What do you carry your Tilt/Tytn 2 in?

What is your preferred method of carrying around your phone?

I use a belt clip. I find it keeps the phone well protected, plus it makes it easier to get it when I'm sitting down, then if were in my pants pocket. I also really like the clip I'm using, It has a holder for an extra stylus, an SD card, and a credit card, which makes it very practical.

Nevermind the device itself, what about the things that go with it
I find the original HTC case clipped to my belt is fine for the TyTN II itself or otherwise I just put it uncased in my shirt pocket. As far as carrying all the other bits and pieces to go with it though, I'm unable to find anything really suitable so I've started this thread over in the General Accessories forum.

A old 3G iPod belt case. Slips in easily, looks better than the AT&T "purse" case on the belt.

ouch.. never thought of carrying it there!!!!

15 dollar "knock off" iphone case I found at Target last year. Magnetic catch, swivel belt clip. Works perfectly.

I'm with you there Sparrowhawk, toss it in my pocket.....

I third the pocket although my nice one I do keep in an oem HTC belt case

Had it in my pocket but I broke it when I bumped into a metal rail. I'm afraid this could happen again so easily. I need to start putting the screen facing inward against my leg.

Dockers made to tote the tilt
I purchased Dockers with a lower thigh zip pocket designed for a phone. That's right, I purchase my wardrobe around my phone.

I put mine in a metal case then put it in my pocket so as not to break the screen.

pants pocket...back cover facing outwards...camera lens cover on the back cover WILL definitely get scratched within a month of such usage but i just can't/won't use a belt clip
i have a strap tethered to the device and that dangles out my pocket so it is easier to pull the device out when needed

I've got one of these things to tote all my gadgetry. Works like a charm! ^_^

that thing came with my store bought TYTN 2 but i can't/won't/don't use it cuz i can't stand it when i have to keep things outside my pants pockets...guess i'll sell that htc branded belt clip case for the even lower price of $19.99

Simply kept in my pocket, battery cover facing outwards to protect the screen from damage. I have an anime cell phone charm attached to the end of the phone, so that dangles out of my pocket for easier access.

Car mount with clamp?

Hi,
I'm looking for a car mount that has a clamp on it. I've tried ebay, amazon and google, but all I can find are car mounts that use either suction, vent clips, bicycle handle bar attachments, or cup holder attachments.
All I need is a simple clamp.
The only one I can find is the trident AMS attachment, but there is no AMS case for this device. I was looking forward to the Kraken until they cancelled it.
TIA,
-PW

I want that one on the infomercial with the zillion suction cups on it.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note II.

I have the Exogear carmount, it uses a clamp but the suction cup sucks onto a lot of surfaces. What you could do is use it on reverse, so clamp it onto the object and then suction cup your phone lol - the suction is pretty strong so I wouldn't worry abot it falling..not sure if the clamp is strong enough to hold the entire thing in place though.
http://www.amazon.com/Exomount-Universal-Car-Mount-Black/dp/B004Z8ZLOS

I recommend the Exogear Exomount too. It has a large clamp and I've been using it for quite some time now without problems. It was a bit expensive but before that I got 3 or 4 cheap mounts and they were all crap.
I use it with my Galaxy S2 with an extended Momax battery (phone becomes quite heavy) with no problems. Very adjustable and strong, you can rotate to use the phones vertically or horizontally. It will be slightly shaky as most mounts and it is firm enough (except perhaps if you want to film pro-quality HD movies from the dashboard).
I remove it often to avoid theft attempts but so far it has never lost suction.
I also use it to hold my TomTom 25 stand-alone GPS. The TomTom is even larger and heavier (134 x 95 x 20 mm, 216 grams), but again, no problems as the clamp goes wide and the suction is good.
They are also compatible with many devices, due to the clamp system. Just be sure not to get the suction area dirty, if you remove it often.
I'm about to buy a Note 2 and am quite sure it will hold it very well too.
The one I have is exactly this one below. The clamp opens a lot more than shown with the iphone.

Exomount 2 does not seem to have vent mounting capabilities. For those that prefer a clip-type holder that mounts to a vent, this is a similar solution for less than half the price of the Exomount 2:

Walmart and Office Depot carry some that are the sticky stuff. I have one in my Element that holds my note with the defender case.

My luck I'd hit a big ass bump and my phone would hit the floor with the back cover still stuck to the suction cup.

Can anyone verify that all of these do work with the GN2? They all say in the product description that they work with phones up to 5" screens.

Indeed they do work. I have an Otterbox Defender and the clip works with that case too.

Made For Xperia Case - Not fitting properly?

Guys,
I got myself an Xperia SP a couple of days back and as part of the promotional offer by Sony, I got a free "Made For Xperia" flipcover case with it. Its supposedly worth 1,899INR (says so on the box) but while the covers texture feels nice, the quality doesn't feel that good. Anyways- quality aside, the phone is a tight tight fit but that doesn't bother me as much as the cover not closing shut properly.
I have a Transformer Infinity and my mom has a Note 2 and both of our flip covers lie flat on the screen instead of awkwardly resting like this. So I wanted to ask- is this normal? Not just for the SP but do all Made For Xperia cases rest like this? Even if I push it down, it pops back up. The only way I can get it to rest slightly is by pulling the case outwards to the right side of the phone and even then it still pops up by a millimetre.
Attaching some pics to show what it looks like- Click Me!

Which cases have you bought? Any flip-cover ones?

currently its new and is of hard material ... after a day or two's use ...it will soften and fit properly..

With around a month usage It will become normal

I have the original flip cover, the clear s-line tpu case, the case-mate "barely there" case and another blue tpu case.
I have a white XSP.

Agree completely with @satishynd. I am also using the same case... it rests perfectly flat after some use.

hey ....one question though..
does your covers/cases kind of auto-operate screen when kept in pocket??
countless times i've noticed apps opened, numbers dialed ..automatically when kept in pocket (mobile mounted on case/cover obtained from flipkart.com)

Disable Glove Mode in Display Settings. Chances are it is interfering with your flip cover.

Thanks guys. I'll give this cover time to settle down. Hope it fits better after a while.

Had same problem, got my cover from mobilefun.co.uk.
After some days of use the cover set up and now fits fine.

I just bought for 8 dollars a hard case and it doesn't fit the phone from the one side. What can I do?

Ditch the online buy method and buy a case in a smartphone shop(operator shop-Tele2,T-Mobile,VIP...).It does cost 2$ more,but it fits the phone,and you can try it there.

[Q] How will you carry your Nexus 6?

Hi,
I'm a bit cross with Google for offering only the "Whale-Sized" option of the new Nexus.
Now, I'm thinking about whether I should buy it or not.
My main problem isn't even holding or using such a big device, it's mainly about how to actually carry it around with me. And I'd like to hear how you plan to handle this.
So far, I've always used a leather holster with a belt clip. This worked quite well, but for my Galaxy S4 it was already a bit...much. The holster is pretty big and not exactly unobtrusive. Now, the Nexus 6 is quite a bit bigger than the S4, so I think a leather holster probably would look even nore ridiculous...
But what other options are there? The phone should be protected, but still easy to grab at any time. Putting it in a backpack is out of the question, trouser pockets won't work (never worked for me with the S4 either). What else is there?
Thanks!

My left front jeans pocket, where I always put my phone. In the right is my wallet, keys, and change.

Much like ive carried any other phone,in my pocket. Probably in the same way millions of others are carrying their iphone 6 plus too.
Non issue.
I should be visiting other forums of lesser phones asking them how its actually possible to see anything on their measly screens
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Front left pocket, as always. I'm not concerned about fashion and I wear baggy pants, so it's not an issue.

I know I will have to get some new jeans because even with my N5, my front pockets are too tight for it.

Front left pocket. I can fit an 8 inch tablet in my back pockets so this in my front won't be a problem. Regular jeans.

Been carrying my Note 2 in my left front pocket for two years. This shouldn't be much of a problem.

I carry Verizon note 3 in rear pocket jean pant or in cargo pant without any problem.

Mainly in a maxpedition organizer with other items. I did a video on this for my current nexus 5:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8EozLbZDnc
Will definitely do the same with the nexus 6 and the bigger organizer

Looks cool, Does this bag can be in landscape hanging on the belt?

@Peteret
I think it would take too long to get the phone out of there... Also, where do you put that pouch then? Belt?

I typically only wear slim fitting jeans or pants and I've never had a problem putting any phone (currently a G3) or my Nexus 7 in any of my pockets.

In my pocket? That's the only logical place to put s phone. It's not much bigger than my old Note 3 so no big deal I like big phones because you can do so much more

belt clip case ftw. never carried any phone ive ever owned any other way. never will carry any phone any other way

The same place I carried my Note 2, note 3 and every other device I've owned.
Right front pocket.

Well, I wear regular stretch jeans, and whenever I sit down with S4 in my pocket it feels lije it's going to break. Also, no way to pull it out of the pocket when I'm sitting. No idea what kind of pockets you have...

how big is the note 9

Hi all I'm thinking of getting an pre ordering S10 plus but I'm worried it will not fit in my pocket and I will have to always put it in my bag I know the note 9 is even bigger then the S10 plus so wanted to know how big the phones really are and how you note 9 owners get on with the larger form factor. In short I besically want to know if the note 9 and S10 plus can fit in my pocket.

the note 9 fits in my pocket!

While it does fit in my jeans, it's a pretty snug fit. Most of the time I end up taking it out of my pocket before sitting down to avoid putting excess stress on the frame - wouldn't want to bend or break it now would we?

I just put it in my front jeans pocket.

What phone are you currently using?
Here's GSM Arena's comparison tool,try it out,shows all the specs of any given phone,including external dimensions:

Or,drop by a Best Buy near you,the one in my area already has demo units available.

That'd be my pick out of all of the S10's,just for the flat display alone.

I have the Note 8, which is roughly the same dimensions as the Note 9 only slightly thinner as the Note 9 has a larger 4000MaH battery. I can fit it into my jeans pocket, but it is very uncomfortable to walk around with it in my pocket. I have a LD West Holster, which I use during the warm weather. I would recommend that you get a holster for it as it makes carrying the Note 9 allot more manageable.

A holster??? I thought they were left in 1995?

I hear fanny bags are making a comeback. A holster does feel more appealing to me than a man purse though.
Back on topic: Prepare to include large pockets as a criteria when purchasing pants. Yes, the Note 9 is that big.

fits fine in my chinos and jeans.
In my work pants and dress pants however a corner of the phone is always sticking out and visible.

Can't speak for the s10+, but my note 9 is totally manageable even with one hand (especially with oneUI) and it is more comfortable in my hand + for prolonged use (by a lot) vs my previous s7e. Fits my pocket too, tho you will have a hard time to tie your shoes ties if you don't pull out the phone. I can, for example, drive with it in my front pocket. Overall a comfortable phone to use, especially given it's size. Mostly for two hands usage tho.

Phone shoulder holsters, awe lawd have mercy. I'd sooner don a man bag or murse.

The only pants I have a problem with is my Dickies. A corner sticks out of the pocket, and it is prone to sliding out of my pocket when I'm playing video games and have my feet propped up.

Fits a treat in my cargo pants... ??
