(but they already think that anyway, so I suppose it couldn't hurt...)

(The flashlight was so comfy I forgot it was around my ear-- I didn't wear it on purpose) I would totally wear one when I was working with tools around the house.

I've been wearing a holster of some sort to help carry gadgets since ~1996. Back then it was a Newton....these days it's an e-holster and its carrying iphone 3g, pen, digital camera. Can't say as I've ever run into another person carrying gadgets in a holster.... I got the holster from thinkgeek, but haven’t gotten to trying it yet.

Some gadgeteer posted similar products (Civilian Labs) a couple weeks back- namely holsters for gadgets. I wish it was socially acceptable to wear holster for my iphone, and wearing it would lead one to believe I was "strapped" those are pretty cool.
