case - specific requirement

I was about to purchase one of those nice Sena cases.... when I hesitated.

What I am looking for in a case is a few specific features. I need a belt clip. I carry my cell phone in my pocket + my keys, so the PDA needs to hand outside the pants. I would prefer, I think, for it not to swing down and hang vertically but to stay horizontally. I think that would allow easier freedom to move and stand and sit.

I am a retirement planner and I work for myself. This means I spend a lot of time driving to client's houses, driving to the bank, driving to my home office, and sitting a lot with the clients. I need something that won't be a hassel while I am sitting and getting in and out of my car. I believe hanging horizonatally offers more freedom in that regard.

I really don't want a "book" style. I like the cover that folds completely behind the case to easier hold with one hand. I'd like the belt clip to not stick out four miles. That always adds to the trouble of standing and sitting.

So, should I just stick with the Sena case? Or should I look into something different?

The magnesium case... It hangs vertically from the clip, but you get used to it.

I also flip the lid open and jam it into the top of the car air vent so it doubles as a car mount

SENA or Piel Frama Cases are Ideal, and they both have clips that Rotate, so while sitting they will Rotate to what ever makes you comfortable, Check out Cases.com for a wide selection of Cases for your PDA:approve:

How flush is the belt clip, though? Does it stick out too far?

One more thing. Both the magnesium and Sena are both awesome cases. The magnesium will offer far more protection, but is a bit more bulky. The Sena is nice leather and is less bulky. I have a Sena and an aluminum case, and prefer the Sena for most occasions, but still use the metal case too.
