Searching didn't come up with much.    What size multi tool pouch will the 22lr fit  in?   I prefer this over the cellphone pouch for a few reasons.

Standard grip.     Looking specifically at multi tool/knife pouches.   I already carry a phone   Don't want to make it look like I am carrying two

If someone was to ask to borrow your phone at least you could whip it out for them. If the ask to see your Leatherman there might be an issue.

The pouch will be mostly hidden by clothing.   Don't foresee that as an issue.

Have you searched the forum?
Someone on here makes custom holsters.  He could probably make you one.

I ruled out Leatherman pouches as the top and sometimes the bottom of the sides are open.  The hammer is a giveaway.

Search eBay for Leatherman holster, price and shipping lowest.  This looks close in size, you just need no tool.

First thing i did, and first thing in the OP. 

I want nylon instead of leather, but thanks for that link.

Maybe something from these guys would work for you. You might be able to have them customize it slightly. Multi tool sheaths/cases/pouches don't tend to be quite big enough.

You might want to check out pouches for flash-bang grenades.  With just a minor bit of work on your part to make a part-way divider, you can drop an extra cylinder in them as well.  Some of the pouches have "auxillary" pockets, into which you can drop a leatherman or any other tool so that the public purpose is indeed to carry working tools.

You know the measurements of your mini.  Pouches come in all sorts of sizes and materials, ways to close, and ways to attach for carry.  Find a few that look interesting, then calculate fitment.

Try this search. There is an outstanding wealth of functional options in images.
Some of the images look to me to be really useful "tool belt as holster", and most are nylon.  Each image will link to the web page displaying the image.

If it is mostly hidden then why worry about what it looks like and get something that "functions the way it should like a Holster?

As a multi tool pouch it would be mostly hidden, and if i reach up to a top shelf somewhere i won't have to worry about exposing it. Whereas, a regular  holster would be obvious if my shirt came up .    I have my reasons why i want this option

I live in a mostly warm weather climate and carry 3 minis and about 45 extra rounds on me every day all day comfortably. I'm sure you will find what works for you.

Wow. I am currently connecting from a location that blocks google.

What was that search string again? Keywords?

That's a wicked long URL for three words without tracking the poster.

Yes, that happens to me too sometimes.
And yes that is a wildly-long link.  But years from now it will most likely return the same results, whereas the three search words might bring back something different tomorrow.

Three steps:
1. google docom (not the image variety)
2. "multi tool pouch" (note spaces and singular)
3. second BLUE line down is the link to click ("Images for multi tool pouch")

If you get all the way down the first set of images, the "more images" will automtically load for you.

BUT, I suggest when you start google that you don't do the search immediately.  Instead, lower-right-hand of the google splash page, click on "Settings", "Search Settings", check "never show instant results", check "30 results per page", check "Open each selected result in a new browser window", then check on "Save."

Those steps will allow you to correct typos in your initial search entry without suddenly launching what google wants you to see instead of what you are asking for.  Thereafter you can click into images, view the links, then kill the link window without losing the search results.  Some of those links refuse to come back to the google search.
