I’ve now purchased 2 Bandolier cases (& a wristlet). Both of my cases are beautiful! They are well made & protect my phone perfectly! I always get comments from friends asking where they’re from :) My second case is a Kimmie! She came perfectly wrapped in her case! I didn’t notice any flaws at first but in a couple of days, the top of the snap came off. I emailed customer service & had an almost immediate response - that doesn’t happen these days! The emails were friendly and to the point and within 2 short messages and a few photos, my replacement was on its way! (Which I am so thankful for). I am obsessed with these cases AND the company’s customer service! Thanks again!

Reply from BANDOLIER

Good evening. Yes, all of the above is completely accurate. Additionally, earlier today, we did communicate an apology that an agent misunderstood and thought you needed assistance in identifying the proper size (as you've stated above). We have written emails indicating the correct size is being sent as desired and haven't received a response, so we are hoping you will see the response here. Our apologies again for the error on the initial misunderstanding, and as we've stated in our various emails today, we can confirm the correct case is shipping to arrive by Wednesday. Take care.

Additional reply: Yes, thank you, as mentioned, an incorrect understanding of the issue led to the confusion. As soon as we identified this we worked to get the new case shipped out. Thank you for working with us and your patience on the resolution.

Customer service sucks

Used their products for 5 years and the most expensive piece broke after a year and a half and all they had to say was sorry we don’t cover that. Their customer service is curt and unhelpful. Will be moving to another brand.

I have purchased a phone case about two years ago. A month after the purchase the strap connector to the case broke. I contracted Bandolier about it and they have sent me a new case and strap with no questions asked.
The case itself is still in a very good state and I wouldn't be replacing it if not for the phone upgrade that forces me to do it. Now I will be purchasing my new phone case again from Bandolier

Horrible post sales support

I bought a lovely red case and strap. Very expensive but quality item— or so I thought. I’ve had it for 16 months and a few weeks ago the metal connector, a loop, qthat attaches the case to the strap fell out. (It looks like a part that would cost less than 50 cents.) Anyway I emailed asking if I could get a replacement connector. No
Chance as it is out of its 12 month warranty. And they don’t stock or sell extra hardware. But, hey, I can have a 10% discount on a new one.

Gorgeous Lily case 🌼

I’m very happy with my recent purchase of the Lily crossbody case. I have been using Bandolier cases for years now. So well made and excellent protection. Ordering is so easy and shipping is fast.

Excellent customer service

Got my bandolier as a baby gift and loved it. About a yr later one of the d rings broke. I contacted customer service and couldn’t be more pleased with their help. They sent a replacement case free of charge and were so easy to deal with and it was a pleasure corresponding over email. Definitely recommend and hope to buy more products in the future

Bandolier has become a new favorite place of mine to shop. I am typically into designer labels and would definitely rate this brand as the high-end ‘designer’ brand of phone accessories. Their products are really beautiful and quality is top notch. All of my items are in their signature pebbled leather which feels so luxe. One of my favorites is the Lily heart pouch set - I have it in both black and red. I also have the Dillon bag which I adore, and I just ordered the black leather tote for work. Customer service is also amazing. I had one minor issue with a strap and they replaced it right away. They are super responsive to emails and always willing to help. Highly recommend them!!!

Trustworthy high quality company

This is a reputable company. They are quick to correct any problems and in today’s online landscape, it is tough to find good honest service. Because of the great quality and customer service, I placed another order and recommended Bandolier to my friends.

I am on my 3rd Bandolier Case and I love them. It is so convenient. I have the pouch that I use for a bit of cash, a lip balm and a few other bits and the phone case holds my credit cards well. I use my case every day and now don't need a handbag. I thought I would go with a different color other than black this time and chose the Vivian Brown Croc. I love it, really lovely design, my only gripe is that the strap is not adjustable, I was used to having it lower and the material is hard and not comfortable on my neck. I switched the strap for another one I had. They sell the same brown croc bag with a really nice strap that I am hoping, eventually they will sell individually for a matching design.

Don't Bother!

Do not bother with this product or website if you have Samsung Galaxy products/phones. They cater only to Apple users. I kept getting info on this product while looking for a quality phone case/wallet. Thought I would check it out only to find they are only for Apple products. They appeared to be good quality but if they came out with products for Samsung tomorrow I wouldn't buy. I have a top of the line new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and IPhone isn't even close on quality and what the phone can actually do. So sad that companies think Apple is so great! Companies are only losing customers!

The D clip that attaches to the case broke on two instances. For these high end cases, this shouldn't happen in the first place. They have a one year warranty but then after that they won't even provide you with a replacement ring.. and they are not available in the mainstream, so the case is garbage after that. I would never buy from Bandolier again. The knock off's prob last longer!

The clips that attach the strap to the our iPhone 12pro max case are not designed well and have detached several times causing the phone to fall at the most inopportune times. The tiny metal clips have been lost and we were told that the case is out of warranty and simply replacing the wire clips was not possible. Our only recourse was to fabricate clips from wire or paper clips. Not so stylish. Bandolier needs to revisit this design as the item is not as durable as it should be. We are not satisfied with Bandolier customer service.

I have purchased several phone cases and accessories and I have loved them all! I put one for my daughter who has cerebral palsy so she can carry her phone and emergency meds with her everywhere. The metal ring broke off the bottom of the phone case and bandolier sent her a replacement right away.
