Just an observation. I've noticed in the last 5 years or so, the 'hip holster' has had a steady decline.

There was a time, I wouldn't be caught dead without a hip holster, with my phone it in. And, this was no matter the device I was carrying (BlackBerry, iPhone, Android). These days you hardly see them. As a matter of fact, I can't even recall the last time I saw a hip holster of sorts (except for the Otterbox Defender in it's holster)...

I'm all about the vibrate option for all notifications. I tend to only use 'sound' if I'm home and the missus isn't there. Thus wanting to make sure I don't miss her call or text. But out and about, must be vibrate.
[doublepost=1471270854][/doublepost]Maybe 'hip holster' is the wrong terminology. I'm talking about these...

I've actually seen a few more as phones continue to get larger and larger. I know construction workers use holsters a lot and I've seen many Little League Baseball umpires use them.
