When selecting the perfect leather badge holder, consider the functionality and style that works for you. We understand that people who carry badges have personal preferences for badge holders, and that's why all our leather accessories are custom-cut to fit any Smith & Warren badge. In this blog, we'll explore the various categories of leather accessories available, from badge & ID cases to badge holders, helping you make the right choice for your needs.
Badge & ID Cases:
One of the most popular items among law enforcement professionals, badge & ID cases offer style and functionality. With options for single or double ID cases and different badge case folds like book fold, notebook fold, or flip-out badge ID cases, you can pick from the various options that appeal to you. You will see that models are also differentiated by ID, or credential, size.
Quick Tip: If you need quick access to your badge and ID, consider a flip-out badge & ID case. This allows you to display your badge and ID without removing them from the case.
Badge Wallets:
Another essential accessory, badge wallets, offer similar choices in functionality. Choose between bi-fold or tri-fold styles and single or double ID options. The primary differences between badge wallets and ID cases are the addition of credit card slots and a place for cash.
Quick Tip: For maximum functionality, consider how many credit cards you carry and whether you use your wallet on and off duty. Of course, the bi-fold or tri-fold choice is a big one too!
Badge Holders:
For those looking for workday flexibility, badge holders are the perfect choice. Badge holders include belt clips, neck chains, or a combination product. While badge holders typically do not hold an ID, they offer a convenient solution for securely displaying your badge without pinning it to a uniform shirt or jacket.
Quick Tip: Belt clips are great for easy access and visibility on your waist, while neck chains provide a higher level of visibility. If your role involves a lot of movement, a secure badge holder with a sturdy clip or neck chain is ideal to prevent loss.
