Actually, I will say it's my favorite everyday and travel accessory and it is the Bandolier!

I have been using this brand - or this case - this phone case purse strap for years now.

Ever since I found out about them, I became a huge fan and I have not used any other case since I found them.

Why? Because there's a lot of reasons why and I'm gonna that tell you why I love this case so much.

I love it so much that a lot of my close friends now use Bandolier or have a Bandolier.

And obviously, Crystal, my sister, she got on board as soon as she saw how convenient it was

and really wanted one too after she saw me wearing it and using it.

So what is the Bandolier?

It is a phone case that not only holds your phone,

but also has a strap.

And this strap is also removable and adjustable.

Well, the design that I have right now this one is.

But they have a variety of designs.

Some straps are thinner. Some are thicker. Some are adjustable. Some aren't.

But the one thing they all have in common is that you can remove the strap from the casing.

So if you want to buy a different strap, but you don't want to buy a different case

that's totally doable because they sell just straps which is great because in the past, when they first came out

they didn't have that option, so I'm so glad that they provided that

because as you can see, I'm a huge fan and I love to have a variety of straps.

These are all the straps that I have depending on my outfit

but my go-to is is the black because black usually matches a lot of things.

So this is the one I'm wearing today and one of the great features about this phone

or not the phone, but the phone case -

well, why I fell in love with it is because it came with a crossbody strap.

Now when I was searching for a phone case that came with a strap

the only options I was able to find were the ones that you wear around the neck

or the strap was super short that it wasn't really a type you want to wear like as a crossbody

or it was just like a really short handle and those just were not the options I was looking for

so when I found the Bandolier and I saw that you can actually wear it as a crossbody and it'll fall on the hip,

I was like okay I'm sold, I need it because that's what I've been looking for

and I don't know why other - I don't know I couldn't find this before

it was just so hard to find what I was looking for

or if I did find something that was kinda similar, the case was cheap or it was just made cheaply

and I just wasn't comfortable with my phone being secure

but these are very well made.

The strap is leather. They do have vegan options or fabrics like this. Not all of it is leather.

But they stand by their quality. If, for whatever reason, the casing breaks I believe there's a one-year warranty

and that has happened to me before where the case broke.

But they have since redesigned their casings and it's much, much easier to take out your phone now

so I love that they're constantly evolving and making things better.

So that's another reason why I always stick to the Bandolier cases.

So I've showed you this strap. This is my favorite one right now.

It's a black strap. It's thick and it's also adjustable.

I really like the length of this strap.

Crystal, on the other hand, my sister, her go-to strap - this is the one I used to always use

is this thin black one and this is much longer and it's not adjustable

but this is kind of her go-to strap.

Another strap that she really likes, that we both, have is this gold one

which this matches a lot of outfits that that are more dressy I guess you want to say

So it's a great option - like these are our two favorites is the gold - I think this is called the Belinda strap

I even have the name memorized

and then the black.

And I like to have these straps sometimes.

I wear a lot of black so having just like a hint of color with my black outfits

it's great to have some straps that have like these funky designs.

So I have obviously grown my collection over the years because I'm a huge fan

and right now I want to say what I'm looking forward to using is this design

which they just came out with not too long ago

because it is the holidays and I think this is gonna look great with the holiday dresses or New Year's Eve party.

It's like nice and cool like sparkly - I guess you want to say kind of

but I also want to kind of get into some of the other features that the Bandolier has.

I know I already mentioned - I think I mentioned it - what I love about these cases

is that there is a place in the back where you can hold your cards and that is amazing.

I like that I can go out of the house just with my phone.

I already know I have my driver's license and my credit cards with me

so that's what I really like about the case is that you can also store cards in the back of it

and it also has like a little button here so it makes sure -

so even if you're holding your phone upside down, the cards won't fall out.

Before when I first found out about about the Bandolier, it was just the case and the strap

but they have expanded their designs which is great

because there were times when I had my phone with me but I still had in my hands the keys

and I'm like, there's just nowhere to put these keys

so they came out with an attachment that you can put to your Bandolier in this pouch

and they have different designs, this is just one of the designs I have that matches this case

but I also have a black one.

So in here, I could put my additional items like car keys, lip gloss, maybe a little tube of hand lotion

and that's what I use this for.

Another feature that they added that they didn't have before, because there were no Airpods before

but now there are there are Airpods, you can now add an Airpods case to your Bandolier

and I have done that because I have upgraded my headphones to Airpods

and when I first had my Airpods, I was carrying it around with me or put it in my pocket and I kept losing it

and I'm like, ugh, I wish there was another option

besides just holding it or putting my pockets

and of course, Bandolier saw that problem and they came out with the Airpods case

that I can just attach to my Bandolier

which you know, usually if I have the pouch though, I just put the Airpods in the pouch

because I just don't want to have all these attachments to my Bandolier

but this is just to show you what it could look like if you wanted to go ahead and use all three

but usually I just use either or.

If I'm just carrying my Airpods with the phone I'll just use this

or if I'm gonna use the pouch here then I'll go ahead and throw in my Airpods in here.

So what did I go through - I went through, let's see... the different designs that they have

like the straps from thin to thick to adjustable.

Awesome designs. They're always coming out with new designs.

Let's see... Oh yeah, and if you upgrade your phone, they're usually really fast with upgrading the cases.

So every time I upgraded my iPhone, I knew that there was gonna be a new Bandolier waiting for me

because cannot go back to just a regular phone case.

Every time I've grade my phone I have to have a new Bandolier case for it

because I'm just so attached to it. It's just so convenient.

So that's great that they keep up with the times

and whenever the new phones come out, they're ready with the new cases.

I love the card slots in the back

and they actually do have new cases now where the slot looks a little bit different.

It's kind of like um... there's a button this way when you open it up.

It's kind of hard to explain but if you go on their site, you'll see what I mean

but they have a little bit of a different design now for the cases

but I'm happy with this case so I don't mind this style.

I'm sure the other style is just as good.

I love that you can attach a pouch and this is the thicker one but they also have a thin pouch as well.

I love that they have the Airpods case...

I also - I also like that they have designs that are a little bit more fancy

like this strap right here, this gold strap

I use when I'm wearing a nice dress

so when I was in Vegas with my girlfriends and we all kind of dressed up to go out, I used this gold strap

and this one, I actually just recently got with this pouch

and I'm gonna wear this probably for the holidays with my holiday dresses,

for Christmas parties and also for the New Year's.

This is a great design I think cause it's like shiny and festive

and just like how your outfits are probably gonna look when you go out for the holidays.

There's just so much about this brand that I'm in love with that I can just go on all day about them.

Yeah, I think that's pretty much it.

They are super convenient, they always have new designs, I love the card slot,

I love that they solved the issue of the Airpods.

They have a little Airpods attachment - little case attachment.

They've got little attachments if you want to carry extra things with you.

If you have any questions about the Bandolier go ahead and comment below

and I'll be glad to answer any questions you have because like I said I have been using them for years now

and I can't rave about them enough.

I'm a huge fan and I just know until something else better comes out, I'm gonna keep on using Bandolier

because I seriously never lose my phone anymore

I don't ever drop it because it's always secured around me

and I can't tell you how many times I get stopped by people asking me where I got this phone case

and what a cool idea is.

Oh! And also they used to only have it for the iPhone but they have since expanded.

They do have cases for other phones

and they have expanded designs for men

so if you guys out there if you are looking for a case like this with a cool strap

definitely check into it because they do have designs now for the men out there.
