Default How exactly are carrying cases worn?

I've seen people wear carrying cases only a scarce amount of times, and I totally forgot how people manage to wear these.

I have a carrying case for my phone (not the Xperia), and it is so bulky! It's for the Samsung SCH-i760 btw. Anyways, so this is how I wear it: I basically use the "clip" to clip onto my belt, but I notice it is so bulky.

So when I usually wear shirts that cover almost pass the fly/zipper of my pants. And when I try to pull my shirt down to cover my pant, it covers the damn thing, and it looks like I got big tumor on the right or left side of my stomach.

So then I clip it on my pocket, it looks better, but now the pong hangs more loosely. It's kinda funny how these carrying cases rarely have a model for them to wear the carrying case, this is because companies know that it's freaking ugly to carry these things, ugly = no sales.

So if I am doing it all wrong, and if I am wrong that it's freaking ugly, then tell me this: what is the proper method of wearing these damn things?

I always wear a belt so...

With baggy shorts you can wear the phone case backwars and have the clip facing away from your body and the phone more or less in your pocket if you wish i suppose...

If you wear a suit jacket, it clips onto your pants fine and the suit covers the device without looking like you have a "tumor"

If you ever have to take your suit jacket off...well, then you have a device clipped onto the side. But with proper slacks and tie, it doesn't really look out of place.

From what I have noticed, most people who use these kind of cases are the ones who tuck in their dress/button-up shirts.

I use the sonyE generic case
it got a clip but mainly keep it in my pocket
as it's kinda hard to get off when I put it on
the side of a pair of pants

and don't even get me started on having it on a pair
of boxer shorts :P
hhhmm ok i may be a jerk but i'm a jedi jerk like my father was before me
BTW "I can't use a skeleton arm with that"

I wish I dared wearing one clipped on the belt every day... it is so practical, esp when you like me always have the shirt tucked into the jeans/trousers. But it looks kind of silly, right? So I only use it when I travel and really need it because I then carry several phones, plus it's a pain if the phone drops out of the pocket when your'e cramped into a small taxicab in some foreign place.

I don't mean to sound racist or anything but it looks good on white people but bad on asians...

I am asian btw, and it looks so awful on me.
