Packing heat with a cell phone wallet

(Credit: Uncrate)

So you can't live without your smart phone, but even the smallest ones are still too bulky to carry comfortably in your pocket. And you refuse to relive the days when you had a calculator strapped to your belt. (We can't blame you.)

The "Koffski No. 1 Wallet" might be just the answer. No ordinary case, it looks like a shoulder holster that would have fit nicely under one of Eliot Ness' three-piece suits.

This is no cheap knockoff either: "Made from fine Rugato calfskin in Tuscany, the wallet-bag features a premium look with water repellant leather and polished nickel parts," as Uncrate says, which explains its $450 tag. But if it helps avoid painful childhood flashbacks, it's a small price to pay. Besides, it's the perfect complement to the cell phone garter belt.

suicidal tendency

Conceptually great but contextually dangerous. Banks, federal buildings, airports, and just-robbed-the-other-night gas station/convenience stores would be on the short list for places not to reach into your jacket for something that looks like a shoulder holster.

Yes, dangerous

Sad to say but this product is an invitation to tragedy. It's not at all far-fetched
to imagine someone getting shot while answering a call in the wrong
environment. For 2006 this is bone-stupid design.
