QwickDraw: Fast Access iPhone Holster for Office Cowboys

The picture probably tells you all you need to know about Speck's QwickDraw holster for the iPhone 3G. The non-leather case clips onto belt or waistband and the iPhone latches in. The little thumb-switch you see in the picture lets you slide the phone out again.

We imagine that Speck has researched the demographic for this product very carefully. Along with the lame name, the cowboy metaphor continues in the blurb:

[It] keeps your phone locked in place during mighty important activities, like sitting down at the saloon, climbing into the saddle, or rounding up your herd. With just a simple flick of the quick-release latch, you can whip that phone out and dial your local posse.

Seriously. That's not to say we aren't attracted by the whole Robert De Niro You-Talking-To-Me? schtick, it's just that here at Gadget Lab we do things properly. While everybody else was trying, in vain, to get Danny Dumas to shave his lovely locks into a psycho-mohawk, I was busy with the gaffer tape, metal rods and springs. The result? Instant access, sleeve mounted iPhone cannons. Awesome, huh?

The QwickDraw is on sale now for half its usual $30, which means you can buy two, one for each hip.
