Pocket-friendly cases

[otheruser]

Unlike most here, I want to be able to put my Kaiser in a case, and put in my pocket. No swiveling, no clipping, and no holstering. I know the Kaiser doesn't have the most pocket-friendly form-factor, but hell, I have to make do with what I've got.

The slimmer and lighter the case, the more pocket-friendly it is.

Any recommendations?

I'm considering:


PDAir's Vertical Leather Pouch http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000164&products_id=6590

& Seido's super slim rubberized case http://www.htcforums.com/kaiser-tilt-tytn-p4550-f13/seido-slim-case-t11.html

Be very careful of the screen in your pocket. Two of your choices will not protect the screen. Good luck.

I've tried several different cases, and I too have opted to just keep the phone in my pocket. And I don't use any protective covers, but I do so with some rules.

1. NOTHING in the same pocket with it.
2. Always screen facing toward me.
3. ALWAYS be aware it is in my pocket. (IE, no bumping into anything, no leaning on anything, and no squating down and putting my phone in a bind)

I have to say after 10 months of use, it still looks almost new.

That is exactly the way i carry mine ... With the execption of when I am at work I slip it into a leather eyeglass case I found, to keep dust and grime off it.

I've used this case for a long time (had a similar one for my Wizard) and really like it:

Only downside is the top and bottom do add thickness to the phone overall, but during the summer when I'm wearing cargo shorts, it goes into my pocket nicely. Biggest downside is the case fits tight so if you are on the phone the slightest bump will tend to hang up the call (or other buttons get pressed). So now I'm looking at a new case they offer:

This leaves the buttons exposed, gives you a cover over the screen, and then with a simple unsnap you can get to the keyboard (and it appears no plastic cover over the keys like the one I have now.

I really like the Seidio Slim, but I really need a flap to cover the screen for protection (whether its in my pocket or on my belt, I just don't like the screen being unprotected). I wish the Seidio holster had a removable clip as that could be workable then...

depending on the size of your pocket, the krusell orbit works quite well

I use the seido rubberized one with a screen protector

Here, Here!! Another vote for the Orbit, it takes a few to get used to, but after dropping it twice, and not a dent.. i like it!

if im up to something where it might get bashed by accident then i use my PDAir's Vertical Leather Pouch, as it covers the screen nicely

I bought one just like the new PDAir, but it was a cheap ebay case. Best $15 I've spent - has saved the phone from a number of drops, fits really well, and still fits in my pocket (it does add bulk, but an acceptable amount and I really wanted something to cover the screen).

Everything is easily accessible, and using the keyboard is a breeze.

The only drawback is if you're slipping between a car and your pocket. I've got a metal case for it in silver (It's actually the Hermes case) that i use but most the time I don't bother. It's not been too bad. But then, I am covered by Insurance :D
