buckingham Buckingham Pa join:2005-07-17 Buckingham, PA	reply to Mike said by Mike: I don't see any belt slide cases anywhere. Am I the only person who likes this style? I carry my iPhone 4 (as with the previous models, too) in a belt holster. My primary one is from Duluth Trading and is made of buffalo leather that matches the belt it rides on. I also have a black leather one for utility use. That said, I still put a thin polycarbonate case on my iPhone to protect it from general dings, etc., as well as to make it less slippery in my hand. The combo of the holster and the thin case is what I prefer and when I someday move to the next generation device, that will also be my preference. Hopefully, the case makers will come up with a holster that accommodates the extra length...they were slow on the uptake to adjust dimensions when the iPhone 4 came out.

Am I the only person who likes this style? Sure seems that way. Personally, I have been using my iPhones naked in a leather slip case I made 5 years ago. Besides the cushioning from keys & coins, an additional benefit is that every time I pull it out of the slip case, it is clean with zero finger prints or smudges. It always looks beautiful like the day it was purchased. My nice soft pocket is my case. My jeans all have iPhone rectangles permanently faded into them now.

Unfortunately, that's one of the "best" ways folks have found to crack their screens...wayward furniture corners and so forth. Several friends and family members have experienced that!

Mike Premium,Mod join:2000-09-17 Pittsburgh, PA kudos:1 Reviews: ·Verizon FiOS Host: W.O.W. FairPoint World of Warcraft Site Tools Verizon Wireless	I would be pleased as punch if case mate released an updated one for a 5. The one for my 4 is my most favorite case, ever. No one has a useful sliding belt-clip, yet. Click cases suck, they can get dislodged. Sliding is the way to go... yet NO ONE has one. -- "If something about the human body disgusts you, complain to the manufacturer" - Lenny Bruce What this country needs is a good five dollar plasma weapon.

Mike Premium,Mod join:2000-09-17 Pittsburgh, PA kudos:1 Reviews: ·Verizon FiOS Host: W.O.W. FairPoint World of Warcraft Site Tools Verizon Wireless	reply to buckingham None of them are for a belt. Therefore they mean nothing to me. I don't understand how people can just throw a phone in your pocket and hope for the best. -- "If something about the human body disgusts you, complain to the manufacturer" - Lenny Bruce What this country needs is a good five dollar plasma weapon.

I don't understand how people can just throw a phone in your pocket and hope for the best. I do agree with that. While I use a thin case on the phone itself, my iPhone lives in a belt holster whenever I'm awake and not actually holding it in my hand. Pockets are likely the primary reason for cracked screens in my observation...especially pants pockets. And we know how things easily fall out of shirt pockets...like my reading glasses do all too often.

zeejay join:2011-12-14	reply to Nezmo Ditto... Other than a bit of protection, I feel like another thing people go for nowadays is style.... If any of you guys use tumblr, you'd see a bunch of hipster/scene girls posing with custom iphone 5 cases like the ones from »www.zazzle.com/iphone5+cases or »pinterest.com/search/?q=iphone+cases Honestly, I miss the days of Nokia tho ;D
