I use a belt-clip case for my iPhone, but instead of being a pouch it's a fully covered flip-front case. The case is attached to my belt through a swivel clip; the belt side of it is a full loop, so barring mechanical failure or inadvertent activation of the latch the phone can't fall off. (The latch uses a two-button "squeeze", so it's very unlikely to release without intention.)
When it rings, I can easily grab it one-handed (using my pinky/ring/middle fingers to grasp the top of the case and my index/thumb to release the latch), rotate it 180° in hand so the cover and screen don't face my palm, and flip it open.
I've had other clips fail by falling off or through mechanical failure. At this point, the only cases I'll buy use the Krusell "Multidapt" system, which allows me to swap in my belt-loop-swivel for whatever basic clip comes with the case.
Unfortunately, Marware (the company that I've used in the past for cases) has stopped selling Multidapt cases; my next one will probably be a Krusell model of some sort depending on what my next phone is.
