Blackberry Case That Thwarts Thieves

People all over Europe carry cellphones, though you almost never see one being worn on a belt. That seems to be more of an American affectation. Could you just carry it in a buttoned pocket? Or an inside jacket pocket?

Thanks. What I'm going to do is get a gel cover for the blackberry that is normally used to protect it from damage--otherwise known as "dropping it." It will also make it hard for someone to take it out of my pocket since it won't slide easily against fabric. A leather cover would slide right out.

And finding a zippered pocket to put it in.

No Continental European man ever wears his Blackberry or cell phone on his belt. That's show-off behaviour and in our movies only people from Texas (no offense) wear their gadgets that way. Sorry for having had to say that. We wear them inside our jackets, pockets - personally when not wearing a suit, e.g. in my spare time, I wear carpenter or cargo khakis and there always is some kind of pocket that I do not sit on and that's not too wide so that nobody else but the person wearing those pants can reach into it.

I agree with Andreas - while some say its too touristy - a good pair of travel/adventure cargo pants with zippers is great for those kind of things. Or else - just have a zipper sown into one of your comfortable pants to offer some protection.
