This shirt I bought from Kohls. I like the fact that it has two pockets, but the pockets are a bit smaller than I imagined they'd be—one pocket is barely large enough for my phone, and not at all large enough for my phone and a pen. On the plus side, the shirt's size was pretty accurate and the price was reasonable. Cost: $18.00 + 5.95 shipping + 1.08 tax ($25.03 total).

This shirt was purchased from SCOTTeVEST. It has one pocket, although other styles on the site have more. My phone feels a bit awkward in the position it's carried, but the zipper makes it secure, and the fact that the bulge under my arm makes it look as if I'm packing heat probably helps to ensure my late night safety in convenience stores. The size seems to run a tad on the small size, but not too much. The pocket completely envelopes my LG Volt with room to spare. Cost: $35.00 + 15.00 S&H ($50.00 total). A nice shirt, but at that price it's going to get very lonely for its family in my closet.

For what it's worth, my phone's dimensions are 5.17" x 2.6" x 0.42" (131 x 66 x 10.7 mm).

Thanks for the update. Yeah, even though it has a collar, that's an expensive shirt. I think the t-shirts have another pocket sewn into the side seam, but they only have two color choices and I don't care for black in short sleeves (too hot in Texas for a black shirt in the summer) and the other was olive green. I am not an olive green person. I look rather pallid in such a color. I'm waiting for blue, periwinkle, denim or something!

I do think it's cool that you look bad-ass in it (packing heat reference). That's always a bonus. :>)

Actually, the tees there at which I was looking have three pockets. One is in the same location as in the polo, the other two are on one side of the shirt, with what looks like one opening for both. One pocket opens to the front and the other to the rear.

Yeah! I'm bad!

FYI, Vera Bradley seems to be having a 25% off sale today (and you should be able to get an additional 3% off by going through Ebates first ).

Ah, too bad their new models won't be available for a few days yet. But I suppose that's the reason for the sale. I'm still looking at their bags, but I don't think I'll buy a small one. But I have a few hipster models in my wishlist.

The critter in your avatar seems to be wearing a stealthy device-concealing skirt.

I like a lot of the SCOTTeVEST stuff I've discovered via this thread, but this one with 42 pockets is probably overkill.

I do like the 3-pocket Bamboo Polo, and I have coupon for free shipping until the end of November, but they don't have my size. Guess I'll just keep checking back in case things change between now and the time the coupon runs out.

42 pockets! Things could get lost for months in a vest like that!

And at last you could experience what it is like to be a woman with a HUGE purse...

I'm waiting for them to put the one pair of women's pants on 75 off. Because at 85 dollars, they are going to have to have a heck of a sale.

I did buy the hemp/cotton t-shirt that I linked to a while back. No pockets but I've been wanting one and they have cobolt blue!!!

They have a line of solid colors (quilted microfiber) in black, raisin, blue and now red (link is to all black, but each item comes in other colors):

Lately I've been using their triple-zip hipster in a print. I have my PW2 and HD6 in the 2nd zippered pocket (the top zip is the main compartment).

I am addicted to Vera Bradley products. For a long time, I couldn't imagine using something with such a loud design, but I was in the market for a small wallet big enough to hold my cellphone, keys and my driver's license. There was a Vera Bradley style that I thought might work and I bought it to try. (Discontinued, Double ID Wristlet in Happy Snails. I would still be using it if my phone hadn't gotten too big for it.)

Now I buy Vera Bradley for toting around my electronics; while my purses and other tote bags lean toward solid colors or subtle designs, my computers and portable electronics sport cheerful Vera Bradley prints. (Suzani, Canyon and Olivia Pink)

For my ebook reader, I use the Tablet Hipster (in Canyon). It works great for either my Nook HD+ or my iPad, but it is a bit tight when I want to carry the kids' Kindle Fires at the same time.

I have been looking hard at the Mailbag (I love the new Ziggy Zinnia print!), but it seems big, even when I remind myself that I need it to be bigger to hold four tablets and spare batteries.

I didn't mean to start gushing. Apparently I'm more enthusiastic about these bags than I realized.

I've been looking at the mailbag too. I didn't know about the tablet hipster, but from the buyers' comments it would be too small for me. But mostly I've been eyeing the new models, and they are now available! There is also a free wristlets and free shipping if you buy enough, but that's probably only for US customers.

Erm...yes, well, with an e-reader, no need to get those pants. Or hardback books.
