    I have to question the validity of their findings. It has been my observation, and I'm sure that of many others, that people who wear their cell phones in a "holster" tend not to be the most physically active group nor do they have the most balanced of diets.

    On the other hand, study after study has shown that lack of activity and poor nutrition will lead to poor bone density. #cellphoneholsters

    why do i look like a douche instead of having all kinds of shit in my pockets? i have a hip holster for my blackberry(7230), SanDisk sansa, DSi, and psp. and i dont even have a wallet. i carry a notebook with me wherever i go. i hate having shit in my pockets and im not quite ready for a purse.

    So if i look like a douche, fine. bone density? that wont bother me for at least 40 more years. #cellphoneholsters
