Location: Way up North | I am actually the maker of the one's Smokin' Girlie posted. I originally designed them for sitting all day at the ranch rodeo's when it was really inconvient to go back to the trailer to check my phone and uncomfortable to have it shoved in my pocket while riding. There obviously I am not worried about my horse leaving me without a way to call someone but I do ride at home by myself and my arena has no fence so I just tie it around my ankle-still easy to get it in or out but there if one of the kids decide to part ways with me |

| I don't ride with my phone bc I don't want to be bothered but I rarely ride without another human nearby. If you're worried about accidents or mishap just get a life alert bracelet like advertised for the elderlyw hen they fall and can't get up |

Location: NC | I have a clip i got from TSC that my iphone 5 fits in. Velco shuts and clips to belt. Ended up getting my mom one as well because the phone never falls out. |

Sidenote- was just looking on your Facebook page from the link she posted - you make gorgeous stuff! And prices look good too.. I'm definitely keeping in mind 
PS - glad someone suggested the boot - I hadn't thought of that before but that's a good idea. My phone luckily fits in my pocket but it's a tad tight, I might try the boot next time. |

| A few years ago I was riding and slow working my barrel horse in our arena, Hubby had already gone into the house. My horse fell on the first barrel, he got up and went on to finish the pattern, luckily I had my phone in my back pocket and was able to call hubby to come and get me since I couldn't get up.
My point is DON'T have it attached to your saddle, keep in on your body. I was only loping when my deal happened.

Location: Always on call..... | Timber Creek - 2016-08-12 10:38 AM I had a super cute leather phone case for my iphone 3 but didn't fit my iphone 6. I bought a plain black one at Menards for under $10 I think. It clips to my belt/pants and stays on when I run barrels.
Same here. I always ride alone, and often when hubby is gone. I bought a black case with a Velcro flap to close it at Walmart for $10. It clips to my waistband. They make them big enough for the newer phones. It looks nerdy but works good. |

Location: Where ever the pipeline takes us, TX | I put mine in a flexible case with a velcro arm band on it, made for running and working out with your phone. Found mine in the fitness section at Walmart. I used to wrap the arm band around the horn/pommel , but I figured if I ever had a runaway horse, I don't want my phone to be attached to the horse... So now I just arm band it to my arm and either use headphones or a Bluetooth speaker clipped to my saddle. Works perfect!!

| I always put mine inside my boot. This may work Depending on how much room is in the top of your boot! |

| I bought a waist band that has 2 zipper pockets and one that is open from a company called Nifty, Nifty. Saw it at our state fair a couple of years ago at a booth. I wear it around my waist under my shirt. I have a LG Bluetooth that I wear around my neck with ear buds. I can receive and verbally call people pretty much hands free.
I use it to ride my horse, bike and when active working out at gym.
Really like it, but do wish it was made a little wider. Sometimes they give you 20% off on first purchase. They are on FB also.
They also have leather pouches that you can clip on your belt loops.
Nice person to deal with. |

Location: Oklahoma | I have the fancy leather clip case they sell at western stores, mine is black w studs and concho, it was $25 and holds my iphone 5S ( have not upgraded do not want a bigger phone ) , had it 3-4 yrs , use every day.( I have been doing that for 15 yrs at least ) . Phone in it's lifeproof case. I also have that flip belt thingy w 2 zipper pouches .. It needs to be wider but I can put cash , cards,keys n phone in it under my shirt, and bonus works with shorts etc and I like better than those armband or leg cases as they are bulky.
. Hubby has a fancy leather case belt clip also it holds his phone easy w lifeproof case . I have won saddle cases but I don't think that is smart. I do use a hornbag for water n snacks trail riding but don't put phone or keys in it .
FYI , Lifeproof is the only way to go, I work on the farm , and painting in furniture shop or I paint houses , no scratches, dust and waterproof! |
