How do you carry your iphone?

I use an incase neoprene case with a screen protector mostly for fingerprints. Being my first iphone i wanted some protection because i'm prone to drop things.
 
Clad in a BestSkinEver, in my front pocket.

I had a Zagg InvisibleShield, but the design wasn't nearly as well thought-out as the BSE.
 
Front left pocket naked. I have a foofbag on order to protect from scratches when in the messenger bag and what not. Putting a case on the iPhone degrades the feeling of it in your hands and just makes it look ugly IMO. I have plenty of friends that had the 1G without cases since they've had them and they look perfectly fine. You just have to realize it's not your average cell phone and to take some care of it.
 
I use a generic leather pouch with a belt clip.. I actually found one that was big enough to work with the silicone sleeve i have on my phone.
 
Got my 3G on release day and have been going naked in my right front pocket until today. Picked up a Griffin Elan Form from my local Apple store. I ordered a Naked Case but it will take 4-6 weeks to ship but I'm just to clumsy to wait that long. The Elan Form (and similar cases) don't really add much bulk at all.

I would like to go naked, but the Naked Case is about as good as it will get for me.

Are you serious or joking? Have you seen the videos with people taking keys to the screen? I have done it myself and there is no mark on it at all, this isn't the iPod screen.

ya i've seen those videos.. the screen will still scratch though. my 1st generation iphone had scratches on the screen from god knows what, i use a case and everything. i'm guessing small bits of dirt got in between the screen and case while in my pocket and i rubbed up against something with enough force to grind that dirt into the screen

LOL
 
I bought a DLO hip case when I purchased my phone. It was the only one available in the AT&T store that fit the 3G model. I am pretty happy with it so far.

I still may get one of those skin type products because this thing is a fingerprint magnet
 
In my pants pocket...naked as the day it was born (err, activated). After one year, there is a ding in the metal back but not a single scratch on the front crystal. Gotta hand it to Apple, this is the first device I've ever owned that didn't get at least one scratch on the screen. Going with a crystal screen overlay instead of the usual goofy, flimsy plastic was a fantastic idea.

Very dangerous, because if you drop something then bend over to pick it up the iPhone will slid out of your pocket and if this is on concret....

I have ruined so many phones from this. Hospital scrubs have the worst pockets on them. Large and been worn so many times, they are stretched out. Some only have the chest pocket and the butt pocket. I chose the chest and cringe whenever stuff used to fall out (phone, pens, notes...).
 
Sena Ultraslim! It's beginning to wear in quite nicely; initially, it was sort of tight, but now perfect!

Naked front pocket and to be different always the left one :)

Well.. I do often wear a pair of slim jeans, and the iPhone doesn't quite fit in 'em.. So when I'm going out to concerts, bars etc without a jacket, bag or something and wear a pair of slim jeans, I'll have to switch my sim-card out with my old Samsung X820 :rolleyes:

Pretty annoying, but i've got used to it :)

Wow, i don't think I have seen a more gay cover... ( no offense to anyone..)

I am in the naked front left pocket too. My 1st gen was perfect for a whole year doing the same, and sold last week for $489.
 
When I bought my 3g on 7/11, I bought almost every case that the store had. It wasn't until last week, that my apple store had the agent 18 clear case. I bought it and couldn't be happier. It shows off the shiny black backing with the apple logo perfectly. I have since returned all of the other cases. Also, the agent 18 case adds very little, if any, bulk. I also have the crystal screen protector.:)
 
How do you carry your iPhone?

I cannot descide what is the best way to carry my phone. If I put it in my pocket it seems to flop around. I dont like that. I cannot find a good case like the Blackberry has. So just seeing what you do. Let me know.

Can you post a pic or link of the Blackberry case you like? Maybe there's a similar case for the iPhone

Wrong thing to do my friend. I just opened a thread warning everyone not to put any gadgets with screens in the pocket.

The pocket acts like a balloon that pumps air and dust while you move around. My new 3G is dust free after breaking this hard habit. :)

Oh and it doesn't matter if you put a skin or a case on it. The pocket can still blow dust in it. I have the Griffin Wave case which is durable enough to protect my 3G for me in case I drop it. :)
