+1. Cell phone on the belt is the modern equivalent of the pocket protector....!

Belts are for guns, pockets are for cell phones.

Problem: the thick belt causes the holder to pop up and off - I'll lose the phone any day now. Suggestions?
The solution is very simple. Go to a Western store or many clothing stores and purchase a leather cell phone holster that has a metal clip that easily will attach to your belt. It should hold almost any brand cell phone very securely. In all truthfulness, I am surprised to hear that this is a problem and that you are not aware of the wide-spread availability of this type of cell phone holster.

shouldn't that knife be in your weak-side pocket? Anyway, I agree the best place for the phone is in your pocket. Belt phones are for office-nerds

And feed-lot nerds, and trucker nerds, lawyer nerds, etc. We use our phones much more frequently than our treasured "fighting" knifes. I carry my phone on one side, my knife on the other, and a small utility knife in the pocket [plus keys, coins, copenhagen, etc.]

Just another Nerd!

Hey, I resemble that remark.

When you wear slacks and are forced to use a thicker, company phone, you don't have a choice other then belt carry.

I can draw much faster with the cell phone on my belt. Also, the antenna snags if I carry it in my pocket. If I pocket carry it produces a bulge and it can get scratched by my keys. Sometimes if I just have it in my pocket it will dial numbers by itself, and we all know how dangerous an ND/AD(negligent dial/accidental dial) can be.

I realize that some of you want to conceal carry your cell phone, but I see no reason for you to call people names who choose to open carry. If it's legal in our state to open carry our cell phone, I say we should not let something like where we choose to carry divide us. As always a quality belt and a good holster will keep a cell phone from sagging or causing the dreaded AD(Accidental Dial).

I carry my phone on my belt. Yea, i agree it looks retarded, and many of chicks have probally turned and run from it (or the beard), but I like it, and thats the bottom line.
