The holster includes a casing having a body portion for receiving the dispenser. The casing also includes a first retainer at one end thereof which can be a flap and a second retainer at the other end thereof for selectively holding the dispenser in the casing in the position so that the dispenser can be actuated by the actuator button to cause protective chemicals to be sprayed from the spray nozzle while the dispenser is in the casing. Separate belt connectors adapted to be attached to a user's belt and an attaching structure is provided for operably connecting or disconnecting the casing to the belt connector whereby the casing with the dispenser therein can be quickly and easily accessed for use or stored away for immediate re-access.

Abstract: An apparatus for carrying a self-protection chemical dispenser, functioning also as a key holder, which provides quick and convenient access to the dispenser nozzle while also protecting the nozzle from inadvertent activation. A protective arcuate portion or flap of the holder carries a rigid wire or semi-rigid strip of material which guards the nozzle while the device is in one's pocket or purse, or in case the device is accidentally dropped.
