Belt Case For IPhone?

I'm happy with my iPhone 6 except for one problem. It will not fit in a front jeans pocket. That is, it fits but then I can't sit down without the phone poking uncomfortably. Jeans pockets are not deep enough.

So I'm thinking about a belt case, that I could wear with jeans. Looking at this one
Leather iPhone Case Holster No. 48 Brown | USA Made | Col. Littleton

What is the Pelican fashion verdict? Bonus points if you are a woman or have actual fashion sense, or have consulted with a woman or someone with actual fashion sense.

So far the reaction from my sample of one is: OMG dad you can't be serious that is a total geek nerd alert.

Never in a million years. The size is why I decided not to move up to the 6.

What look are you going for? The Hipster look? The Nerdy IT? The Metrosexual? The Businessman?

Lots of options...

That's gawd awful. I just got a nice Spigen Tough Armor case and a belt clip for it. Very clean look and convenient for grabbing and replacing it. I can make the belt clip stay open as a mini easel so I can read recipes when I'm cooking.

The Spigen cases are very nice. I can't find the belt clip option for the iPhone 6 case, though.

I used to have an Otterbox Defender. I don't want such a bulky case now, but the belt clip holster part was very convenient.

I've got the same case. No belt clip. Spigen makes some nice cases.

I don't care one iota about what other people think about fashion. I have a belt clip with an Otter box for my iPhone 5. When I move to a 6 I will just get a new Otter box and I still will not care anything at all about other opinions on fashion. It is great to be a geezer and not care what other people think about me.

Do an eBay search for Spigen, iphone 6 and belt. They're out there.

I was kind of going for the Handsome Hetero but apparently I'm at risk of the Mincing Metrosexual or Gawdawful Geekoid.

Super glue it to the wrist. Right below your velcro holster with a .357.

Handsome Heteros don't clip phablets to their belts.

I think I'm going to get a leather worker to custom make a belt case. It will hold cards and cash too. So nothing, not iPhone and not wallet, need come between me and my Calvins . . .
