Praise

Here's what people are saying about their PortaPocket carrying cases :

Thanks again for PortaPocket! I recently went to Brazil to participate in Carnival... You can imagine how crowded it was. With all the warnings I've read and heard about pickpocketing and other robberies I have to admit I was little nervous. I don't know what my husband and I would do without PortaPocket (yes, I have few)! Thanks to you we were able to divide our cash and credit cards in few small piles and attach them to our body parts in unexpected places. I'm writing this because of the World Cup coming up next year and then Olympics following up shortly... I honestly believe Brazil would be a perfect market for PortaPocket ...people need it...and would love it!

PortaPocket is THE best travel product I have EVER used (I'm 53, and travel a LOT, and lived most my life overseas, so I don't say this lightly), and so great that my hubs wanted one too, and I just ordered him a PortaPocket set and got us both the optional velcro waist belts. I have used my Portapocket everywhere, on my arm and leg, doing everything from sailboat racing to horseback riding to ATVing, etc., etc., etc., and it works great, and lasts! And now they're doing "blingy" ones with rhinestones, too! I love it so much I follow them on Twitter @portapocketgal and Facebook, and have posted photos of me & my Portapocket all over the world on their Facebook page! The "kit" is only $19.95, which makes this a great, cheap thrill of a gift- and to make it an even cooler gift, you could put something inside, like tickets to an event or a trip...

"Let me say that your product (18" band with medium pocket) worked perfectly! I have a 723 Medtronic pump & wore it in the thigh pocket all day & into the night & it never slipped once. It held my pump in place & I didn't have to worry about it falling out/off/onto the floor. It was a Catholic wedding so there was considerable time spent getting up & down & moving about and the entire time the velcro held tight. YAY! Thank you so much & know that I will be recommending your product to my insulin pumping friends should they ever need an out of the way and sturdy holder for their pump!"

"Kendra....the portapocket is a part of my daily attire ....I just love it!! I wear maxi dresses and don't like carrying purses the portapocket is perfect and stays in place under my dress....to you I bow down...I bow...I bow...."
-- Veronica Matthews, Beaumont, TX

"Thanks for your prompt reply. I just found your product today and I am excited to get them ordered. I am disabled from MS and I am in a wheelchair full time. I'm always looking for more ways to transport things with me. I also passed on your web page to my sister who was diagnosed with diabetes 2 weeks ago.
This is something I might have made myself if I was not disabled. Thanks for making and selling these. I'm always looking for the next gadget that will help me in my life as a disabled person. This might just be my best find this year. which means I will also be giving some as gifts at Christmas. "Bless you!"

"It arrived and it is perfect! Between all the straps and pockets, my husband and I will be outfitted perfectly. Since I spoke to you and worked out shipping, I have completely abandoned the idea of carrying a purse altogether....and it is like I've gotten rid of an albatross. Good riddance! Our household is all abuzz with excitement for our trip ...Thank you for getting the parcel to us in time... I like the way you do business!"
-- L. Shepherd, British Columbia, CANADA

"I just ordered the ministrap and will now have all of your PortaPocket pieces. I should've ordered everything at once, but didn't realize how much I was going to love this product. I just wanted to tell you the background behind what prompted my orders. Unfortunately, my husband & I along with another couple were victims of an armed robbery. Thank goodness we were all ok, but the guy got everything from us -- keys, credit cards, phones. He had even started using our credit & debit cards before we could cancel them.... I now put nothing of value in my purse and try to carry everything in a clothes pocket or with PortaPockets. My husband has scaled down his wallet considerably & has only the necessities. I think he should start wearing PortaPocket too. thanks for developing such a wonderful product.

"I wanted you to know that I love the portapocket!!!! I can put my PDM (personal diabetes manager) in the portapocket. It allows me to carry a small pure or clutch. Another cool thing about the portapocket is, I can put my iPhone in it!!! Love it!...can't wait to see how it works out for me when I go to Disneyland next month"
-- Cherise Shockley, Sun City, CA

"I use the PortaPockets to accommodate convenient access to my Epipen. I have to have this with me at all times because of a medical condition. It is very handy and comfortable. I purchased several versions of this handy pocket so I have many options to suit what I am wearing. It is comfortable and I have peace of mind when I have it with me at all times. I love it! Thank you for this great product!
-- Dene Mathis, Arlington Heights, IL

"Hello from Kabul...Thank you very much for my PortaPocket, I use it almost everyday after work. The only chance I get to exercise is after work so a friend of mine and myself will walk a couple of miles every night around the perimeter of our compound. Before getting the PortaPocket I never would carry any music with me; but now I can carry my itouch and I have tunes while I walk. It is very comfortable to wear, I don't even know I have it on. Thanks again...."
-- Retired Captain Jack B. Rogers, U.S. Army

"I'm really enjoying it...Wearing it on my ankle is very comfortable and works well with my BlackBerry. It's almost like not having it on at all! It feels very secure and I don't worry at all about losing it. Thanks again for your great solution to my Eddie Bauer no pockets clothing!"
-- Marilyn Robinson, Richland, WA

-- Robin Siekerman, Atlanta, GA

"...I was so glad I had my little "thing" with me on our cruise..thanks to my PortaPocket I was able to completely relax and enjoy Key West and Cozumel. Never once did I have to worry about losing my purse or having it stolen! With my PP firmly attached on my leg I was able to walk around the ports with both of my arms/hands free (can you say shopping!) Thanks so much to you and PP for this liberating experience."
-- Laurel Golden, Chicago, IL

"...I was on the Carnival Cruise to the Honduras, Belize and the Caymans. I wore the belt to help me carry my iPod and key, so I didn't have to carry a purse. I wore the belt to exercise, walk around the ship, at meals, etc. People were asking me constantly about where I got it and asked if they could find it at the cruise gift shop. I think it's wonderful to use whether you take it to the gym, or use it instead of a purse!"
-- Judy Greenberg, Long Grove, IL
