heres an alternate all leather one that i think fits a little better with the other belt holsters..but it kind of looks brown.

Thank you for sharing this, I was half way thinking I would need to talk to a leather maker in order to make a holster for mine. Should have looked more thoroughly through my hardware store. ---

This is CLOSE to being both the black leather design, and replication of the Craftsman style.

We saw both the black and natural leather craftsman [tape measure holders](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform/tape-measure-holder) today. (The Kmart one linked earlier is the same as the Sears one.) They just didn’t look quite as nice as the first nylon one linked in the thread here, so we opted for those. That said, the nylon ones are not the best assembled thing on earth. (For the price thats to be expected, I think.) If you can check them out in the stores, do so. Some have crooked or mis-aligned rivets, or rivets not centered properly in the bottom strap ends. The sears site will tell you how many are on hand in your local store. It reported there were only 4 here, but we actually found 6 or 7, and picked up the 5 best ones for us and freinds who wanted them if we scored them while out today. ---

The dye tends to rub off if you don’t seal it perfectly. ---

Instead of dying leather, you can use black acrylic paint, or even black shoe polish. (The botteled liquid kind.) The shoe polish takes several coats, so I prefer the black acrylic paint. ---

Something tells me that shoe polish is going to rub off worse than dye. Dye bonds with leather where polish just coats it. ---

The liquid stuff has a sealer in it I think. At any rate, we used it on our belt fobs without issue. I checked, and I actually didn’t color the backs of our [belt gizmos](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform/calculator-circuit-board) at all with any colorant, since you can’t see it anyway once on. Better safe than sorry though using acrylic paint if you are not sure, or just leaving the back natural. Odds are, you could probably use spray paint as well, since I’ve noticed a lot of licensed leather wallets now have completely printed images on them. (The stay puft wallet looks like a standard magazine 4 color print process, unless the source image was just badly scanned from a previously printed image, opposed to the original artwork.) ---

Got this and my pke yesterday. I didn’t cut the top leather strap though. Insted I wraped it around the back and then snaped it on. This gives it a snug holster feel. Ill post pics later. Sent from my HTC Dream using Tapatalk ---
