Pockets? Don't talk about.. pockets?... you kiddin' me? Pockets?
IMO, putting a phone in a pocket is asking for trouble as there are just too many potential things that can either rub against the screen while in the pocket, scratch it when you put it in or take it out, or crack it via too much tension (if in a tight pocket or you move in a way that causes it). A holster where the screen faces in is the way to go (ex. Seidio Spring-clip holster). It protects the phone quite well. Nine months later and my Bolt still looks as pristine as its first day out of the box!

I wear mine on my right belt loop and access it with my left hand, releasing the phone by pushing up the spring-clip with my index finger, then using my dominant right hand to use the phone. To put it back in the holster, just reverse the process using just my left hand. No pockets to dig the phone out of! As to fashion faux pas, I?m old enough not to care! Function over fashion.
