Customers are satisfied with the grip of the pan cover. They mention that it feels good in their hand and allows for a sturdy grip. The grip holds the weight, and doesn't easily slip.

Awesome design, great functionality.
This leather holder is really pretty awesome. Has been able to handle all work on the stove, the cover is never so hot that I have to let go. Tightens and loosens very easily to move between skillets or remove before placing in oven. When cover is tightened I can flip and spin hot irons easily without having the handle rotate inside the cover. Purchased the standard 4.5 size, nicely fits my Griswold #5, Griswold #8, Wagner #8, BSR#9. The new leather smell initially was very strong and stays on the hand, this does lessen a lot within a week of use. Overall, easily the best I have encountered that will "just fit" any of my vintage pans. From what they mention this handle cover also will fit old/new lodge and some other modern cast irons. American made, huge plus in my book. Likely buying another so I can have one handle cover on each of my daily drivers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, patented design!
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2023
High quality and nice fit. Snug but slides on and off with a little pressure so you can use quickly on multiple pans while cooking. Folds around handle so you can squeeze tight with your hand vs competition that is sewn all around. That is the patented design. Easy to use and, therefore, safer in my opinion.

Those rating this poorly because the edges burned are obviously not the sharpest. Any grip will burn if fire makes direct contact.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best cast iron handle covers I’ve tried
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2023
As long as you are mindful of keeping the edge away from a high flame (which I’ve never had a problem with if the pan is centered over the flame and it’s not wrapping around the sides) these will work out great. I singed the edge at first and then caught on, but they were not damaged hardly at all. They also have enough room on the handle where if you have a high flame you can back them off away from the flame a little if you need. But they mold nicely to the handle since they are softer leather. They mold better than any others I’ve tried. Better than stiffer ones with a seam on the edges. My pan handles have not ever gotten too hot to hold with these even on high flame for searing a steak. And they are easily removable if you want to put the pan in the oven. They are the best covers I’ve used and want more people to buy them so they keep making them. I doubt I will have to buy more unless I get them for other people or I get more pans because I’ve had them for a year and I don’t think anything is going to happen to them.

For reference, I have mostly Lodges, a 6”, 10.5” 12” and a 10” with a long flat wide handle, and a 8” vintage Wagner. I bought the longer one (I think 5.5”) for the long handle and it works fine with a nice tight fit.
