I often put mine in my shirt pocket without much of an issue, or the inside pocket of my overcoat here in winter. I dont mind the leather case that comes with it as it does have the cool magnet thingy that does whatever it does to the phone (sorry for being so technical there) and it has a nice clip that allows you to move the case to any position.

Have never tried my jeans but in dress pants again, I don't even know its there.

I have lint Gnomes that take care of my lint in my pockets, so I do not have any...
