For as often as I check my phone and have it in and out of my pocket a slip case would be so annoying.

I don't understand slip cases. While the one you posted looks nice, that would be such a royal PITA.

1. Pull sleeve from pocket
2. Detach button
3. Slide out iPhone
4. Use iPhone
5. Slip iPhone back in
6. Attach button
7. Put phone and sleeve in pocket

Err.. sorry, but no, especially when the typical person would probably have to repeat that entire process many, many times a day.

I've dropped it at least 10 times in the time I've owned that case. Its saved that phone a few times.

Ya, all of .4 seconds.

You get used to it. I dont want the phone in my pocket scraping keys, etc. Its actually a very easy system and lets you feel the real phone when you have it in your hand.

It is simple, don't put the phone in the same pocket as your keys. I keep my phone in my right flap pocket in my suit jackets. My tailor puts this inside pouch thing inside this pocket and I put my phone in it.

My main goal is to prevent drops, which I have a habit of doing. So I cant go al fresco for that reason.
