    How do you carry your Nexus?
    I am beginning to think that a Galaxy Note leather pouch would fit my phone and Pop! case....

    I may go the seidio holster route though

    As many of you know, I'm...unique.

    I carry, predominantly, in a case (currently the white Rearth Slim) which is then slid into a woman's sock (black, short, and very fluffy) which then goes screen-side down in my left pocket. Nothing else, not paper or anything, resides in said pocket.

    When I used an Otterbox Commuter, I had a sleeve custom tailored to it. I still use it for business stuff, but alas, the Rearth is too slim for it and it slides around, causing my OCD to go haywire.

    My phone just has some carbon fiber ghost armor around it and it goes right in my pocket with nothing else at all.

    I tried looking going naked but i always hit the volume and power buttons...was thinking of a seidio spring clip case to replace my Pop!....dunno...I like having it protected but it's a completely different phone when naked.

    would have if:

    1) I didn't have a slew of cases like that minus the pink uni

    2) AOKP was stopped....j/k


    I ordered the other before the aokp one was announced...

    I do that too!

    Well, whenever I'm in the field and I have the Nexus with me I carry it in a case (either an Incipio Active or something, or the Androidified TPU), which is then held in a woman's sock. Got the idea from Apple selling iPod socks (biggest rip-off ever, but it can be useful).

    But normally, it just goes in my pocket. With. Nothing. Else. In. There.

    I use the otterbox defender probably 90 percent of the time. The other 10 is between the case holster combo from Verizon and naked in a leather belt case.

    I use my defender all the time. Has saved this phones life many times. Don't like naked since it is too slippery.

    Post pictures of said sock! I have pictures all around here, particularly when I was trying to showoff my new Rearth SLIM case lol

    I like using NFC so I have stayed cost of most cases. I may try the OtterBox commuter but not sure how NFC friendly it is.

    I've been going with the naked phone most the time, I don't like cases encroaching on the screen, my own ocd... I like to have access to the whole screen.

    Same here, Never anything in the pocket with the phone.

    Rearth slim, VZ screen protector, screen down in pocket alone. No pouches needed in my case, something tells me i would end up dropping it at some point trying to remove it from said sock in a pinch.

    I carry my phone in a custom made, remora soft holster (they make gun holsters) you can carry it concealed on the inside of your waist band, but I typically carry in my pocket so my keys don't get at the phone.

    I always have my keys or change in my pockets so I ended up getting the seidio holster.
    works pretty well.

    I carry mine naked in my pocket. I don't put anything else with it. I've tried cases (even the slim case, which is nice), but I could just never get used to it. I love the feeling of a naked Nexus in my hand.

    Cruzer Lite cases (assorted - got the buy 2 get 1 free thing) and one Diztronic 3 (nice and slim, but gets oily very fast).

    I love the look of a white Cruzer Lite, but that sh!t gets irreversibly dirty on the matte Andy and corner edges . If it smells jeans, it starts to turn blue.

    Naked nexus needs a pouch rather than a case

    Naked in right pocket, screen in, no screen protector. While in the car on the go I make sure that I never carry it in a dock. This way I can scratch up the leading edge of the phone in my cup holder. Thanks Samsung for making sure that I can't use a dock.
