Is Wearing Your Phone In A Belt Holster - Dorky?

Pretty straightforward question here. Is wearing your cellphone in a holster on your belt DORKY?

Yes, but I am an engineer, so I don't care.

The only thing I wear in a belt holster is a spoon. The phone goes in a pocket...

I voted no - but I slip mine in my pocket because it is so small and lightweight, when I need to carry it. Usually I just leave it in the truck when I'm working. I have voice mail.

Yes - dorky - but in a cool old-school-Star-Trek-communicator-sort-of-way (which is why my Motorola Razr is still in its holster on my belt...)

My phone stays in my fanny pack, so no I'm not a dork!

Yes, it is dorky... But carrying a phone in your pocket is a PITA.

Carson Kressley recommends not using a holster.

My phone goes in my back or cargo short pocket. Having a phone is a Dork, what are you talking about?

No more so than a plastic shirt pocket protector.
