I'm considering the other PDair, the one you have, but i'm worried that there's nothing to stop it falling out if it's worn on the belt?
That isn't a problem with this design; the front and back of the case are joined at the sides with an elastic webbing, which gets stretched enough to grip the phone wirh a decent amount of force when you put it in.. There is no way the phone will slide out by itself, even if you hold the case upside down and shake it...

What about putting it in jeans pocket - too bulky with the belt clip?

Hmm. I really haven't tried it in my pockets much (I generally prefer to clip the phone to my belt), but I've just now slipped it into my jeans pocket, and it fits ok... But yeah, it is a bit bulky. That might be due more to the size of the phone, though; the belt clip itself is fairly thin.
I'm not sure I'd really notice a difference if the belt clip wasn't there.
And now I'm remembering why I don't like having the phone in my pocket; almost impossible to pull it out when I'm sitting down.
I use Clarivue screen protector...Its a bit pricey $9.99 (USD) for 2 of them. But they are extremely good. Ive been using one for the last 8 months without much care and it looks like i just put it on yesterday. Extremely reliable, i think its worth the price!
I used screen protectors for years with my old Palm devices. They look ugly and harder to clean than the screen itself. In all cases, after the device died, I removed the screen protector and had a pristine screen, but one that I never really enjoyed! With the N900 I decided to go without a screen protector. I have had one for over a year and the screen still looks good. I much rather enjoy the screen to its full while the device lives.
Just my ¢2.
It's true, makes a lot of sense. We purchase a product to enjoy the utility. If the cost of preservation exceeds to utility value, then it's no point. It's different from preserving a house, car or watch which does not age with technology.

Just to throw in my own 2 pennies, the screen protector I've got is crystal clear and easy to clean. Maybe technology has advanced somewhat? In any case, I haven't yet seen any downside to using one...

Great, thanks. Is the clip removable/rotatable like the other PDair cases?
I've been using the invisible shield ever since I got the phone. It does full body protection, and if I ever do manage to scratch it, they send me a new one for the cost of shipping (something like 3 bucks.) It requires a pretty clean environment to install, but it doesn't bubble up or peel off. I like to show it off by grabbing my keys out of my pocket, showing someone how sharp my office key is, then going to town on the screen. Not a scratch.
