetic latch version and it will probably last years."

"I love it!!! It stays in place; stays shut while wearing it and phone never falls out. It is lightweight and not in the way of jackets and other equipment I wear on my belt. What else can I say...it's perfect! I work in a prison, and am a deputy, so I need a carrier I can depend on and this one works."

"I ordered knowing that Nite Ize made good products having used several of their products in the past. I could not be more pleased with the quality, construction, and utility of the Universal PDA clip case. I have my Ipaq, cell phone, blue tooth headset, and SD cards stored in the case and still have room. The case has multiple pockets that are useful for storing and carrying many items. The clip to hold this on your belt is excellent and very well made. I would recommend this case to all as a very utilitarian case for carrying electronic items."

"I've gone through so many phone holsters, I can't count them....this Nite Ize has outlasted the phone and on to the next. I'm a firefighter/EMT."
       -Greg S. - Illinois

"I believe that Nite Ize builds the most durable and useful cases that I have ever used. I have Nite Ize cases not only for my cell phone but also for my Pocket Pc. They are great. I won't buy any other brand.”

"I recently purchased one of your clip-on cell phone holsters.  I am impressed with your products rugged design and stitching. Definitely built to last.  I would be interested in a catalog of similar products for my crew members.  Thank you and keep up
the good work."
     -David H.

"Recently I purchased your small cell-phone holster. I would like to purchase more for friends and family...  The J-Clip is the most secure holster I have seen."
     -David P., Illinois

"Just bought your PDA holster.  I haven't been able to find a holster that would hold my PDA along with my phone that had a belt clip. All the others had a belt loop, too much trouble to take off when I get in my car, etc.  Anyway, thanks for a wonderful product."
     -Mark M

"I use one of your cell phone cases for my LG PM325 cell phone. Prior to your case I probably spent over $150 on cases and clips which kept breaking, after being caught on this or that. Great case! "

I purchased the product at lowes. I think you have the best clip on the market. I have had a few different types of phone cases and your product is the only one that stays clipped to my shorts and does not turn or come off my belt. I am very pleased with your product.”

"This case is great! For now I just use it for carrying my cell phone, but eventually plan on using some of the other pockets for carrying other things like my small flashlight."

"I was pleasantly surprised by how much I like this pouch. I had worn out a "rippoffs" pouch and I was afraid this one would not be as good. I have actually really liked the plastic clip. It doesn't destroy my belts the way a metal one would."

"I could not believe such a thing would exist. I use it every day. Extremely handy for any occasion. When I go out I can fit cell phone, keys, id, credit card and extra 40$."

"Very functional and useful item. The U-shape on the plastic clip really secures it to your belt, and the clip itself is made of a very sturdy plastic. There is also space for a small pen, a handy extra."

"This phone case is extremely useful - it stays on through all sorts of motion, and keeps the phone in place throughout. It is typically hard to judge the size of your cell phone without getting a ruler (which I did) and I was surprised to see that my Motorola MPX200 fit in the small case."


Flashflight

"I have a 2-cell AA Mag light that I have had for 20 years & I brought an L.E.D upgrade kit for last December of 06. It is the 2-pin 3-light l.e.d & I use it both at home & work where I am a commerical building maint. man. This afternoon I dropped it from atop a 6' stepladder onto a hard concrete floor & I simply picked up the flashlight & the l.e.d.'s were still on, shinning bright. And by the way I also have a Nite Ize Spare power hollster that I have had since 99 & I just purchased the l.e.d. upgrade module for my 2-cell "D" Mag light this past weekend on 07/07/07 at a Wal-Mart in Colby, KS. So all I can say is I "LOVE" your products & look foward to seeing an l.e.d. upgrade for the Solitaire Mag key ring flashlight. Thanks for your really "COOL" products."

"The Flashflight is awesome. It is the best flying <disc> I've ever owned. I've had a blast with it. I plan to order the red and green one next. Thanks for making my life so much fun."
     -Wright W., Alabama

"As well as outstanding night time visuals, this disc has great feel, weight and balance - a genuine flyer.  And there's more - It's water resistant and floats.  Discology is particularly mad on disc golf and this disc means we don't have to stop when the sun goes down, disc frenzy 24-7.  We've also furnished the Discology's chill out room with Flashflights (wall mounted) and we also use them for serving pistachios."
     -Richard S., England, Managing Director, Discology

"Found out about you one really fun night in Venice, CA - we were outside on a friend's patio, and one of our friends said something to the effect of, "hey, I have a glow in the dark Frisbee." I figured it was one of those old school ones that doesn't work, but when I saw his I was amazed. Next thing I knew we were down on the beach at 1:00 in in the morning having a phenomenal game of night disc set against a vacant beach, clear night sky, and the crashing surf. A night to remember - needless to say, I bought my own as soon as I could find out where to get one. A great product - thanks!"

"Hey you guys, Congrats on your Flashflight lighted disc product...really. I can't think of a more notable disc sport product of the last thirty years or so, aside from the disc golf pole hole. I really think this disc will go a long long ways in capturing the imagination of young throwers. I can just imagine youngsters using them as night lights in these last days of Summer 2004.  As a friend, Marty G., visiting from Sitka AK said this past weekend...."Wow, they finally did it. This is a great disc."  I hope sales are soaring."
     -Peter M., Midwest Disc Sports Collection, Columbia, MO

"I've been playing competitive disc sports for over 25 years now, and I've tried a number of lighted discs.  Until now, they've always disappointed me because they don't fly as well as my normal discs.  Flashflight is the exception.  It seems perfectly balanced, feels great in my hands for throwing and catching, and it has an awesome flight path - really stable.  It's always in my disc bag now - I've already played at night on the field, in the snow and in the desert... yeeeeeehaaaa!"
     -Larry I., Evergreen, CO, 11-time World Champion, Open Division - Pro Disc Freestyle

The Flashflight is really cool. It flies like a regular saucer from the original creator. Most excellent quality. Tell Nite Ize, "Eight thumbs up from a dad and his three teenage sons."
     -Bob K.

"I've thrown the Flashflight with teammates after evening practices and with friends in the backyard.  At all ranges (short to long) the mechanics of throwing this disc are really similar to those used when throwing a 175g ultimate disc.  This is sweet because you can throw all the same throws with this disc that you would (or would like to) in an ultimate game.  And hucks, hammers, scoobers, and even high-flicks all have a little different look when throwing with a lighted disc.  The disc is not only easy to see in the dark, but it's fun to watch while it flies.  It seems to be pretty durable too when it comes to throwing rollers, which also looks pretty cool with a lighted disc.  Easy to throw and catch, and interesting to watch.  Pretty simple and pretty fun."
     -Will D. - Boulder, CO, Johnny Bravo (Captain), UPA Championship Director

"Priceless fun:  I bought this on a whim from a local store. At the store, it was hard to tell how bright the frisbee really was. But once it gets dark, this thing glows BRIGHT! I got the red one. The first time I used it was with some friends playing Ultimate Frisbee on a pitch black night. It flies like a regular frisbee and has good solid feel to it. It was pure fun. We played for hours. Since it is lit up by an LED, the battery will last for hours. Mine is still working after many hours of use. I highly recommend it."

"Cleverly named, well crafted:  I picked up one of these flying discs just a couple of weeks ago. I have a green one, but they are available in red, blue, and multicolors as well. It's a well made American product---which makes this disc an easy choice over the competition---that flies straight and does not hurt to catch (at least with the hand). After a few missed catches, a few collisions with trees, and landing in the road, the Flashfligh never blinked. It seems sturdy, unlike some other light-up discs that didn't last through a weekend. The LED makes it easy to spot without being distracting, so catching the disc is easy and finding it, not a matter to be taken lightly during a late evening endeavor, is effortless (as long as the light is turned on)."

"Way too much fun:  Our first evening out, we had no idea that this disc could give us such pleasure. We ran, laughed and played for hours. Now we schedule our night time raves in the park! I'm amazed at the abuse our discs have taken and they keep flying. It fun to have all the colors in the air at once. Great product and more fun than you can imagine!"


Hip Pock-Its

"I work in the Shipping and Receiving Department at my workplace. I am in a position that requires me to be versatile in the jobs that are expected from me. I do not have the luxury of walking back and forth to retrieve my tools. So when I had discovered your various (Pock-Its) Products, I was really happy that I found a product that fits the (tool holding description) that is just right for me.
Especially your (Mini Pock-Its). I just love them! Thank you so much for making a product that fits perfect and really works. What ever you do, don't change a thing. It's perfect!"
       -Rob R. - Pennsylvania

"Very well constructed. I use it to carry small tools and it is excellent for this purpose."


Grip N' Clip

"I am a Scenes of Crime Officer in the United kingdom.  I have been using a Grip N' Clip cover for the past three months on my CrimeLite torch. Not only has your product protected my torch from wear and tear it has added a much needed belt hook to the torch. Whilst at crime scenes, I have my hands free to examine evidence without having to put my torch down in the crime scene, reducing the possibility of contamination of the scene (and my torch). There have not been many items I have purchased during my career that have been so useful. Thank You for a smart idea and very useful addition to my kit."
       -David B. - England


L.E.D. Upgrade Conversion Kit

"I brag your products up shamelessly. For example, recently I recommended your red LED conversion for the AA MiniMag to a friend who is into amateur astronomy. Beyond the increased battery life, he appreciates that it preserves his low-light vision and is much brighter than the standard filament bulbs which makes reading his charts and notes easier. He likes it so much he's spreading the word to his colleagues! Finally, I want you to know that it's a pleasure to support your products; they do exactly what you say they'll do. As I mentioned I have some experience with electronics and have built LED flashlight-bulb replacement units from plans available over the internet but they never satisfied as well as your products do."
       -Mark F., Phoenix, AZ

"I have purchased several MagLite L.E.D. conversion kits for my self and other people at Walmart. I am fascinated with the excellent quality of your products. I recently purchased the swivel MagLite belt clip and it is far better than advertised. I love it. As a matter of fact, I am going to order another one tonight. I would recommend the products on this site to anyone. They are amazing and customer service is great. I thank you for backing what you sell. If anyone is looking for top quality conversion and accessories you probably didn't even know existed, I encourage you to buy these products. They are great."
       -Larry H. - North Carolina
 

"I bought an LED conversion kit for my AA Mag light and I think this is the "CATS MEOW"
       -Buck V. - Kentucky

"I put the L.E.D. upgrade in my mini mag and it's unbelievable. I would like to be able to purchase ones for my larger mag lights."
       -Billy O. - Texas


Safety Markers

"I ride my bicycles in early morning hrs like 2am and the police have told me they can see me a long way off."

"I bought [the Clip-On Marker] for my son to clip on his backpack so he can be seen better in the dark. I like the way it can be flashing or just a reflector. It's very light, and not fragile."


Pock-Its

"I purchased my first Pock-Its somewhere in the mid 1980's. It served me until the late 1990's. I am about to replace number two. I am in Building Maintenance. I use your product to carry a miniflash light, a thermometer, a 4in1 screwdriver and a Leatherman tool. I use your pouch at least 5 days a week. I have been pleased with the durability. "

Dennis M. - Iowa

"This is the second equipment holster of this type I have owned. The first one took seven years to degrade to the point of being unserviceable. It is well made and very rugged, it also cleans up easily. I use this holster four days a week for twelve hour shifts. Being a paramedic I rely on the equipment I work with to work well and be trouble free. I have used other holsters over the years and have found this brand to be the best, most reliable and easiest to use. It has survived crawling into wrecked cars, burnt out buildings and high angle rescue."

"I recently replaced a Pock-Its that I've been using for 5 years of DAILY use. I use it to hold a Gerber Multi-Tool, Mini Maglite, pen, and hemostats. The Pock-Its products help make my daily job as a networking specialist, information systems director in a health care facility a lot easier."
     -Gregory R
., Missouri

Hip Pock-Its: "I bought this for my husband to keep track of his Palm pilot, cell phone, drawing pads, etc. He's a recreational handyman, and finds this meets the need quite nicely. Carries everything he needs with easy access."


Sport Case

I love the way it hooks on my belt, it does not come off. It is nice and compact. I can't think of anything bad to say about it.”

"This is one of the most handy phone cases I've seen! It keeps my phone safe while I'm out biking in the woods, and it's fashionable enough to take to work with me! I suggest this holster to anyone with a cell phone and needs a practical way to keep it safe!"


Stand-Up Holsters

"Howdy!  I am submerged in the urge to tell you what a boss line of stuff you have!!!  A couple of years ago, after replacing cheesy looking vinyl cell phone pouches, or cheaply-made plastic clips (good idea; I bet you could make a better one!) every six months or so, I decided to search for a better solution... found your website, and managed to pick up a Wireless Workstation.  I LOVE IT!!!  Why? It securely fastens the phone to my bod...if the phone drops to the floor, it's only because I've taken a dive!  It's bullet-proof! I own two...one, I wear everyday for work...it's over two years old,  and the other, I save for nicer, mostly casual occasions.  I love the groovy accessories you have thoughtfully incorporated into the design...credit card/Alexander Hamilton pouch, pencil sleeve, Swiss Army knife sleeve, flashlight sleeve.  It looks ORGANIZED!  Thanks for a great solution!"
     -Greg G., Great Bend, KS

"I bought this item for my husband who is a paramedic. He is generally rough on things and in his occupation he finds himself in all sorts of awkward positions and environments. This phone case has handled rough wear and he is very pleased with its functionality. Most importantly, it fits over those thick public safety leather belts and the snap closure is so much more secure than the more common clips. I would recommend them to anyone in public safety. The only drawback is that the component that makes it able to stand up is kind of stiff and may in the beginning want to unsnap the back. Our solution was to just bend the thing the opposite direction so it had a tendancy to go towards the snap instead. THIS ITEM GETS AN A+++."

"This is the second case I have purchased, I needed to replace my old one due to a new phone. It provides added security for those whoa re hard on electronics. I was breaking my phone about every 3-4 months. Now since I purchased this case I have not broken a phone. It has now been 2 years. I figure I have saved at least $200. Thank you."
