Your Music Your Life Holster, http://www.ymylholster.com/

Every time a person leaves their house, he or she leaves with the essentials. This usually comprises keys, phone, identification and at the least two forms of payment. If you were born after the year 1980, this also includes an iPod (or iPhone). ¬ÝHow these items are carried ranges from purses, briefcases and pocket.
¬Ý
Subsequently, how they are organized throughout the day can get very hairy. ¬ÝWhen you're online paying for your Chai Latte or Gucci slip ons on sale at the Barney's Warehouse and you can't find that damn wallet you can feel the hot breath of the lady (or female) behind you.

When venturing out on the town at night, the mode of transportation for these essentials is often a key component to the look of the night. Women usually choose something that can be kept on close guard at all times. Whether it be an over the shoulder or under the arm hold, or the more elegant but carpal tunnel enduing death-grip on a small clutch purse, the essentials are always close at hand. ¬ÝFor a gentleman, carrying a clutch purse, in most cases, is not the best option. As a general rule, if you wouldn't feel comfortable getting photographed by paparazzi on the red carpet, leave it at home.

I recently discovered an item of my dreams at coolhunting.com. The "Your Music Your Life" holster is a small leather pouch attached to two straps. It looks like a gun holster yet it rides lower near the elbow. They come in two sizes, small and large, and also come in brown and black -- your two fashion basics. ¬ÝClassic and genius and seriously what gentleman wouldn't feel that extra uber-cool sporting a James Bond-esque ˆ©tui de transport.

Meant for an iPod, it has an internal division which is perfect to divide a couple of bills of cash and a piece of identification along with a small cell phone. Complete with a button claps, this accessory complements any outfit. It keeps your essential items near your person at all times so you don't have to worry someone might walk off with your wallet should they grab the wrong Thom Browne blazer you take off should it get warm under the tents at the Ritz. Plus no more bulky pockets ruining that streamline silhouette you worked so hard for!
