Ever since I got my Bold 9000 for the first time I have been rocking the holster all the way.
But then again, that phone was a little too much of a behemoth to lounge around in my pockets.

I dont know people use skins and such, any time I try something other than a holster I butt dialed and texted about 3 times a day!

Yup, I agree with that. Tends to accidentally press the keys.

I use holster to ensure maximum protection and better battery life since screens are off once in holster. Also protection for the screen and keypads from scratches although I do admit it's pretty troublesome when needing to access with one hands only.

Because my device are taken care nicely, I always fetch good 2nd price whenever I sold off for newer device. Most who bought my device admired how well maintain it is.

I've been looking for a decent replacement for my now missing lambskin leather clutch case for my former 8800 series blackberry. After 4 years of use it went missing in a rental car, never to be seen again. It may have been slightly to large for my 9650 or Tour, but it still held them well. The case had deformed around the edges and had nice recesses for my fingers. While I never used the wrist strap for it, I did appreciate that it didn't have a buldge for attaching it to a holster.

Right now, the 9650 splits time between in and out the swivel pouch (with clip removed) in my pocket.

I used to just keep my 9650 in my pocket, but then I kept dropping it and started using the holster that came with it and I'll tell you what battery life has improved drastically.

using a chrome messenger bag with a smartphone strap, otherwise in pocket

What's the name of the holster in that picture?

 
 
Posted by maddie1128 Tuesday, Jun 21, 2011 338 days ago

In your bra was not a choice- but that is where mine is most of the time when it is not in my hand.

Seido innocase w/ seido Holster. Have been using that combination with my 8330, 9630,9650 and now 9780. Has worked great every time...

I'm super impressed 30% of people are still rocking a belt holster. Hardcore!!

By the sound of things, I'm old skool because I've always carried my BBs (starting with a 9000) in a BlackBerry leather belt-clip holster.

I do carry it in a pocket occasionally, but that's unusual.

9700/Otterbox Commuter/OEM 9000 belt holster. Right next to my Leatherman. Always, even around the house, though I occasionally drop it into my pocket for a minute if I need to at home. Perfect balance of accessibility and protection.

belt holster = loser
Pocket holsters are where it's at. I don't get why old people and tough guys love those ugly belt holsters.

 
 
Posted by seanp666 Tuesday, Jun 21, 2011 338 days ago

holy god! 520 people that voted holsters better be construction workers. That's one step away from a fanny pack.

Ok. I'll give you a break if you're on the SWAT team or a surgeon and need to get to your phone really quick.

A friend of mine left a voicemail that was roughly 3 minutes in length to his wife. Apparently his phone dialed out without him noticing (it was in his pocket).He kept mouthing off about stuff that his wife was not supposed to know about. We all know how that ended up !?!. Thankfully I stick with my old-school ways and carry my phone in the Seido Holster...

 
 
Posted by edaniel1717 Tuesday, Jun 21, 2011 338 days ago

Holster for sure.

If the blackberry was thinner/smaller--- perhaps the pockets would do...

Annoying to watch someone trying to fumble through their pants to pullout a phone...... or when they sit down to eat/work--- they always pull it out and lay it on the desk/table so they can sit more comfortable... lol

 
 
Posted by johnnagrrl Tuesday, Jun 21, 2011 338 days ago

I agree with maddie1128... the bra is the way to go. I never keep it in my pocket or in a holster... just in my bra. :)

Depends on my clothing for the day.

Full suit with a jacket? Inside jacket pocket.
Corporate casual? Belt clip
Jeans? Belt clip
Cargo Jeans? Pocket
Shorts? Belt clip
Cargo Shorts? Pocket
Swimming gear? Waterproof puch
Cycling? Handlebar Mount

i have always carried my phone in a holster since my LG VX1 back in 2003 which i had to buy extra then i had a few nextel's which came with the holster and held up well my blackberry is in the leather holster pouch with a black skin for a stealthy look and will buy a holster if the new 9930 doesn't come with one

 
 
Posted by dosto Tuesday, Jun 21, 2011 338 days ago

pocket; no holsters for me.

 
 
Posted by ellebetz Tuesday, Jun 21, 2011 338 days ago

Holsters are douchey. I'd much rather let mine collect ass sweat in my back pocket. And don't give me this nonsense about 'oh noes!! you'll bust it if you sit down!! lol'
No.
I won't.
I have an OtterBox case that would protect my BlackBerry through a nuclear holocaust.

 
 
Posted by zoomlink1 Tuesday, Jun 21, 2011 338 days ago

In my pocket, because I would bang it up while I work. Besides that's where I keep my "Nextel" pager. Just kidding

 
 
Posted by eBud Tuesday, Jun 21, 2011 338 days ago

Since I work in a hospital I wear the BB in a holster under my lab coat. Nobody knows it's there ('til it rings). At least it keeps the screen from getting scratched.

 
 
Posted by thefinks Tuesday, Jun 21, 2011 338 days ago

Now its in a oem holster was in snap on hard case and before that was the rubber skin...

Nekkid in my pocket

 
 
Posted by matttehman Tuesday, Jun 21, 2011 338 days ago

Otterbox and in my pocket. Pulling it out of my pocket to sit is automatic reflex action :)

Bold 9000 with a pouch, in my pocket and 8820 in a belt holster.

 
 
Posted by axllebeer Tuesday, Jun 21, 2011 338 days ago

Although there have been times that I've slipped my Style 9670 in a pocket, I by far prefer a clip or pouch. My Curve 8350i came with a clip which i loved, but not many Berries do. So I'm back to the pouch for the Style. not bad though there aren't any I've found that support the magnetic standby mode well. If i found one that did and that I liked I would get it though b/c the battery is not the greatest in the Style. Still love the phone though. Here's hoping a Torch 2 hits Sprint. Fingers crossed! :)

I recently purchased several different funky coloured skins for my BB Bold 9780 on eBay. I love them! Also purchased a couple of screen protectors and voilà!! It slips easily in my pocket without creating a big ugly bulge and I have no fear of my screen getting scratched or damaged either. ;)

I USED to carry mine in the badass lil pouch they GAVE you but since RIM got all cheap on us now i just pocket it. No way am i spending on what used to come in the box. I wish RIM would straighten up because theyre losing customers left and right. Now im not saying its because of the pouches but the drain is certainly undeniable.

Never bothered using any holster. But had torrid time accidentally called people as happened to some. Or had tons of screenshot taken. Use an autolock app now. Can leave my 9700 with peace in my pocket.

 
 
Posted by jwsnj3rd Tuesday, Jun 21, 2011 338 days ago

I keep trying to win a case from CB till I do ill keep it in my pocket

 
 
Posted by nextelberry1683 Tuesday, Jun 21, 2011 338 days ago

holster all the way! but the clip in style, like on the 8350i or some of the other after market types. I wish they made the clip in style (or whatever its called) for every bb

 
 
Posted by w0qj Wednesday, Jun 22, 2011 337 days ago

Interesting comments, seems that many folks (46%) leave their BB in pocket...

This raises more questions than it answers, does this imply that more men are using BB than ladies? Just a thought...

I use the same sleeve that I bought for my Bold 9000 with my red Torch 9800. It fits perfectly! I use the magnetic sleeve to carry my Torch in my bag or purse. All of my bags/purses have cell phone pockets. When I am dressed casually and/or without a purse, I use a Golla smartbag clipped to my belt loop w/a small carbiner. I have three different Golla smartbags that I rotate through.

 
 
Posted by Lorenn_x Wednesday, Jun 22, 2011 337 days ago

I just keep mine in my pocket, protected by a case/screen protector always. It's the most convenient for me!

 
 
Posted by blackcaneaddict Thursday, Jun 23, 2011 336 days ago

plus one!

Except my case of choice is a rubber skin ftw!

 
 
Posted by heaven1794 Wednesday, Jun 22, 2011 337 days ago

Although the holster is an amazing solution, the torch holster was made with the worst quality. Mines and all of my friends' holsters ares starting to come apart

 
 
Posted by rrrebo Wednesday, Jun 22, 2011 337 days ago

I'm not sure why people seem to think that phones are meant to be fashion accessories, or treated like embarrassments to be hidden away. Who gives a flying frak at a rolling donut what someone else thinks about how you look? It's my phone. It's where I need it to be. Being superficial about the appearance of your phone is douchey, imo.

Bold 9000 silcone skin in my Carhartt vest pocket or one of the pants side pockets....,.

 
 
Posted by wsloan311 Wednesday, Jun 22, 2011 337 days ago

No offense, but if you have a belt holster, you are a nerd.

 
 
Posted by michaelpaytonmz Wednesday, Jun 22, 2011 337 days ago

I hate holsters with a passion. I carry my Curve in my shirt pocket. Easy access. No butt dialing.

 
 
Posted by deezy2323 Wednesday, Jun 22, 2011 337 days ago

I agree - it does depend on the clothing attire !!! I have a rubber case & belt clip ...but the way I like it the most is bare with no case or nothing ! I do this bc I like to see the whole phone I think cases like outter box -even tho save - it takes away from the phones appearance

Belt holster for me...

 
 
Posted by Tõnis Monday, Sep 12, 2011 255 days ago

If I'm wearing jeans or dickies, I use the oem holster. If I'm wearing dress pants/or shorts, I'll just put it in my front pocket by itself (no keys, coins, etc.)
