I enjoy the Bodyguard 2.0 in a Galco horsehide pocket holster. It's a handy EDC. What is not so handy is carrying a spare magazine off the belt. For those who pocket-carry a spare magazine, what have you found that works well? A particular pocket magazine carrier (I know that Galco has one in steerhide)? Something else entirely?
 
Being a Knife Guy, I got knife cases.
Grey sock on Left contains LCP Max Mag.
Middle Black has 17 round Sig 365 Mag.
On right, Glock 43x. Had to look, it’s a standard 10 round.
I have some 15 Round aftermarket, they’re the same length.

Sneaky Pete makes great pocket magazine carriers, but could be a little stickier. I have one for my Kahr P380 and PM9.
 
I have found that though the cheap, junk pocket holster that came with the Ruger LCP lost its shape pretty quick for carrying the LCP, it is extremely handy for carrying a spare magazine in my left pocket.
 
I pocket carry a BG1 daily, and usually opposing pocket carry a spare magazine in an Ammo Armor sleeve. I just checked their website. They make them for the BG2, and still only $9.95.

I use an ammo armor plastic sleeve for my spare when I carry a spare mag (not always) in my pocket.

It's not the best method admittedly, prepare to use your teeth to remove the sleeve etc.
 
For the past several years I have carried a spare mag for my Sig P-365 XL in this. It's a generic leather belt mag pouch I found on Ebay for about $15. I cut off the belt loop and carry it in my left rear pocket like a billfold.

It usually rides in my Wrangler jeans but I've found it works just as well in slacks, suit pants and, on rare occasions, a tux. It will carry two of the 15 round Sig mags comfortably but I usually carry one mag and my Streamlight Wedge XL on the other side.

The leather conforms to my body and is so comfortable I forget it's there until I need a reload or a flashlight...or both.

If you have any of the cheap, thin and flimsy eyeglass cases they used to give you when buying glasses, they are easily cut down for a spare magazine to be carried in your pocket.
