How do you carry all those gadgets?
In the recent discussion on Pocket PC Phone Etiquette we came to speak on the topic of carrying your gadgets. Which makes me wonder: how do you carry all those gadgets? If you want, you can send me a picture (resize to 320 x 240 pixels) and I'll create a photo gallery of some sorts. There's no prize to be won. Just fun to be had.

My preference is iPAQ on my belt, right hip, and my phone in my pocket. Co-workers and friends now ask me if everything is OK, if they DON'T see my iPAQ on my belt. They just know it goes everywhere I go. I call it my second brain.

It is NOT a Purse!!!
I've got multpile modes of transportation for all of my PDA's. As I have about 5 at the moment (iPAQ 3835, iPAQ 3765, Jornada 567, Clie NR70, and Jornada 680 HPC Pro), and really use 2 or so at any given time for a number of personal purposes and reviews, I need more than one way to carry my stuff.
I live in my iPAQ 3835. I have a Targus Tri Fold Wallet case that I use to carry it in when I'm out of the office. The Targus case functions as a wallet and checkbook holder and permits me to carry my Club Pocket PC 4x mode stylus/pen, iPAQ 3835, head phones (ear buds) and other personal info. Its the man-bag, but looks like some sort of day timer. The iPAQ is always in my PC Card sleeve. The PDA secures to the zippered portion of the case via a velcro strip on the back of the Sleeve.
In the office, I carry my 3835 in a Vaja Custom, ostrich leather PC Card compatible case with ultra clip. I find that I don't like carrying my wallet with me to every meeting, and the Vaja case allows me to wear my gadget on my belt, getting it out of my hands. I've usually got a lot of file folders or note pads/ meeting materials with me, and wearing it on my belt is a good compromise.
I am still looking for some sort of wallet cases for my Jornada 567 and Clie NR70; but ideally, I'd like to have something similar to what I use for my iPAQs. I'm really not interested in gumming up the back of my Clie or Jornada 567 with a piece of Velcro tape.
The Jornada 680 is basically out of general service, tho it is in perfect working order. When I did carry it full time, I used the same Targus case as I do with my iPAQs, securing it to the zippered portion of the case with a Velcro strip.
Ideally, I'd like some sort of wallet case for my Clie and Jornada 567 so that I can carry them when outside the office. Anybody have any good suggestions??

Hey, great topic!
Ericsson t68 on a belt clip or in my left pants pocket. Ericsson HBH-15 Bluetooth headset in a leather case clipped to my left pants pocket. iPaq 3870 and Cross Morph pen in a Nike travel wallet slung over my shoulder (incidentally, I also keep my cash, my credit card and my IDs in there)
Compaq foldable keyboard, phone and ipaq chargers, Leatherman Micro, a few car or photography magazines, and an Olympus mjuII with a couple of rolls of B&W film in a small leather Nike knapsack.
I like the stealth look. I do have two pairs of Mobile Pants but I mostly wear shorts and sneakers to work.

I use the European style / Man-bag. I use the Travel Clutch from Tumi.

I think I paid around $165 at Colorado Baggage about 4 or 5 years ago. Pretty good investment.
I carry my 3970, Sony Ericsson T68, Keyboard, Bluetooth Headset, Sunglasses, Credit Cards, and bills.

Never-ending thread.
Great, the never-ending thread - just like at "the site formerly run by Wes Salmon(TM)"
I cary my Psion Revo with a BodyGlove neoprane velcro fastened belt pouch. When I get my LOOX I am going to get a leather belt carried with an Untraclip or similar.

I carry my iPAQ 3835 with a CF Plus Expan Pack in my right pants pocket and my Motorola P280 in my left pants pocket. I wear Structure Slacks to work and cargo style khaki shorts out of work. Since most of my info is on my iPAQ I can now carry a small wallet instead of my leather filing cabinet from seinfield

I attached a belt clip to the back of the Ipaq 3835 cover pack and carry it on my belt. My cell phone on my belt also. And while at work I carry a 800 mhz 2-way radio on my belt too.
