Looking for an iPhone XR belt clip case

So, as the subject states, I’m looking for a belt clip case for my new iPhone XR. Here are a few requirements/wants:
1. No pouch type of cases, i.e., cases that are basically a little bag that you stick your phone into, then close and clip on your belt. I like to have access to the screen of my phone went out and about.
2. The clip must allow the phone‘s screen to face out. It would be nice if it would allow it to face in, as well, for those situations which call for greater protection of the screen, but that is less of a requirement.
3. I would like it to be slimmer than the new OtterBox Defender. I love OtterBox cases, but given that I jumped from an iPhone 6S to an iPhone XR, the added bulk is sort of annoying.
4. I would also like it to come in blue, if at all possible. I’m trying to get a nice sapphire type blue, but other shades are acceptable, as long as they’re not that garrish, child’s toy type of blue.

Finding a case that meets all of these requirements/wants has been difficult, particularly the one about being able to put the phone into the clip screen-side out. If anyone has any suggestions, please comment below. I’ve already dropped my naked phone once, and I don’t want to do that again, as I now have a small scratch on the bottom left-hand corner; i’d hate to amass any more. I guess I could just get a cheap bumper case for the time being, until I find a case and clip combo that will work for me.

Thanks,
Shersey

Check out amazon. They probably will have it. You can always call the disability number and tell them what you need and they will help you. They are good.

I’ve actually been looking on Amazon, as well as Case roundups from tech websites. Haven’t found too much so far, unfortunately. I hadn’t thought about calling Amazon‘s accessibility number, however. I might just do that. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks,

Yes. Call is better than you trying to find something that has pictures as describtion. They are good and nice at lease has been my personal experience.

I did a quick search and mostly I see holsters or cases that go in holsters. This makes sense as it is a lot more secure.
I did find an interesting product/idea. A clip, and you fasten it to a case of your choice. It won't rotate and do fancy things, but for a little money you could buy a silicon case, a clip, put them together, and have a belt clip on your phone.

I was trying to explain it in a way that wouldn't be too confusing. I may have found a good case, but I'm not sure if it'll go into the accompanying clip screen out.

I recently posted a question on Amazon about that, so I’m hoping I’ll get an answer fairly soon. No matter what case I do end up going with, I’ll definitely be posting a review.

Thanks for that clip suggestion. It’s an interesting idea, and I’ll definitely be taking a look at it. I saw something similar, but specifically made to work with the OtterBox Commuter and other similar cases. Still, I think I’d rather have something else specifically made to work together, rather than something that’s made to fit a wider variety of cases. It’d probably be fine, but it makes me a little bit nervous.

Thanks,
