How do you carry around your handheld(s)?

Post by Deftism »

Ok this is a strange topic but here it goes. I'm a guy who often wears jeans, and I find that I have limited pocket space for cumbersome handhelds. PSP's and DS' are rather big to carry around in a pocket. They either stick out a bit or it looks (feels) like I'm carrying around a brick in my front pocket. I usually have my wallet and keys in one pocket, and cell phone/pack of gum in the other. Even my GBA SP is really bulky when I put it in the cell phone pocket. So I end up rarely carrying around a handheld system with me.

The only solution I can think of is wearing a man-purse but that's too... feminine... for my taste. Maybe a back pack? It kind of looks strange when wearing business attire.

How do you guys carry around a handheld system when you go out?

This is why I usually play my PSP at home lol. Wallet and keys already take up too much space in my pockets. Plus, I have to carry my bulky mp3 player and AC adaptor with me to work every day lol

Only handheld devices I'll carry (or would be willing to carry) are the Dingoo and GBAm. iPhone is nice and small as well and I carry that around always. I wear jeens as well, and not very baggy ones, although not skinny either (I wear 30x36 incase you are wondering)

I wear jeans that are just slightly bigger than my recommended size, along with a belt. Then my pockets are nice and roomy.

Just a thought, can this be merged with the what handheld do you take with you thread?

Yeah, I'd say that the iPod touch/iPhone is the handheld I tend to take with me, since it is super slim, plus it doubles as a music player and web browser. I tend to use the ds or psp only when I'm sitting down at home for an extended period of time. BTW when I go shopping for pants, one of the things I check is how much I can fit in it, since I carry random stuff in my pockets :lol: Other than that, I use my coat pockets.

I strap my giant four player MAME cabinet to my back.

I wear my PSP in one of my three fanny packs (the pink one).

I wear Levi 569s and my pockets are plenty big for either handheld. I generally forget my DS is there. I don't usually carry my PSP in my pocket, as I'm afraid of damage. But it fits just fine when I do. If your pockets are too small, you're probably wearing emo jeans.
