wow, i feel so dumb now. i have always carried my cell on my belt. but now that things are getting bigger it does look a tad odd. when i was issued a BB and i wore it on my belt and it took time getting use to that. but then again i carry concealed when i'm out and about so i'm use to weight on my belt.

gosh if i can get a pic from my iPhone you guys would love to see some of the guys i work with. BB, some have iPhones OR personal cells, and pager(s) all on their belts. now i agree that looks wanky. but at the office almost every male has a cell on their hip. its like wearing your watch... just another tool on your person.

I admit I have put cells in my pocket but something about that "feeling" i don't like. Plus all the lint/dust. It always got under the screens of my past cells when I did that.
 
I used to carry it on my belt, but then it would always get in the way of taking off my belt to beat the crap out of my kids when they deserved it.
 
I use the revo iskin2 and a heavy duty case with a leather loop to go around my belt. Seriously, this phone aint going anywhere and is 100% secure.
 
i'm gonna pocket it once i find a good case.

i thought about the otterbox defender but after a contractor at the office (renovating a floor) let me borrow it for an hour, the thing is a monster and I can not unholster the iPhone quick enough to answer a call :p don't get me wrong, this is an incredible case but its a bit overkill and not practical for EDC. Its huge and it feel like a gun holster. Granted i understand why the contractor uses it but he even complained that its near impossible to get to your iPhone by 1st ring and I can see the actual rubber gets in the way when you holster your iPhone.

Great looks/design but its just that.
 
I just ordered the incase leather folia and plan to carry the phone in it. Sometimes attached to my belt, sometimes in the inned pocket of my jacket. I am not interested in looks, just functionality. Carrying the phone in my pocket sounds pretty uncomfortable...
