Will both holders fit my badge?

Yes! Both the PF-716 and PF-726 use our recessed badge cutout system. You don't need to choose one model over the other based on the shape of your badge.

Badge & Wallet offers more than 1,600 badge cutout shapes, including cutouts for every Smith & Warren badge model and thousands of badges from other manufacturers.

Which holder is right for me?

The answer depends on your preferences.

 Choose the PF-716 Belt Clip Holder if:

  • You prefer the most budget-friendly option
  • You don't use the neck chain often (or at all)
  • Your badge is flat, so it will sit completely in the holder

Choose the PF-726 Premium Belt Clip Holder if:

  • Your budget is more flexible
  • You use the neck chain regularly, for long shifts or you move around a lot with it on
  • Your badge is curved, so it sticks out of the holder a little more
  • You prefer the additional leather thickness around the recessed cutout.
