Hi Rick and Ron, I don't get your logic, if you are right handed doesn't that mean you hold your phone in your right hand and hold it to your right ear? Why would you have it on the left side? Anyhow, my dog is on my left so my iPhone is on my right side, if it rings and I don't have a headset plugged in I just pull the inside case which snaps on the iPhone out of the belt clip portion of the case with my right hand and all is good.
The case I am talking about and which I like best so far is a $5.75 USD case from www.monoprice.com. I don't have time to go online now and find the link or look for it in the archives, but I have posted it before and I think if you searched the archives for "Monoprice" or "Monoprice.com" you should find it. It was a few months ago. If not let me know and I find it and post it again tonight. The only thing I wish they improved on this case is the tension on the belt clip, the spring could be a bit stronger. ?Apart from that for $6 it's my favorite case, it swivels, nothing is in the way of the charging port and I like the way the part that snaps onto your phone which protects the entire back and the 2 long sides slides into the part you have on your beltand how it uses friction to stay put. This also allows me to slide it in upside down so the home button is up which actually makes the phone easier to use as it is on your belt and I can even slide it in with the back of the phone facing out if I was somewhere where I might not want people to know I have an iPhone for security reasons.

I'm right handed also. As for the vertical case, I had one for my iPhone 4 so they are around. Mine was white but there are various colours. I got mine from Amazon. The problem with the vertical case is that, when you bend down, the bottom of the case presses against your thigh and the case pops off your belt. Ron & Danvers Falling down is part of LIFE...

When using my phone on my belt I used to wear it on my right but started wearing it on my left. If you are right handed, it sort of feels better this way because you don't have to switch the phone from your right hand to the left which is the case if you are carrying it on your right. What I would like to find is a belt case that is vertical instead of horizontal and is large enough to hold my 5s while it's in a battery case. I'm sure there is one somewhere, just have to find it.
