iPhone belt case

[Aspen20]

Belt cases for cell phones are usually ugly monstrosities, and normally I wouldn't get caught dead with one. However I'm resigned to having to get a belt case for my iPhone because I have just enough stuff to carry to be too much for pockets, but not enough that I want to deal with carry a man purse.

Has anyone here found an iPhone belt case that looks good and is not overly expensive?

I find my trouser pocket works quite well.

And that's just the jeans.

Here's a hint:

Carrying something on your belt is a 10x worse crime than those jeans.

At what point are you carrying enough that the man purse comes into play?

Seriously, do you wear a coat every day? If so, maybe use the coat pockets for either the phone or the wallet or something. There's a small, lower pocket on many coats that your keys can go into, wallet in the back or front pocket, iphone in the inner breast pocket (?). What else ya got?

I haven't seen any belt case that looks good.

Unfortunately I'm often not able to wear a jacket (e.g. if I'm in Florida in summer), so it doesn't take much to fill up pockets. Two sets of keys (car keys are the worst offenders here), a wallet bulging with change and a cellphone are enough by itself. Throw in one of two more odds and ends and you get to thinking that maybe those belt cases aren't so bad after all. I just might do it.

Talk me down here, people.

I'll thinking about it.
My previous belt for ladies could added i-phone case with no problem.

There's your problem..... get a credit card holder and use credit/debit cards everywhere. I have not used bills or coins in well over a year, and that's just as far back as I can remember. Seriously.

And ditch all unnecessary keys. You only drive 1 car at a time, so why take multiple car keys? I have 1 drawer at work that I had fitted with a combination lock, and every day, I throw into that drawer the rest of my work-related keys - laptop docking station key, the key that opens the rest of my drawers and file cabinets, etc., so that I don't have to carry them to and from work. This way, you only have 2 keys to worry about - your car key and the key to your front door.

The suggestion for a card holder is the best advice imo. I switched to a card holder/money clip combo, got rid of keys I don't use regularly and carry my cell phone in my pocket. Phone in one, keys + card holder in the other, unless I'm wearing a jacket.
