Iphone question

[DHonks]

so the tech geek in me is interested in an Iphone, but today I came up with a good question...where does a guy carry an iphone? Women carry them in their purse. Surely a man can't put his iPhone in his back pockets for fear of crushing it. But if the guy wears jeans, he also can't put it in the front pockets. So I'm left wondering "if I get an iphone, must I buy a stupid belt clip?"

You put it in your pants pocket. At least thats what I do with mine. It fits just fine

[DHonks]

yes...with khakies that works, but what about when wearing jeans? normal jeans don't allow much space for a delicate device in the side pockets, and the stress put on it in the back pocket would be incredible, I would think

[And That]

I put mine in my front pocket, even with jeans. It's not very delicate at all, at least in my experience. I've probably dropped it on the pavement a dozen times since I got it 20 months ago and I've never had a case for it. Still works just fine.

I have a cheap case off ebay and keep it in my front pocket with jeans, everything is fine.

I'll reiterate what the other guys have said. Its actually a lot more rugged than one would think. Get one of these things to protect the screen and you should be good to go. http://www.zagg.com/ I never put it in my back pocket. I put it in my front pocket and it works great. I have had mine for 5 months and I would never go back. Then again I am an Apple fan boy so...

The iPhone is far from delicate. I keep it in my front pocket at all times, jeans included. I can't speak for hot pants...

Slightly off topic, but I heard a rumor from someone fairly well connected that US Cellular will finally get the iPhone in the next six months. Anyone hear know anything about that?

[Godspeed]

There's many links on Google that say the iPhone's exclusivity contract with AT&T ends in mid-2010, so there's certainly reason to believe it could happen.

[Invader3K]

Gotcha. It would be nice to have the option at least. My brother in law just got an iPhone and he loves it.

I personally like this iphone case made by DLO. It protects the screen with a nice flip cover, and it also has a belt clip if you prefer not to keep it in your pocket. I don't have the iPhone yet, but I use this product for my iPod Touch and it protects my device very well.
