That's very cool .:thumbup:
I've read constantly that Kydex sheaths will scratch a knife blade overtime , what will it do to the screen on your phone ?
Do you have to clean up the edges of the laser cuts at all , or is that how they come out from the machine ?

Hi Ken, and everyone else :)

That is bad information.

KYDEX WILL NOT SCRATCH YOUR BLADE, GUN, PHONE or ANYTHING ELSE, it is the dust, sand or other paticles that get in the holster, sheath or whatever that mars the finish.
this has also been posted all over the place, just keep your items/gear clean and there will not be a problem.

Please know this is not directed at you or anyone else in particular, just info that needs to be said.

Now as far as the phone holster goes ;

I have been using the phone holster without the Sith Symbol for over 2 months now and it has done nothing to the screen or phone bump guard at all.

It is also key that the holster be made with the proper negative spaces for screw heads and whatnot.



As far as the Laser work goes (this is more of a public service announcement for safety :) ) ;

1.Kydex is very toxic when burned or vaporized, even deadly, so you can not use a hobby machine, it will kill you and at best make you very ill.

2.It takes a Very expensive (30 to 60k) laser to burn through or even come close to making the marks deep enough for what I wanted to do so it was not done in house, I paid an expert to do it.

3.Again kydex is very toxic/deadly when burned so they have a super filter system and they feel safe doing it.

4.I went to 7 or 8 different laser places that would not do it at all because of the deadly fumes and "the smoke from the burning kydex will ruin the emitter" some said, well actually a lot of them said that.
My guy's family have been doing laser work for years (decades) and has quite a heavy duty filtration/exhaust system and he feels confident that it is fine. They have done over 200 pieces for me so far.

Thank you for all the kind words and I hope this helps answer the questions :)

Hey David - Are you making phone holsters for sale, or was it a one-off for personal use?

If your doing them for sale, have you done one for the iPhone 6plus and have any pricing?

Cheers.

It was a one of for me, phone holsters are a strange animal, with the phones changing all the time.
I used to try to keep up with them and get dummy phones but it just never worked out.
If you were in Utah or could get me a dummy phone I could make something ?
E-mail me if you would like.
