i wear mine on the hip in an incase folio, sometimes it can bother me but i would rather that then get dusty and bulk my pockets up. I do however slide it from the hip side to the front for more protection.
 
Used to put stuff on my waistline when I wore scrubs to work all the time (no pockets). Now that I dress up with normal clothing with pockets, I ditched the belt clip on case. I hated how it looked, just had no other choice at the time. :D
 
I'm ever so pleased to see most agree with the wankyness :D

It's not surprising since this is a product that many people buy solely because they are obsessed with their image and fitting in with others who are obsessed with a similar image. It's a great product but honestly...look at the thread where people are talking about how they bought the phone because it was a status symbol. I was born prior to 1980 and I don't feel the need to impress anyone so I'm mostly immune to the image concerns, although I wouldn't be caught dead in a fanny pack or wearing black socks with shorts. :)

on that same note if it's in ones pocket people don't know they even have an iPhone. Maybe it's the douchebags who where it with the clip that want the attention :p.
 
ditto the belt comments.



When I am in work it goes inside my suit jacket pocket.

Anyone remember the gun holster phone case that Gareth from 'The Office' wore?

said it all for me !

Actually I have an old BBerry that my work provide (we are so up to date I think this thing runs on diesel) I Occasionally (only very occasionally) have this on a clip on my work trousers. In my defence I make sure that it is round the back and under my suit jacket so no-one can see, and I only do it as the bloomin thing is so thick and bulky it ruins the hang of my suit when it is in my pocket (and I only wear it when I am at an exhibtion or standing for several hours)


EDIT: Does this make me a BBerry douche? isnt douche french for shower. I know its a bad thing to be a douche but why is it a bad thing to be a french shower?
 
Pocket. I see wearing a phone on a belt almost like walking around everywhere with a stupid bluetooth headset in the ear. It's 2008...having a cellphone is about as 'cool' as being from California. Nobody cares anymore, and drawing attention to it makes you look like a dumba**.

*disclaimer - I'm from California, so I can call myself a dumba**. Not that I like to advertise being from there. Except in this thread. Which of course makes me a dumba**.

hah!
you're a Dumba**:D:D:D
I'm a Douche:eek::eek:
Any other people with derogatory d's?
 
I've got several others, but even with masking some of the letters, I still might get booted from here if I string them together. :)

I'm intrigued.

It is interesting that something as simple as putting a phone in a belt clip can make us pass judgement on the sort of person someone is. I am incredibly guilty of this myself. I even laughed myself senseless when a friend got an iphone after weeks of deliberating and he came in wearing it on a belt clip. My missus cut him down with a well timed "w*nk*r" as he pulled it out of the clip.......
It seemed to burst his bubble somewhat.

I know. I am a bad person.
 
Pocket for sure; no need to show off the fact that you have an iPhone anymore than necessary. Having a belt clip is as bad as wearing a fanny pack, and carries the same reputation as wearing a Bluetooth headset in public.
 
Haha you guys are kinda mean lol. Anyway.. I agree with some of the people here. It's mostly the person's preference. I wear mine in my pocket probably only because I wear casual clothes like jeans and shorts. But I think it's better to wear it in a folio on my belt if im wearing dress pants. Otherwise you'd just see this bulge bouncing around in your pants... O_O
All the girls will be lookin...
 
So everyone thats carrying it in the pocket do you have a case or skin ?
If so what brand ?

I have the Zagg front, and bodyguardz back.
