let's admit it: it's not very comfortable in the pocket. i was wondering how are you carring it? in the pocket? with a clip-on case attached to your belt (pls share which case)? in your briefcase?
i'm still looking for the most comfortable way...
I can not carry it any place but in the trouser pocket. I have broken many belt cases or holsters.
Gramicci, a company that makes clothing for rock climbing made a pair of trousers with a pocket sewn on the right thigh for carrying GPS or cell phone and it fits the Wizard nicely. I do not know if they still make these trousers but they are my favorite....
I'm just using the clip-on case that came with my T-Mobile (US) MDA. Its plain, but does the job.
Eventually, I play to get a better case, debating between a good metal case like

or
http://www.thepocketsolution.com/Me...gory_Code=mda_iv_accessories&Product_Count=12
The latter is most likely what I'll get, as it looks like its fast to pull out, and provides adequate production, but I like the durability of the metal case.
I switch back and forth between the default Cingular 8125 belt-clip case and a PDair Aluminum case. When I use the aluminum, I carry it in my pocket. It's quite a brick with the case.
The PDair case can be seen at
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_200&products_id=2377
Honestly, both cases have their virtues. The aluminum case undeniably provides better protection. However, it also severely degrades signal quality. In order to have a conversation, I have to actually remove the the phone from the aluminum case or else the call quality is abysmal. The aluminum case also ruins the EDGE/GPRS connection. All of that said, sometimes I prefer the aluminum when I want to be sure that the phone is safe.
The belt-clip case keeps the wizard out of my pocket, but keeps me more protective of the phone while it's on my belt.
I use the case that came with my 8125. It works great, I have not had any problems with it.
Just in the pocket of my trousers. I'm not fat, so it's fit just right.
Should not be a millimiter thicker, then I got a problem.
Only problem is to get it, sometimes it's not so easy and sometimes I hit the Red (end call) button when I reach for it
Fits in my pants pocket just fine, even with the BIG extended battery. I just make sure the display is in (against my leg) which is a good idea anyway.
I also carry it in my pocket. It's not as big as I thought it would be. It's certainly bigger than a regular phone, but for a PDA phone it's not too bad. I also always make sure the screen is facing my leg, just in case something hits my leg, at least it hits the back and not the screen.
I carry it in the front left pocket of whatever pants I happen to be wearing (be it jeans at home, or khakis/dress pants at work), usually in its PDAir aluminum case. I have the same signal quality issue as everybody else, but as I barely ever talk on the phone I can keep it in the case all day long.
The only issue I have is when I'm wearing dress pants, as they're of thinner and tighter material. I've been carrying the phone w/out a case as of late (I have a screen protector on it and the housing is already beat up, so I'm not too worried), but I just ordered a leather belt clip on eBay today for when I'm at work. I'm not too worried about looking like an idiot, as pretty much anyone working here (I work for IBM) has their cell on a belt clip.
I bought this case on Ebay to use with my Cingular 8125.

When I'm at work, I use the beltclip and wear it on my belt. Other places, I throw it in my purse -- with the case MINUS the belt clip. Since I have individual ringtones assigned to certain contacts, I don't need to flip it open to see who's calling. I can just hit the answer button and start talking.
i want a case that provide full protection not just the screen and not the buttons as well i prefer it to allow the keyboard access while in case
the krussels are almost up to the job but havent yet found the perfect case as i did for my 6620
In my front pocket - but this caused a broken screen.
Yup, watch out all you pants pocket carriers. Not exactly sure how it happened. It was only in there for a few mintues (pants pocket in my jeans) and when I pulled it out it was shattered.
A bit of a pain to get it fixed too, these are the options I've come up with:
$169 USD - http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~u...pairs-Full+Service+Repairs~item~IMT-LCD03.htm
Over $300 USD - http://www.apexlaptops.co.uk/
Luckily I bought it on good old VISA so will be calling in the 90 day buyer protection feature. You gotta love how our society protects us from our own stupidity.
Cheers.
Looks like I'll stay with the trouser pocket for awhile. They should design clothing with a pocket for these things, they ain't going away....
And thanks for the tip on the Aluminum cases. I'm not pleased with the signal strength on my 8125 as is so the AL case won't help.
And hello to all, I'm totally new to these devices but I like my 8125 so far.
Trouser pocket usually when I'm wearing shorts (bigger pockets, not in the aluminum case). When I'm wearing jeans, it's almost always in its aluminum case hanging from my pocket if I'm not wearing a belt, belt if I am wearing a belt. Sitting at my desk at work, it's usually out of the aluminum case unless I'm wandering over to the other building. Then it winds up in either my back pocket, or the aluminum case. And no, I don't forget that it's there when it is in my back pocket.
After my first 8125 went overboard, I ditched the stock case that came with it and purchased a Sedio holster. This thing is indestructable. I caught my 8125 on the boat's lifeline the other day and I damn near went overboard..... :roll:
In a zipped front pocket of my bag (over the shoulder rucksack-y thing)
Not enough space in the pockets of women's jeans!
I use a small (ripstop nylon) digital camera belt case from Tamrac that I got from Circuit City. The case that comes with it is okay for dress, but I don't like the way it leaves the corners of the devise exposed.
I bought the case from Krusell. Everything matches great, I can use all Buttons, there's a little pocket for another MiniSD-Card and the clip-system allows more ways to fix it somewhere. Usually I wear it on my belt.
But it matches only with the standard back (not with extended battery).
I am currently using the magnetic clasped case that came with the device and that has seen me to Japan and then to Scotland, so it seems to work. It has spent most of its time in my trouser pocket and occasionaly in my bag. The only problem is that it's not particulalry easy to use it from inside the case - it takes time to get it out. Also, I didnt use the belt clasp on the side of the case which generally makes the whole thing too bulky. If that was not on there it might be a worthwhile case.
I have also carried it around for short periods with no case on it (which makes it easy to get out, use and then put away), but I was worried of breaking the screen (which has a screen protector to stop me from worrying about getting it scratched).
I did order an aluminium case which was meant to arrive before my trip to Japan, but it didn't. Should finally get to pick it up in August and I am hoping it will be sufficiently small (ie, with no "useless" clasp on the back) for me to use it instead of this leather thing.
Am also planning on getting my old phone unlocked so I can use it as a temporary phone when I need to go somewhere where there is a greater risk of me damaging the phone or greater need for it to be smaller (like black tie events).
I didn't use to use anything. Just carried it in my pocket but after going from a Razr to the Vario, it was strange having something so comparatively bulky.
Since my screen broke and I had to pay to have it fixed, I've been using the magnetic case with belt clip the phone came with. A shirt of t-shirt generally falls loosely over it so it doesn't stand out much.
Would only beinterested in a different case if it were thinner than the standard case.
I have a black htc p3600 that is great, everything except the fact that it is a fingerprint magnet. Am I the only that finds himself constantly cleaning their device? I put some egrips on the side of the device and they turned out really nice, they give you that extra grip. I love the black finish but am becoming obsessed with alcohol squares in my pocket for my phone.
switch colours..,,
Too long a tale... I ended up returning my black Trinity to the store, just to find that only white ones remained availble at the time. I decided to keep one for a few days until blacks where available. Finally I stay with the white one, happy enough: no fingerprints, no peeling, quite happy!
I bought a white one because of the paint peel and the finger print problem. I have a Nintendo DS that has exactly the same issue.
The glassy look seems to be in at the minute and finger prints is the price we pay for the trendy look.
I ended up putting my trinity in a silicon cover because i developed a grip problem in my hand. Now I've no problem with the finger prints and stuff. - An ok solution as long as you dont mind camoflaging your PDA in the next best thing to a condom
The silicon covers are a great product, cut just nice for all the important access holes and the button shappes are well replicated. I ended up slightly enlarging the jog dial hole though.
I still hate the greasy marks on the scren though, particularily after a lot of phone use!!
As the dog is dead, the bark stops.
Sillicon may be a solution, but only in the way of keeping the Trinity value for a resell,,, it's like having a Ferrari and keeping it covered to avoid paint scraps..... Com'n!, Some things are designed to be exhibited! I-pods, Ferrari, Trinitys.... stick with Siemens phones otherwise.....
Hi,
Excuse me but a pdaphone is not a piece of moderne art, it's an electronic device...with a lot of coms and software utilities... It might be a lot beautifull but not to venerate like a catholic icone...
Personnaly, i use a Piel-frama leather cover for shock preventing and that's all. Il like my 3600 for wath it make for me and not for it looks like...
silicon skin case
i always use silicon skin case as i change my phone evry two month i like to keep it clean for resell lol
I originally bought the silicon cover because i have MS and have a grip problem with my left hand, the silicon cover sorts the prob.
Before I purchased it, i found myself giving it a wipe now and again. I even used alcohol wipes too.
Yes its a phone / PDA and thats what we bought it for. BUT why cant it look good as well!!!!
I used to walk around with a brick of an XDAIIi to my ear and took some serious stick. So now I've got a half decent looking phone that works well - hapy days!!!
The clear silicon cover only takes a wee bit of the look off, but its worth it for the function - keeping it clean, gripable and unscratched ready for sale when I upgrade next.
The Piel frama cover - good piece of kit.
I put it in my pocket and walking around rubs it clean, ha ha
I tend to destroy my pdas. no resale for me
wear a glove to hold ur Trinity ! haha! just joking.
i usually will use a microfibre cloth to clean my Trinity, works well to take away the fingerprints and oily surface.
I use monster iClean to clean it, and use an ipod sock when i put it on my pocket.
No pun intended...

Not icon-centric, but I know people trashing 500€ worth of electronics every 6 months just for keeping the phone "free" in the same pocket as keys, coins, etc.
On the other hand, I myself am the type that keeps every plastic bag coming in the shipping box for months.
However, when I got my Trynity, it has been the first HTC device in a long time (it's my 10th HTC device) that I can show to friends and not looking just a "friky". Trinity is a lot on the i-pod side, this is what I meant (not for the catholic icons....)
Piel frama enclosures, as the one shipping on the Himalaya.. (anyone here remembers?) made me feel ..... well, strange, with about half a pound of a gadget in my ear.... Bluetooth stack never worked well in the original model.
My grain of salt: carry whatever you like, but being shiny and clean at the same time is near impossible. So.... enjoy the envious gazings at your Trinity until the i-phone comes out!
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
& PDAir's Aluminum case http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000164&products_id=6561
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.

I've used this case for a long time (had a similar one for my Wizard) and really like it:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000164&products_id=6562
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:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000164&products_id=7423#thumb
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
Well I know this question is really dumb but just wanted to know how you all fellow HD2 owners carry your phone..???
Well the I LOVE my LEO but it doesn't fit in my pocket as it is HUGE, so I always have to keep it in my college bag..!!!
How do you carry your HD2..???
I keep mine in jeans at all times - front right pocket without the problem. I'm 6.3 and about 210-220lbs - driving, moving, running - no difference for me between my old nokia e71 and new HD2... I also keep it in pocket at work when I wear dress pants - even weight is not that bad! - LOVE THE PHONE!!!
Ocassional reset? Who does not reset these days lol
Stop wearing those skinny jeans, LOL
It fits in my pocket, but I much prefer to carry it without the gel case that came with the phone, as it makes it bulkier and a bit um... sticky. I usually wear carpenter jeans, with a phone pocket on the right leg. Without the case, it just fits in that phone pocket! FWIW
Fits in my slim jeans around college no problem, regular waist.
Fits fine in my jeans..actually feels lighter and better in my pocket than any phone ive ever owned including iphone and the motorola droid.
It fits everything I wear.... seeings how big men's pockets are in America. I can fit my entire TI 84 I use for school in most of my pockets lol.
If you're a girl, well that's another story...
I carry mine about in a shopping trolley.
Fits better than my N95 ever did.................
Never had any problem carrying my HD2 around. Slips into my jeans pocket easily.
For ladies? 9/10 of them carry their phones in their handbags. Size doesn't matter I guess..
fine in all my pockets!
I keep mine in my crotch
But seriously, fits fine in my jeans pocket with a PDair case!
pocket
Front right pants pocket, with Imagnum case, no problem.
It fits in my pants pocket and shirt pocket..Just be careful leaning over
Luckly, had the reflexes of a cat and caught it as it decided to take
a dive...but, thanks for insurance..didn't need it that time but,,...
fits fine in my 31" waist 506's either pocket -with silicon case or plastic car holder mount.
It's so thin it's fine. It's a bit of a bulge, but it means people stare more at my phone rather than my errr....sock draw.....
As for resets - my netgear router has a firmware feature where it resets at 3am every night. My nokia E65 would automatically crash and soft reset itself every 72hours or sooner.
At least my HD2 does not soft-reset until I tell it to!!!!
Easily, my Archos 5 Android is bigger and has ample room as well. Its so slim. Its the fatties that are difficult to pocket! Like the Tytn 2!
I have to wear skinny/slim jeans to work and HD2 has always fitted into my pocket, albeit a tight fit sometimes.
My HD2 fits in my pocket very easily.
32" waist shorts, never had an issue fitting any of my phones in my pockets.
Is that a HD2 in your pocket or
My wife asked me "Is that a HD2 in your pocket or are you happy to see me?"
I am trying to figure out what she meant?
On an avg everyone keeps their HD2 in pocket with any casing I presume..!!!

Yeah, I THOUGHT that'd get your attention.
This is probably one of the stupidest questions you'll see, but here goes..
How do you CARRY the Note4? I have NEVER carried my phone in a pants pocket EXCEPT I have slid it into a cargo pocket when wearing cargo shorts in the summer time. I wear a lot of shirts without pockets or, since it's winter, I might be wearing a sweater... no pockets. Do holsters work for this? Never used a holster either. ..
hmmmm...
my wife tosses her S5 into her purse. I don't have a purse.
So where do you carry YOURS?

hi ,
i carry mine in a "moon bag "( @ fanny pack @ waist wallet @ belly bag @ bum bag ...etc )
if i go somewhere and i have either, my Gear watch
connected or Plantronic bluetooth headset connected ( i have an third party app " eCID" on phone ,
that is set to read full sms 's or announce caller id via the bluetooth headset etc ) ,
The reason ,is that i don't have to pull phone from bag,
everytime i get a call or sms ... .works for me!!
good luck
Front trouser pocket. Without a case it's small enough. With a case... forget it lol.
Front pocket, with Otterbox Commuter case. No problem. I sometime use a Targus 10 inch tablet bag to carry my GN4 and a bunch of peripherals/accessories.
Sent from my Galaxy Note 4
So far.... my jackets and coats all have some sort of breast pocket so carrying it around when we're going to the store or whatever is fine. I still have a problem when I GET somewhere like a relative's house for a party. If I don't have a shirt pocket I'm kinda carrying the darn thing around with me. I *might* make something like a "medicine bag" to carry it in. A nice, lined, leather pouch with a flap cover and something to secure the flap against inadvertently dumping the contents (like... in case you like to fly upside down or something...). Even just a couple small dots of velcro would work.
Still waiting for my Note4 to arrive, but it's about the same size as my Note3. I wear a lot of cargo pants, so there's no problem there, however on those occasions where I need to dress more formally I'll put it in my front pocket or the inner pocket of a suit jacket. Girls have it easier on this one, purses hold a lot, but I'm not yet ready to give in and start carrying one, I'll leave that to my wife.
My old boss carried his Note2 (same size) on a belt holster, I would consider doing that when I'm in uniform (people expect stuff hanging off your belt then), but the uniform has cargo pockets so I don't need to. Without the uniform people don't expect cell phones on belts any more.
