How to Tote a Treo While Wearing Scrubs?
My wife just got a Treo 650 from work. The problem is she'll soon be expected to carry it around with her while at work, but she doesn't wear normal, everyday clothes. She's an anesthesiologist, so she's in scrubs 99% of the time. This poses a bit of a dilemma for toting the Treo around -- where do you put it and how do you attach it to yourself?
She's pretty small, so clipping it onto the waist of her scrub pants risks pulling them down (no lie). The Treo is significantly heavier than a pager (which it's replacing).
She has to bend down fairly often, so keeping it in the breast pocket wouldn't work -- it'll fall right out. She's considering clipping it into her breast pocket, which might work, but I don't see her enjoying that arrangement.
So, all you out there who've had to do the phone-tote whilst in scrubs, what was your solution? Lanyard? Belt-clip? Velcro? Garter holster?

It's a shame that The Bond Latch (http://www.npug.org/articles/1999/12/the_bond_latch.html) isn't still available because that would be the ideal solution.
But I did find that there's a lanyard solution called a "Bun-J" that could work. They have a lanyard and a zip model that might do just the trick.
You can find out more information at MyTreo.net:

Hope that helps!

Michael, yeah, I saw the BunJ and will probably point that out to Lori. Dunno if she wants a lanyard solution or not, but it's worth a try. Thanks a heap!

The garter holster sounds like a good idea to me, dude.

you might try getting a belt used by rock climbers to hold their chalk bags. pretty cheap and she could wear it as a belt or over the shoulder and just hook the treo to it
