PRS-T1 Fit in pocket?

patomonk · 12-27-2011, 11:32 PM

Just a quick question. Will the prs t1 fit into a man's shirt pocket? Thanks,

Travis

Only if it was an oversize shirt pocket. Maybe a 511 Tactical shirt's document pockets. The T1 is not exactly cellphone size.

Get the PRS-350 if you want a pocket reader.

Width wise, it fits in my jeans back pocket and most of my button down shirt pockets. The top will stick out of course.

hmmm, I double-checked mine against my shirt pockets. Some will fit it, some will not. But not what I consider an attractive look to have an ereader hanging out the shirt pocket.

even if it does fit, you'll look like a goof with a reader scratching out and weighing down your shirt. Seriously.

In a pocket, you risk it becoming broken. Not worth the risk (IMHO).

less risk in shirt pocket, though. I will stupid enough to walk around with my prs650 earlier this year, and it cracked.

I think T1 is more flexible than the 650 due to the plastic and rubber casing.

Rubble - is that before or after you drop it from your shirt pocket onto a paving slab ?

Or it gets bashed as someone bumps into you.

Eeek! way too scary to imagine carrying it in a pocket like that. You drop something on the floor and you instinctively bend over to pick it up - crash goes the reader. And like others have mentioned it's too big for a shirt pocket. You'll have your shoulder seam at your waist.

It's a light reader but it's not a shirt pocket light reader. Shirt pockets are for small things like pens and business cards maybe, not a reader.

I frequently wear a men's velvet business jacket and find the reader fits in either the side pockets or the inside breast pocket.

Thanks for the responses, I guess I won't get one to carry in my pocket!

The unit probably is more flexible, which means that cracking the glass substrate is that much easier.
