I guess it's a good thing I've got a pocket for just my phone then. And this next question detracts from the topic somewhat, but the phone isn't too difficult to carry in pocket is it? I haven't had a phone larger than the ICON, so its difficult to imagine how a phone that big would feel in pocket day to day.
I always take a cautious approach, and depending on what I am doing, I try to accommodate all possible hazards.
I usually wear cargo shorts and pants, putting the phone in one of the thigh pockets. I have in some case had to put the phone in my front pocket – but I don’t like to, nor do I make it a habit. AND, I never, never put it in my back pocket (afraid I will crack the screen when sitting, although one poster wrote that the screen on the 950XL had some flex to it…I just try not to put it to the test).
When I am on the Jobsite, I use the Canvas Pouch to put the phone in (screen facing out, so if I were to smash the phone against something or drop it from high, the clip on the back of the pouch doesn’t puncture the screen). I also make sure that I put my belt through the loop of the pouch, and don’t rely on clip because it is not fool proof enough. I also leave it in the pouch when stowing it in the work vehicle I’m in, so I can’t accidently throw something on top of it (added plus, I can put the phone in the pouch, upside down so that the usb-c charging port is available…then I can charge and protect at the same time.
When I Fly, I put the phone in a backpack, or briefcase (usually use the VALKYRIE Flip Slim Wallet) and always bring the canvas pouch for emergencies at my destinations.
Around the house, I use the VALKYRIE, it adds just the right amount of protection (dogs’ tails awaggin) and looks the nicest, of the cases I currently have. Of course, I am still looking for the ultimate case.
