Copper River Bag Co. creates beautiful, hand-crafted, American-made leather gear bags. They have a couple of water-resistant iPhone pouches that can actually also serve as your wallet. There’s both a Lady’s style (bottom left) and a Men’s style (top), although I don’t see any differences other than the shape of the snap tab. (Click on the picture for an enlarged view.) Each style is 5.5″ X 3″ and made of 100% full grain stone oiled leather, lined with microfiber suede, and stitched with marine-grade, UV-protected thread. They are called iPhone pouches, but they will hold most phones, and there’s room inside for ID, credit cards, and cash, too. Both styles are available in black, brown, and Seringeti leather. The Lady’s style is $41.50, and the Men’s style is $38.95.

Hi Julie, Several months ago you had a posting on Iphone pouches made by the Copper River Bag Company. I liked the basic bag but wanted some changes made. Their bag was simply a pouch for the Iphone. I have my Iphone4s in an Otterbox Defender case which adds a lot of bulk to the phone and I was certain their bag would not handle my phone/case combination. And I wanted to be able to carry the pouch on my belt. I contacted them about this and they were very easy to work with in changing their bag demensions and adding a means of holding the bag on a belt. It took several months, primarily due to an email from me to them in the middle of the process, for me to get a bag that works. I was very surprised that agreed to change their product for me, and even more surprised that they did not charge me for this. I’m attaching a couple of photos of the pouch.
