You reading this should wear a yo-yo holster when possible. This has happened to me so I’ll explain why. Some people will see the yo-yo in my holster and will ask what it is and I will show them. It just another way to spread our community 😃. Also how can you say that they don’t look good???

That’s not a yoyo holster. A Silver Bullet comes with a fine leather holster. Check it out sometime.

I suppose a holster could be something that encompasses the object (think of a gun holster). So I guess this would be more of a holder? Either way, who cares lol  
Also really like the holster/holder @Marm! I’ve got a couple paracord holster/holders coming from @MastarMash

It’s a holder at best. I always called those things Yolders cause it’s a yoyo holder

I just use those cheap holders from yoyo factory. I also do not like my yoyo free-swinging. Sometimes it comes out of my pocket and people see it but no one has ever asked about it yet.

I just roll mine up in the sleeve of my t-shirt, just like they rolled up cigarette packs in the 50’s. So cool!🕶 Gets so much more attention than wearing a yoyo on a strap or in a holster. Placing a yoyo between your forehead and a sweat band is still the best way to get people to notice your yoyo, such a crowd pleaser. They will never forget you! Try it! Yep, that’s a triple dog dare! 🐕🐕🐩

Didn’t @jhb8426 cover this recently?? He’s right! A holster means the whole thing inserts inside, like a pocket.

Or maybe yoyo strap, or yoyo collar. Not a holster though.

I used to wear a yoyo holder/holster all the time. I did it for the same reason of convenience and bringing more interest from people. After a while I became annoyed with it clanging into everything. I think i even caught a yoyo in my car door once… I could care less if the yoyo is beat, it was more the sound and incovience of hitting everything around me that made me stop. Maybe a shorter length would help?

If a yoyo holder is a yolder, then isn’t a yoyo case a yase?

That’s more like a hyper tactical equipment retention apparatus effectively designated to specifically create a limitation in range of movement.

Ladies go crazy when they see a grown man with a yoyo hanging from his belt. They also love seeing a slingshot in a back pocket.
