How do you carry your Note?

ZAGG glass screen protector front ZAGG original protector back in my right rear pocket all by itself. I'm left handed so my wallet resides on the left.

Posted for my Galaxy Note 5 with a properly inserted S Pen!
 
I didn't know holsters existed anymore. Unless you work outside and have a rugged phone, I would think a holster would expose a phone more than anything.
Anyways, mine always goes in front left pocket by itself. I am supposed to get my case today (finally) and have a glass screen protector on order as well. First time for screen protector of any kind since pre-smartphone days. I thought I would give it a shot.

Thin case with screen protector, in front left pocket (screen facing towards my body).

With some pants, the phone is a little too big and awkward, so I end up either carrying it like a paperback book, or I put it in my shirt pocket (if I have one)...
 
I originally had a tribe of Aztec warriors, that were carrying my Note 5 on a gold chariot. Also had an extra Aztec bodyguard that would dive into any danger to shield my Note with his body. However, all of this seemed a lil eccentric.

I went ahead and bought a PT Platinum protective case with Holster. (Yes, in my line of work I need a holster) I also covered the screen with a Zagg HD Glass tempered screen protector.

what is the name of the leather cases? they're nice!

I have always been scared to carry my phones in my pockets for fear of damaging it, but lately I have really grown to enjoy doing so.

Even though I have a Seidio Dilex combo coming this week, I am liven large and dangerous with my leather case

and have ordered another one like it in black and this one early this morning

All 3 for less than $16.00 off ebay..

While I know that this is the minimum amount of protection even with my Zagg glass screen protector on it, I am finding the experience very convenient, so how do you all carry yours, pocket case & holster or even some way else?

I have that holster as well but I only use it when I'm going to be outside most of the day like at the beach or playground with my kids.

I carry mine in the side pocket of my carpenter jeans and I protect it with a UAG.

Tempered glass screen protector because I have had too many screens get scratched I'm my pocket and I have dbrand wrap on the back and camera. Keeps it from being as slick and keeps the back from getting scratched as well.

First things first: Sticking with the Note 4, for the time being. Fan of tempered glass screen protector, they're on all my devices, I think, besides the scratching protection, I believe they help with drop protection. I've always preferred belt holster cases, I hate bulging front pockets, and have other objects for those (pocket knife, etc.). I had previously used the Zuzo case, pictured here: zu.jpgz2.jpgBTW - I glued that piece of leather to the back of it to class it up! I really like the form factor of this case, being able to slide my phone in and out. It was also fairly easy to remove it, so I could remove the phone's back for battery changes, which I changed at every charge, charging the second battery in a charger as soon as it leaves the phone. I decided to go with the iBlason case, holster pictured here, for its extra protection:ib.jpg The actual iBlason case is not pictured because I'm too lazy to remove my phone to take the image, but I think y'all know what it looks like (larger bumpers!) I had to sacrifice lots of the form factor that I enjoyed with Zuzu, it's bulkier and isn't as easy to draw the phone from its holster, it snaps in; and the back is much harder to remove for the battery change. What I'm doing now, is changing batteries after a month of using the first one. Anyway, that's my story, and I'm sticking with it! :)
 
Well after dropping my phone with the thin clear TPU case on it the phone survived unscaved but my s-pen flew out for some strange reason and cracked in half and I had to order a new one! all is well now, but it made me think and I put my Seidio PT platinum case back on which is a little thicker but provides ample protection without being to bulky and a belt holder if I choose to use it. It also doesn't push against my Zagg screen protector when I hold the phone to tight compared to when I squeeze the phone with a tpu thin case it lifts the edge of the screen protector up which can lead to bubbles over time. My only gripe with this platinum case is the phone won't charge wirelessly on my pmi chargers but it does with the original Samsung qi puck.

I couldn't stick with the overly thick case for long now I'm back with a tpu slicoo case that has a unique pc layer and adds to the note 5 beauty IMO. Ordered a leather pouch tab case to use for extra protection when not I use.
