I have to admit I like this idea quite a bit, although the shoulder strap
across my chest doesn't appeal to me when I'm wearing a jacket. The exact
time when I need it to be least conspicuous, the strap is showing. That's
what made me think of a shoulder-holster.

And if the case is a snug fit kind of deal, using the belt loop facility and
then taking the Newton in and out of the case sounds less than ideal.

But Spock's tricorder was very cool, wasn't it?

 
Shalom.
