I use the OEM pouch like the picture above. I like it a lot. You may have a concern about the top sticking out, but it is very functional. My tour stays in the pouch unless I am using it or its in the cradle. The pouch gives great protection and the sleep function helps with battery life.
I also use the OEM pouch. It's perfect if you keep your phone in a pocket by itself. If you toss it in a bag with keys and stuff, the top 1/2" of the phone will get scratched.
