Cell phone cases are abundant and choosing the right one can be a chore. I cannot tell you how many cell phone cases I have purchased and how many have not worked out for me.

First of all I do not like a cell phone case that has a revolving clip. At first glance they look like a very handy way to keep your cell phone close yet out of the way. Often these types of cases also look the best. When you spend your hard earned money on a great looking cell phone it hurts to cover it up.

Each cell phone case that I’ve had with that little revolving clip has broken. My seat belt was usually the culprit. No matter where I placed my phone on my waistband my seatbelt would hang on it. Sometimes I could find a replacement clip but at other times I could not and had to buy a new case.

During my morning walks my cell phone would swing back and forth and irritate me. I did not dare break into a jog.

Then I was shopping on eBay one day and found a cell phone case that was a pouch style. It has a strong (stationary clip) on the back as well as two belt loops. The inside is soft and the front flap has magnets inside so it actually keeps itself closed. I have a black one and for my girly days I have a pink one. My cell phone feels secure and I do not worry about it anymore. Also, I like that my cell phone sits sideways at my waist and not up and down.

My favorite cell phone cases may seem a bit boring to some people but I hardly think about having it on most days. I use my Bluetooth headset to answer calls and some calls I voice dial. Most of the time my cell phone stays safely inside the case. When I need to dial or text it is not a problem because the phone is easy to access.

If you are in the market for a new cell phone case I would suggest checking into a pouch style. Depending on which phone you have there is probably a specific case to fit it.

I have bought them for friends and family and all have been converts. I always buy from eBay because the selection is huge and the price is right (typically from $7.00 to $10.00 including shipping charges).

In this case form follows function and I like that.
