Carrying Jabra 250
|

| Poseur 2005-06-27, 4:55 pm |
| My Jabra 250 came with some kind of cryptic looking clip that I
assume is supposed to facilitate carrying it around when it
isn't on your ear. Haven't figured out how to use it.
Instruction brochure doesn't mention it.
Anyone figure out a good way to have it handy when it isn't in
place? Although it has about grown onto my head, I think wearing
it all the time in public is kinda dorky (my 13 year old
daughter agrees strongly - but everything I do is kinda dorky to
her).
I usually slip it in a shirt pocket or over the collar on t-
shirts with the short end outside the cloth.
Anyone come up with something better?

No huge mystery there. The charging stand where you put the Jabra to
recharge it has a belt clip on it. I've never used mine and instead
use a spare phone pouch for it. The only disadvantage is that the ear
piece gets bent away from normal position and I'll have to "fix" it
before I can put it in my ear again. Aside from that wearing
anything on your belt like a phone case/pouch from a fashion point is
considered tacky, but I suppose it would be considered tacky to have a
phone bulge in your front pocket so someone could say "Is that a
cellphone in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" At least
the Jabra is somewhat discrete even though some people who have never
seen a BT headset will ask you if that's for your iPod/Walkman or
whatever. I find in my circle of 'geeky' friends only two other
people regularly wear theirs. I've gotten to the point that the next
mobile handset I buy has to have BT capability or I just won't buy it.

Thanks for your reply, now I also know how to use it -- never noticed
those small indentations on the charger that holds it in place! However,
I do not intend to use it attached to my belt, and since it's not
designed to clamp around a woman's purse strap, what do the ladies do
with it other than pack it around in their purse.
Until a small container or bag is discovered I'm using a Zip Lock bag and
it mainly lives in a a box between the car seats, or in my pocket along
with the cell phone. Have just ordered a bag for the cell phone, but
haven't found anything suitable for a BT headset. Who is going to be the
first to bring that to market?

| LOL....I use to get the same reaction from people, but, they
know I'm a techno-geek, so they just take it in stride now.
I pretty much wear mine 8-10 hours a day.
Although it has about grown onto my head, I think wearing

| Someone really should have hit on that , I agree. Problem is, whoever does,
will enjoy about 2 weeks of FAME before every overseas phone pouch maker
starts making one and selling on EBAY for $5 and shipping. Best thing is to
locate a small universal Phone carry Pouch. Most phones that are Small to
medium, especially what they call Candy bar style, will have a case with a
flap that would hold a unit the size of a Jabro 200-250 and the smaller ones
would hold say a Moto 810-820-850.
