Cell Phone Case

Cell Phone Case

Many people have cell phones now, and they are getting more and more common. It used to be that seeing people with a cell phone case on their hip was uncommon, but now that is the norm rather than the exception. The problem I have is that I don’t like to have mine on my hip. I just don’t think it’s a good idea. That might be the easiest way to get it lost or broken. I normally carry mine in my purse or even in my front pocket, but that has its perils as well, and is not always convenient.

I have to find a cell phone case that is durable, but doesn’t have to be clipped on to the band of my jeans. My husband has one of these, and that works fine for him, but I don’t like it and I won’t buy another one. I had one when I first got my phone, but it was cheap and it kept turning the volume on my phone down so I had to mess with it whenever I had to remove it from the cell phone case. I only used it for a few days before I tossed it aside and stuffed my phone in my purse.

I have seen some that look like a tiny purse, but are made just to be a cell phone case. It’s a great idea in concept, but I am going to lose that very fast if I were to go with one of them. Something that small is never a good idea. There are times I forget my large purse. It would only be a matter of days before I lost a cell phone case that was that small and meant to be carried somewhat like a purse.

What I do like for a cell phone case is not really a case at all. In my purse, there is a small compartment on the side that is just the perfect size for my phone. I would guess that was what it was intended for. It works great, and when my phone rings, I just have to reach in and grab it. I don’t have to search though everything in my purse to find it either. Though it’s not technically a cell phone case, it is what has worked best for me so far. There are still times when I don’t want to take my purse with me, and I guess my front pocket will just have to do.
