not even a TomBihn pouch ...



ordered a spare this time .....


>>> EDIT <<<<

This thing was destructively tested by carrying it in a pocket EVERY day for 2 1/2 years .... with coins in the bit that wore through ... ... it is the only urethane item that we have that has any obvious wear ... I was just kind of impressed that he managed to destroy a Tom Bihn thing ....

Just curious, how long have you been using the other pouch? That would give newer forum members an idea of how durable the item really was!

Is the urethane covered under the lifetime warranty?

(I edited my post ... )

About 2 1/2 years - with coins in the worn compartment ... I have multiple other urethane items with no visible wear.

I would email customer service at emailus@tombihn.com , they will definitely want to know about this.

Yikes! That's really unusual to see that kind of wear on clear urethane. Please do feel free @daisy to reach out to the crew at emailus@tombihn.com

Is the urethane covered under the lifetime warranty?

Yes! Our Lifetime Guarantee covers defects in materials or workmanship. This is a strange situation for sure (maybe we'll blame it on that recent blue moon?)

Perhaps our coins have something in them that urethane hates .. seriously - I consider this a hard use and wouldn't consider a warranty claim ...

In praise of these pouches ... Mr Daisy has a life-supporting medication he needs to take twice a day ... the pouch has been the only system that means he (a) always has them on him and (b) knows whether or not he's taken it by checking the pouch (he puts two in one side of it every morning at pocket load time).

The other side normally has his EarPods case - also apparently an essential carry.

The (probably only, and not worth it) upside of covid is that we have gotten more Danish in our money habits and we don't need to carry coins anymore ...

For comparaison information, I have carried coins in my All Fabric Cordura Organizer Pouches, ever since I got them.

Those all Cordura Pouches were from one of the first production of Organizer Pouches, after or in late 2006.

Not sure of the date, Moriond, the Forum historian would know.


My Pink Cordura Clear Organizer Pouches have carried my various phones since 2007.

I remember finding a link to this before through the Rav forums while I was looking for info on Azalea (a gorgeous, deep jewel pink cordura fabric, which I wish they would bring back as Recycled 630).

Here is a discussion about it from 2014, featuring @moriond , @backpack , and @adalangdon :

Seconded, I loved Azalea (and Punch)! Would love to see either (or both, LOL) resurrected in one of the new fabrics.

I too broke the clear window on the clear organizer pouch.

I carry a pouch as my wallet, with credit cards, a moleskin notebook, space pen, and sometimes, cash. It cracked one winter when it spent time with too many cards in it. I think it was the combination of exposure to extreme cold and that particular spot being stretched at about a 90-degree angle.

I too am not asking for a warranty claim on it--mine lasted almost a decade, far longer than any other wallet I've carried. My new pouch, in burnt orange, is one my wife was not using. I've had it two years and it's going strong.

Thank you so much Cristina, for the pictures.

Pink and Storm first appeared exactly one year, after my beloved cat, was diagnosed with the illness, that took her from us.

So Pink and Storm have a very special place in my heart. I bought a bunch of the Pink Clear OPs' last batch.

Sometime later, I was in need of a sturdy item to carry my phone, at the time, the best option, for me, was one the Pink Clear OP, I hesitated because Pink was discontinued

Ever since, I have used the Pink Clear OP to carry my phone, I only forgot it at home, once.

It has carried 3 different phones, as a matter of fact, I skipped the phablet phase, so that my phone could fit in the Clear OP.


In the previous post, I mixed up the years, from the introduction of Pink and Storm to the first use of the Pink Clear OP as my phone holder.
