Which hand do you grab it in? Your mobile, or PDA, that is...

Something puzzling here - the Grabit Pack is designed to hold all your portable electronic gear. Now, traditional sword sheaths were worn on the left, so as to leave the right hand free; but according to the Grabit suppliers, they're sold out of the ones that rest on your right leg.

Which leg should a right-handed geek favour, then? Do you pull the phone out with the same hand that you use to dial? or the other one? When you have it out, and you grab the stylus...?

We think you should ponder this a bit before going with the "I'll wait for the right-handed version" reflex; we think the left leg is probably a better option, in fact.

But the distributor says that the device costs $23 including shipping, but that's for California residents. It looks good! - no more mobile phones falling out of your shirt pocket when you bend over; and unlike the traditional bum bag, it doesn't flap up and down when you run.

The BMW driver approach to this is probably still the Scott-e-vest range, which actually include cables in some of the garments, but try to look like they're just clothes - defeating the "Techno Bill" urge of the true geek. But look at the prices! - cool defined another way...?
