I have an iPhone. To protect the glass, I have a leather case. I toss this contraption into my fanny pack with my wallet. This works well. I have yet to drop or break said phone. The gottcha?
1) It's hard if not impossible to hear it ringing in noisy restaurants, bus stops, grocery stores, and highways. (The last is a blessing if I'm driving, a curse if Hubby is driving.)
2) When I do, at long last notice the vibrating and ringing, I need to unzip the fanny pack, pull out the phone, unsnap the case, flip it open, then start talking. If I'm lucky, I haven't missed the call.
3) I proceed to talk with the phone against my ear until the microwave radiation makes my ear hot, then I dig out my earbuds, untangle them, plug them into ears and phone, and at long last, I can have a conversation.
4) I have a voice that comes in right at white noise frequencies and I cannot be heard in any kind of noisy place. So the little mike that dangles from the ear wire isn't vaguely close enough to my mouth to catch what I'm saying. Currently I'm actually holding said mike up to my mouth so I can be heard. Sometime next week I hope to have the adapter so I can use my older boom style headsets with the newer iPhone jack.
Pardon me if this seems like a complicated rigmarole to go through just to talk on a phone.
Yes my case has a belt hook. I think I could carry my phone there, but I haven't ever tried. I do frequently carry the phone in a pants or jacket pocket. I always worry about sitting on it though.
