I’ve also been trying to get the hang of using my phone camera recently.
Set the picture ratio to 4:3 for the sharpest, most detailed image.
Got a second, floating shutter button.
Got a new case that gives good grip, and a screen protector as I will no longer use that leather case
I used to pay $25.00 US for a fliptop, when I went to 4G my flip cost me $80.00 US.
The Samsung Galaxy Flip 6 costs £1,000 in the UK
or is that not what you mean?
EDIT … Ah! of course, you mean what we call a Clamshell
My cell is only for emergencies when I’m out and about, I also have a landline, which is mainly so the spammers can contact me 
, other than the spammers I might have 3-4 people I talk with, ol’ flipper is enough for me.
Spammers can be true lifesavers 
I really couldn’t be with out a smartphone these days.
If I’m on holiday or out in the woods I might just have a cheapo unit as backup fully charged just in the case of an emergency.
That’s cheating, you’re supposed to do smoke signals. 
You and your bloody Rizlas!

As appropriate for bushcraft…
My phone said the battery was low, so I put it up on the top shelf. Didn’t make a scrap of difference.
I have noticed that most of the young people in jogging gear that I see out walking seem to attach their phone to their upper arm these days - something like these (picked at random from Google)
or this
My phone is always in my pocket, I would feel naked without it.
Bruce I see people with those too and my husband has one.
I don’t as I bought running pants with a deep pocket specifically for phones.
People use them to listen to music while they are running (via bluetooth connected earbuds)
Just as a matter of interest I had a look on Amazon to see the price, they have an arm one for $10
But some are several 10s of dollars, no need for me I too have pockets in my shorts
I’m gonna check out Decathlon today for one of these
I must admit that I have always been happy with my clamshell phone, but earlier this year I swapped my sim into a smartphone I had given, and thus far, it’s been brilliant. Other than taking and making calls I don’t use it much, but have found the camera to be very useful and a good quality. I also use a map and trig point site, handy for when I need the information while out on walks. I’ve also downloaded an app for measuring distance and providing a little map of where I’ve been. I missed a few calls because I couldn’t figure out how to answer them, it’s a press and slide… 
My old clamshell wouldn’t talk to my car, but this smartphone does, so I can take calls handsfree.
It doesn’t seem to be much of a problem stuck in the back pocket of my shorts. Mrs Fox insists that I take my phone wherever I go these days, just so they know where to locate the body…
I just had to show you the money belt I bought for my mobile, for my upcoming beach holidays. And anywhere really. Shepherds Bush market £10.
I use those money belts when travelling - they hold a phone and a couple of cards and a small amount of cash.
Very handy.
Likewise (and a passport?)
yes sometimes a passport overseas - in China where you need your passport to get on internal trains, boats etc
But usually overseas I dont need t o carry my passport around with me - it stays in safe in my room.
