As you might’ve guessed, we’re big on saving pocket space here at Pocketnow … and we sometimes miss the days when phone holsters were a “thing.” I talked about this in a short editorial almost exactly one year ago, where I made a case for the return of the phone pouch:The added utility of freeing up a pocket is almost magical – especially in the summertime when fabric is at a premium. Also, phones don’t clang around on a belt like they do in a ...

Especially in the summer, pocket space is minimal, and sacrificing two of them for mobile devices leads to a tough key-and-wallet-juggling act … and no small amount of discomfort if a phone decides to run hot. Even if you’re not dual-wielding mobiles like some modern-day gunslinger, you’re still probably devoting an entire pants pocket to your smartphone on account of its
