@zen******* carries these. They clank when he walks.

I am learning to carry my very own, but it's harder than you think, until you get used to the weight.

Cool, thanks for the replies folks. I think I knew the answers already, but I just wanted to make sure my line of thinking was in check with everyone else. Sounds like keys, wallet, iCrack/dumb-you-down phone are the most common. Followed by what your packing' to fleece out bad guys.

Yea...I use a Crossbreed IWB holster at about 5 o'Clock and it would be cool to be able clip the iPhone to the outside of it somehow.

So do i, the last thing I would want is to clip anything on it around it. Effectively reducing my ability to use it under stress. If you can navigate around a phone to pull your weapon, you probably aren't in enough danger(immediate that to life) to be pulling it!

I can't totally let the cat out of the bag just yet, but in time I will. I'd love to pass on updates to the forum once I get the ball rolling. However, I need to ask a question of you.

"What do you almost always carry on yourself?"

Is it underwear? I know some of probably go commando. Keys, watch, belt, smartphone, bling rings???

I know it's strange question, but in time I will give some insight. It's sunny outside, so time to get off the confuser and enjoy it.

I carry a phone, wallet, keys and a Ruger LCP. Sometimes I carry my iPad Air, a notebook, pens and shit in a leather portfolio.

I already have the idea/concept and a rough working prototype, what I'm looking for now is the medium (wallet, watch, key chaing, ccw) that it will best fit into. Or, based on the feedback and suggestions possibly a few items. I know that's pretty vague, but I'm looking to build it into in something that people tend to always carry with them. Once I feel more comfortable with "things", I'll explain more.

I was looking at CCW purses on Alibaba a while back. There seems to be room on Amazon for someone to do a better job.

Yup, so what I really need is a glock holster iphone combo case with a key ring on it.

Thanks, but a little old school for my line of thinking. Thinking of more current personal electronics that would have been purchased in the last 2-3 years.

Had an addition on that idea:

Professional security (bouncer etc) could have multiple vibrating components (R and L - bicep/ankle/shoulder/wrist would be eight) which each would correspond to 'sectors' where all of the security would be paged if there's a problem.

No earpiece required, you could just have a button next to the vibrating portion, where security could page the entire unit to their area by touching their wrist or bicep. I think that would be a great way to keep security subtle, if that's something you're interested in.

I just wanted to say, you're welcome because I've done the heavy lifting so far: I've done the real work of spending twenty minutes thinking.

Now you just have to do the easy work of 6-24 months of:
  • Product Development
  • Manufacturing Engineering
  • Manufacturer Selection (Domestic v Int'l)
  • Tooling
  • IP Protection
  • Marketing/Advertising/Distribution Channel Selection
  • Sales
  • Distribution/Fulfillment (don't forget customs if you go int'l w/man'f!)
  • Billing/financing
  • Tax/corporate governance
Some people just have everything handed to them!

Are you looking to invent something based on the responses?

Keys, wallet, cell phone dip can and pen. Anyone else do the butt pat to make sure you have your wallet?

Keys and wallet. I used to always carry my firearm but I've become complacent. I need to get back on that.
