and -- well, some of them, they've been out but other  things have been recent products that actually are very innovative

and I've been really excited about their products every time I get a newsletter from them

because last year, I shot around this time and I showed in the video a bunch of their cases and straps

but this year, there's even more accessories

so we're going to kind of go into detail some of the accessories that they have come out with.

Originally, this is what we got.

This is the regular Bandolier case and now they have it not just for the iPhone, but several other manufacturers too like Samsung.

If you go online to their site at bandelierstyle.com, you'll see that they go by the phone size

so make sure you check that to see if they have the style for you.

And this is the most basic one. It's just the case with this snap cover in the back

and this is what holds your cards and for us, it usually holds about three cards.

You could go four, but to me, that's pushing it.

But yeah, this has been great. We use this every day. It's such an essential for us.

I just upgraded to the new iPhone 12

and if you're worried about Bandolier -- if you're getting a new phone and you have a previous model with a Bandolier case,

don't worry, they are on top of new designs coming out.

As soon as the iPhone announced that they were having new devices coming out -- new phones coming out,

Bandolier already had a newsletter going out saying they're going to have the new cases for that ready.

If you're not familiar with Bandolier, this is pretty much their standard case.

It fits perfectly around your phone

and then there are two attachments down here  that holds a strap that is removable

so if you don't want to have the strap, you can use this phone without the strap

but I always keep the strap on because I have the phone wrapped around me at all times  

and then, the back of them all of them have some sort  of compartment to put your cards and  

typically, like Crystal said, it fits about two to three cards

and this was their very original design

and they have since changed.

They have different kinds and you can still buy the original

but now they have one where it opens up this  way and I can fit about three or four cards in here.

right now I have three and then I have a receipt in here.

Also if you're wondering if it's hard to remove these -- the phones from the case, it's not.

it is pretty simple to remove

like that's how easily I was able to remove it.

In the beginning, when they first had these phones, the cases were kind of difficult to remove

so if you were one of those buyers and then you were put off by that, don't worry, since then, they have remodeled

and have really taken people's critiques on the cases  and they've made it so much easier to take on and off.

So this is what they're known for is their iPhone cases and their straps

and this is all leather. It's genuine leather, so it's really good material.

You don't have to worry about it ripping because I know a lot of other products, if it's not leather, it tends to wear out pretty fast

because you're wearing this every day -- well, we are, so you want to have a really good durable product

and their products are very durable.

Yeah, so once you get your case, they usually come with their straps

and I think when you order it, it comes with a specific strap, right?

Yeah so there's different designs.

We're just used to -- we like wearing black because it matches everything

and Crystal really likes this gold chain

but they have a ton of different designs and colors and each case comes with a strap that matches the case.

But if you're like us and you're super fans, you're gonna start growing your collection.

We have numerous straps and you can also buy straps individually. 

So say you have this case and you're kind of tired of the black strap,

you can go online and you can just buy this chain separately or a different design

and they're constantly putting out new designs, so definitely sign up for their newsletter

because that's what I did and that's how I know the new designs are always coming out.

This one that I have is a little bit thicker than their original straps

because the stripes actually used to be thinner and right now the style is getting more popular to have thicker straps.

I'm a fan of the thicker straps.

This is kind of like their medium thickness and this is also adjustable. It does have little holes there.

Not too much of an adjustment, but if you want it a little bit shorter, you can make these straps shorter.

We were just talking about how you can buy straps individually

so they recently came out with these utility lines.

This is my strap that I could not wait for it to come back on sale

because when they first launched this, it sold out immediately within a day

and I was like, 'Oh shoot, I should have bought it right away.'

This is called the Billy Strap, by the way,

and then they launched it a second time and it sold out again.

Third time, I finally got it and now I feel like you can probably get on there now and get this if you want it, but this is amazing.

This you just buy -- they sell just the strap itself and

so I attach it to my phone here...

I feel like a warrior when I wear this

but I kept so many things in here on our road trip.

I kept hand sanitizers, soap, liquid soap...

and these came in so handy at rest stops when some bathrooms that didn't have soaps, I didn't have to go without not touching -- I mean without washing my hands.

Oh, more hand sanitizer.

I have lip gloss in there...

and on the back here, I typically would put my mask

and yep, there's a mask.

The mask is still in there.

I also stashed some cash in here too.

This has been my go-to all summer and I'm so in love with this Billy Strap

and Crystal got something similar in the line and this is what you can buy separately too.

Hers is a little bit more girly than the one I got. Hahaha.

Yeah, so this is a heart pouch one.

I don't know, I just really thought it was cute so I wanted to get one of these

so like Candy, you can store extra things with you while you have your phone around your body

and again, I just took off my gold strap -- my gold chain strap,

and then you can just put this on -- so this is a thicker strap.

I like this thickness.

So this is the other one, so it's a little -- it's like half of that.

And then the other one, the thinnest one is half of this.

But this one is my favorite thickness right now.

Yeah, I really wanted to get this so that I can carry some extra things with me while I have my phone still wrapped around me  

and I think it's a pretty good size in here.

You can put in some cash, some extra cards, lip gloss, lipstick, your car keys...

and you can also remove this.

So say you don't want to have that pouch one day...

If you don't want to have it, it has a clip up here and then you just have to remove this

and then it just slides out.

And then maybe you want to attach it to something else so you can just use this and...

or maybe you can even attach it to the side of your phone if you want to.

I have another thing here which I'll show you in a little  bit where you could use that and attach it to something.

That's one thing I like about their products is that you can mix and match.

Once you have the case and one strap, you can start buying other straps and other accessories to go with it.

This strap, the nylon strap, is something really different that they've brought out this year  

and I was really interested in trying this out because not only is this a strap for your phone,

which this is -- right here is where -- these are the two hooks here

the swivel hooks that go to your phone

this then -- actually, if you remove the buckles,

it turns into a belt!

I thought that was such a neat idea to make this into a belt and it's adjustable.

Then, if you want, you can take this and it doesn't have to wrap around you,

so you can just hold it like this if you want like while you're shopping or maybe like this

but you'll have like a matching belt...

I mean, you don't have to wear it like this and you could still put it in your purse if you want

but what I really like about this belt is it's easy to adjust and it's a nice buckle

and I actually have a trench coat that I think will really match this

and then if you see right here, there's like the little hook right here  

so like for example, Crystal's heart that she had

that's where I could mix and match and remove this and put it on here

or if I had keys that had a hook, I could put my keys on here.

So yeah, so many different uses with this design and you can just be really creative of the different ways of using this strap.

So you can still use it as a crossbody strap too?

Yeah, so if I um remove this

and put it back together...

so now, it can be a cross body strap.

So yeah, many different ways of using this strap.

Another version of the case that they have is this Folio Case.

A lot of the times, when we wear our Bandoliers, we get  a lot of compliments but then they also ask us

'Aren't you afraid that your phone's going to get scratched because it's out in the open?'  

Which, by the way, it's never shattered or I've never had any issues.

No, we've had no problems. I mean, as you can tell, my phone is spic and span clean.

So nothing has been happening to my phone and everything is fine

but we do get that question a lot, like 'Aren't you afraid of your phone...'

I get it. I understand why people ask that question.

I get it too. So now ,they have this Folio Case.

So, with --- I'm just going to take this out real quick

and then put this in here

so now, the front is covered so you don't have to worry about that problem

and so this is a magnetic closure here too

and you do look more sophisticated -- hahaha.

You look business-y.

Let me just see what I got.

Hahaha!

and then in the back is the pouch where you can put your cards still.

So it's the same functionality except it just has a cover in the front.

My only thing with this is that it makes it a little bit harder to take photos.

Well, not like this, but if I want to take it horizontally, which I do sometimes to take videos, it is a little bit harder to shoot this way.

Or if I'm just like relaxing on my bed, I feel like it's extra weight to carry

so I don't feel as lax looking at my phone, but those are just little issues.

If you really want to protect your phone, then this is the way to go.

You know what I think this is a good use for? Now that I'm thinking about it.

If you don't want -- let's say you have an outfit on or you just have other things going on that you don't want to wear your phone

and you want to put your phone in your purse this is a great protector.

Yeah, that's true.

From stuff in your purse like hitting the phone.

The next items we're going to show you are accessories for your phone and one of my favorites this year has been this device stand.

It doesn't even look like a device stand. It's foldable, you can store this, you can carry it with you anywhere

but it is so useful, especially for people now who are working from home.

So this is what it looks like. It's always on my desk.

Any of the phones will fit on it without having to remove the case

and it's very durable and also you can have your phone charging while it's sitting on the stand and it's very flexible.

You can move it around.

I really like this device, or actually stand, and I also like that it's foldable.

When we went on our road trip, I was able to take this with me  and just throw it in my bag and it didn't take up that much room at all.

The next thing that we have are these expandable pouches.  

They have different sizes where it's like a slim pouch and a bigger pouch.

This is probably the biggest pouch that they have for this

and they have them in different shapes as well. It's not just a rectangle.

They have a round one, they have the heart one...

so you can go all different kinds of ways

and then you can put a lot more things in here

and of course, you attach it to the hooks on your Bandolier

and I just put it behind my phone so it kind of looks like this.

I try not to put too much stuff in here though because it does get bulky

and then it kind of just looks weird.

Yeah, I have the slimmer version and when I don't have it attached to my phone, I actually just use it as a wallet.

So like on our road trips, I have that part in my book bag and that's where I put all my other miscellaneous cards,

like your health insurance card or AAA card...

stuff that I don't need to always have with me, I put in this pouch
