If you were here I'd make one for you somehow. I'd use velcro on it so it would be easy to attach.Bratfinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18199795989064872696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-68192882848675104762016-06-10T04:29:58.548+09:002016-06-10T04:29:58.548+09:00Just a bit of perspective:

If it's a back pocket, you can inadvertently snap the phone in half when you sit down. If it's a side/hip pocket, your phone can either get scraped by your keys or quietly demagnetize the credit cards in your wallet. (I know there was a "Mythbusters" episode that concluded you'd need a super-powerful magnet to damage your credit cards, but my own experience while walking out west was that your phone produces a field strong enough to mess up hotel key cards, which means, to me, that there's potential to damage other cards as well.) Also, if your phone ends up sitting against the fold of your hip while in your hip pocket, it can again get crushed when you sit down (in my case, anyway). So I prefer to keep my phone in my chest pocket, if I'm wearing a shirt with one. After one horrific toilet incident involving a much earlier phone, I've learned to press my hand against my chest to hold my phone in my pocket whenever I bend over.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-4061492781885291692016-06-09T10:41:26.974+09:002016-06-09T10:41:26.974+09:00I guess a pants pocket solution is not viable?I guess a pants pocket solution is not viable?Charleshttp://www.liminality.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-63126664409731485292016-06-09T06:14:44.867+09:002016-06-09T06:14:44.867+09:00Outstanding!
