Card Machine & Scanner Holsters

Our card machine holsters keep the payment terminal, pin pad, PDA or handheld scanner on your belt, protected and ready to use. No more card readers left on tables, dropped on the floor or forgotten in an apron pocket.

Choose a fabric holster in size S, M or L to fit your device, or a leather holster for a more elegant look in restaurants and hotels. For waiters, delivery drivers, warehouse staff and anyone who takes payments or scans on the move.

Keep the card machine on you, not on the table

Portable card machines and handheld devices are expensive and easy to drop. A payment terminal holster gives each device a fixed place on the belt: staff take it out at the table, charge the customer and put it back, with both hands free to carry plates or parcels between payments.

The same applies to ordering PDAs in restaurants and barcode scanners in shops and warehouses: a holster protects the screen, reduces breakages and keeps the device with the person responsible for it.

Choose the right size

Size S: compact card readers, pin pads and ordering devices

The fabric holster in size S fits compact payment terminals, pin pads, small scanners and ordering devices, as well as most smartphones used as a till or order taker. A good choice for mobile card readers such as SumUp-style devices and for waiters who take orders on a phone.

Size M: card readers, pin pads and scanners

The size M fabric holster has more depth for card readers with a built-in printer roll, larger pin pads and mid-size handheld scanners.

Size L: POS terminals and mobile scanners

The size L holster is designed for full-size portable POS terminals and mobile scanners, as used in retail stockrooms, warehouses and logistics.

Leather holsters for hospitality

The Holster for Handheld Devices, PDA, POS and Pin Pad is made of leather and available in different sizes and colours, for waiters, drivers and gaming staff who want a professional look. We also offer a lightweight, compact leather money pouch for waiters in this category.

Not sure which size you need?

Measure the height, width and thickness of your device, including any protective case, and compare it with the dimensions on each product page. If your device sits between two sizes, choose the larger one so it slides in and out easily. You can also tell us the model and we will recommend the right holster.

Who uses a scanner or card machine holster

  • Waiters and bar staff: card machine and ordering PDA on the belt during service. See our solutions for hospitality.
  • Delivery and taxi drivers: payment on the doorstep or in the car without searching through bags.
  • Retail and supermarket staff: a barcode scanner holster for stock checks, price checks and queue-busting.
  • Warehouse and logistics teams: handheld scanners protected during picking and loading.
  • Event and fair staff: mobile ticket scanning and payments.

Complete your mobile payment kit

Wear the holster on the same belt as a money pouch to carry the card machine, notes and coins together:

When the card machine stays on the counter, use a payment terminal stand instead. See the full range in money pouches.

Faqs

Using a shoulder bag makes the payment process much faster, as there's no need to go to another area to retrieve the card reader.
  • Security: It prevents the device from accidentally falling to the ground or getting lost.
  • Convenience: The employee's hands are free to carry plates or trays when not processing payments.
Thanks to the wide variety of products we have at Countermatic, we have shoulder bags for card readers in sizes S, M and L.
