I'm always excited to discover ways people come up to allow us to bring all the devices we need for our daily grind. Just take a look at the devices people carry with them in Lifehacker's "Show Us Your Go Bag" gallery. While ladies have their handbags, us guys only have our pockets.
In the past, I've reviewed interesting ways to carry all our devices, such as the Urban Utility Belt that I still use occasionally, and the e-Zio Case System that I don't really want to wear in this day and age.
My latest discovery is a product called CellKeeper. It's a carrying case that you can wear across your shoulder, around your waist or hooked to your belt strap.

There are three variants of the CellKeeper - the Original, Professional and Sports. They also come in a variety of materials, from faux leather to cotton herringbone exterior. The Professional is slightly larger for people that needs the extra space, while the Sports variant uses washable material for active people. I got to review the Original version that according to the website, "will fit 95% of your wearable needs". And I have to agree with them, as I'll demonstrate later in the review.

The CellKeeper has an exterior pocket with an elastic snap closure. And it is this elastic snap closure that lets you put in a variety of devices. I tried it with the Motorola RAZR and the iPod touch, and that elastic snap closure does its job. At the side of the pouch is a loop to store a pen, useful when you're out and about.






Inside the CellKeeper is a zippered pocket that's very useful for loose change, a clear pocket for cards or passes that you need to quickly show authorities, and 4 other pockets for cash, business cards or credit cards. There's also a key hook that you could use for your keys or to hook onto your belt.


The CellKeeper's wearable system lets you adjust the straps and hooks to best fit your waist or shoulder. There's even a shoulder pad for comfort.



What do I think of it? The CellKeeper's wearable system needs some practise to get used to wearing it across your shoulder or around your waist. In the end, I preferred using the CellKeeper without the straps, and just used the key hook to attach to my bag, or belt. I don't really fancy the cotton herringbone material, so I'd suggest trying the faux leather exterior. However, I believe the cotton herringbone exterior is a hardier material.
The CellKeeper would be useful when you're travelling - your ipod within easy reach in the external pouch, while the inner pockets hold your ticket stubs, or small amounts of cash and change. Wear the CellKeeper across your shoulder and in front of your person to deter pickpockets and your wallet safely kept away from view in a trouser pocket.
