I'm looking for a leather pouch style case like the Sena below for my Gold iPhone. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm looking for one as well for my 5s and keep coming back to the Sena. Looks good, doesn't seem to add much bulk and seems to get good reviews. Can't seem to find anything else that comes close.
 
I love my Sena! I had one on my 3G and have had one on my 4S since Day One. Very nice case...

I have never tried them myself but have been eyeing these for a while now.

Will an iPhone in a Magpul fit in this case? Any other suggestions for a leather pouch that will work with the Magpul?

I'm not sure. That setup might be too big for the Crumena.

The Crumena for iPhone 5 is on sale right now at Amazon for about $14-$15.

Edit: I remember purchasing the Crumena for the Galaxy Nexus (obviously wider than the iPhone 5). So I put my iPhone 5 and Magpul case in it and fit perfectly. The pull tab works fine with that setup too lol.

I also tried putting my iPhone 5 with the Diztronic case in the Galaxy Nexus Crumena and it also fits perfectly.

Any pouches like these that have a clip on one side for your pocket? Something like what a pocketknife has?

I'd like it to stay in place and not sink down my pocket.
 
Here are a few I found:

Those look awesome!! Gonna go check their site out now...


Looks good too.. Now I have some decisions to make!
 
CalypsoCase is by far the best. And I've tested many sleeve pouches before.

I had a Beyza, and although it was great for a couple of months, after that the stitching came apart and the leather all went shiny (it was originally matte). :(

At the moment I'm still using my Crumena I bought at launch last year. It's a nice case, but the pull tab does separate over time.

My dad has a Proporta pouch and I have to say it's very nice. Still in great condition and has an aluminium plate in the case to protect the screen. I'd check it out.

I can see the structure to smooth out after some use. Like the edges are already, after all it's genuine leather. But the stitching on my new one is flawless, don't see any problems coming from here.
 
I will be getting this one.

I am now using a dodocase durable wallet and its perfect, its made of the best material, specially the inside part, that its made with a very soft material that it doesnt scratch the phone (bezel). I higly recommend it...

My orange Sena UltraSlim Classic just arrived and I'm very happy with it so far! It offers just what I wanted: protection both front and back and a quick and easy way to slip the iPhone in and out on those occasions when I want to use a case -- at home the iPhone is naked, no case.

My colorful new case:

You might want to check out Fortte cases, as they have pouch-style, too, similar to what is shown above in Matt's post. I have an old Fortte case that I had been using that is finally ready for retirement.
Take a look at what Fortte has to offer:

I had an ikonic edge on my iPhone 4S but had terrible trouble with one for my 5. The first one was very loose and the iPhone would just fall out. Took over 6 weeks for delivery. Then they sent me another (better but not as good quality as the 4s one) but took 2 months to arrive! I got my 5 on launch day but it was Christmas before I got the second one. They've really gone downhill. Don't know if better this year?

I got one for the 5 that came with faulty stitching, i sent photos but they wouldn't send me a new one, wanted it back to fix which would of taken a month and at my cost. Told them to shove it and got it fixed locally. Never again. Cant even get $20 on ebay for it.

Nothing is as thin and form fitting as the Sena. Just ordered a new one.
