But i don't wear my pants as tight as Matt Hickey either. Just don't get a holster. I vote for the man-bag over the holster.

This is the "hipHolster" from UrbanTool It's from a company based in Australia I believe and comes in many more varieties and sizes than the 2 on TG. There are some interesting designs, colors, and variations. I think this is useful and have thought of picking one up. However, at no point in time do I want to look like I have a gun at my side in the Bronx or any of the boroughs.

I agree that this is quite, umm, geeky to say the least. More then 1 gadget? c'mon iPod and cell are pretty average, and the occasional thumb drive for school, but easier to toss it in the backpack. “pride, virginity, etc. ” almost fell off my seat on that one.

"# "If you ask me, anyone who’s carrying around more than one gadget is a douche." Someone seriously needs to go to remedial geek training. Yes DEFINITELY YES, wearing your phone on your belt DOES makes you a douche. Lets see - blackberry (or a cell if you are a newb), a palm or equivalent, maybe a PSP and a digi-cam at least - thats four. On a good day I might have TWO pockets. My average golf/polo only has one. T-shirts on weekends mostly have ZERO (a few have one). Oh, and wearing a fanny pack to the office probabaly will make you a douche (or worse, unemployed). Sorry, putting the cell in backpocket is fairly painful. Front pockets probably are worse (I dont have cell-reflecting undies yet - or ever). So what is the hangup over the holster? What!@TF? “#
