My V10 would have been very unhappy without the glass screen protector.
It fell out of my shirt pocket when I was moving some cinderblocks and the screen hit the edge of one. A couple of dings in the screen protector, but no other issues. Pants pockets usually aren't an option for me (I'm sitting and bending and so forth too much). Cheers, Scott. |

Shirt pockets.
I haven't purchased a polo shirt without a shirt pocket in about 15 years. I keep my geezer goggles and phone in it. My ancient Nexus 4 has never had a screen protector and I've used it daily since it first became available and I have no issues at all with the screen. Of course, I'm not what you'd call a typical user. This site is the only "social media" I've ever engaged in. ;0) bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again. |

Re: Shirt pockets.
I haven't purchased a polo shirt Right there with ya. I don't put anything in my shirt pockets. Maybe a pen, temporarily, at work - and then only if I'm not suited and booted, which I'm mostly not. (dress shirts in the UK are different to those in the US. We tend to opt for a spread collar (never ever button-down) and no pockets, whereas US shirts seem to have pointy collars, often button-down, and pockets. We think you look weird and adorably dorky, especially with that super-long-tie thing y'all have going on - with Trump as your SLT king. You of course think we all look and sound like James Bond, which we obviously do.) Many moons ago, when phones were considerably daintier than they are these days, I had a shirt pocket/toilet phone transfer instantiation incident. I stopped putting my phone in my shirt pocket that day. *We have a "dress for your day" dress code. No customer/client/big boss meetings, like today? Plaid shirt, jeans and skate shoes**. **Skate shoes are my most recent revelation. I never have and never will own a skateboard, but skate shoes are just les tits. Durable (think of what they're designed to do), comfy and generally understated. And they come in big sizes, too. I take a UK 13. What the fuck are skate shoes? |

When you get old enough to require reading glasses I think the pocket will return.

Well, I learned something about skate shoes!
A pair is on the way from Amazon. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov |

That'd be awesome
But inexplicably (I know, right?) they don't do them in my size. |

Here we wear the plaid shirt/jeans/skate shoes even on client/board/etc. days.

Last time I put a phone in a shirt pocket ...
I went into the bathroom and bent over to lift the lid. Watched in slow motion as the phone slipped out ... tumbled through the air ... hit the rim ... and bounced off to the side. /whew -- Drew |

Shirt pockets are deadly.
I don't want my glasses in the toilet either. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. |

I don't either, that's why I put my hand over my pocket when I bend over. ;0)
