Belt clip or pocket (or elsewhere)?
Matt Wood | May 7 2006
Just curious, how many of you carry your cell phone/Blackberry/PDA on a belt clip vs. in your pocket or elsewhere, like a bag, bandolier, Baby Bjorn, six-gun holster? I was always a pocket person before but lately I've been using the belt clip that came with my smartphone, and while I like the easy access, especially when I'm sitting, I can't shake the feeling that I look like a poser trying to show off my fancy gadget. I suppose this question is a little slanted towards men, but I'd be interested to hear anyone else's thoughts on why they carry the way they do. 6 Comments

Pocket. Always pocket. Whenever I get a new phone, I feel compelled to use a case or holster to keep it looking pristine (e.g. safe from keys, etc.) but always end up reverting to a pocket-carry. During my brief foray into Blackberry-dom, I sported a belt clip because it was just too big to carry in a pocket. I'm back to a flip-phone now and it is almost always in my pocket. I'm not so worried about looking like a poser with it on my waist, but sometimes it's just uncomfortable (in the car when you're trying to fasten the seatbelt...). » POSTED IN:
