I'm left-handed and placed this case on my right hip because that's where it intuitively belonged. I liked the case but was aggravated that I had to disconnect the headset to put it into or take it out of the case. It was also not possible to access the volume control without removing the iPhone at least partially from the case. It finally dawned on me after a few days that the solution to this was to place the phone in the case "upside down," or flipped head to foot. But I didn't like the headset cable emerging from the "back" of the case so I finally relented and started wearing it on my left hip. It's just SMOP (a small matter of programmer) to get used to wearing it on the left side rather than the right.
