The ifrothgolf review
A magnetic carry case for Bushnell rangefinders that lets you stick the device straight onto a steel cart bar so it's there when you need a yardage, aimed at cart golfers who are sick of fishing the laser out of a bag pocket.
What's great
The magnet does the main job well. Bushnell's own BITE-style mounts pull around 7lbs, and the third-party hard cases use a similar strong magnet, so once it's clamped to the cart bar it stays put through a normal round without me worrying about it bouncing off. The hard-shell versions add proper drop and scratch protection, which a bare rangefinder in a bag pocket does not get. For cart golfers it genuinely speeds up grab, shoot, go, and that convenience is the whole point.
Worth knowing
Big one: the magnet only grips ferrous steel, so if you walk or push a carbon or aluminium trolley it does nothing useful and you're carrying a heavier case for no reason. The third-party cases (ACCTOLF, GUNPJONE and the like) are hit and miss on fit, some sit loose or the flap pops open, so check it actually clamps your exact model before trusting it. On the genuine units, the battery cap is a known weak point and can work loose with the constant on-off, and that strong magnet will happily attract anything metal in your pocket and is best kept away from your phone and watch.
The verdict
If you ride a cart with a steel bar, I rate it as a cheap bit of convenience that protects the device too. If you walk or use a non-steel trolley, I'd skip it and save the bag space.
What reviewers say
Owners value the rugged hard-shell protection and the convenience of the magnetic BITE mount for docking the laser on a cart. The recurring caveat is that fit is model-specific, so buyers must confirm it matches their exact rangefinder.
