How do you "wear" your U2?

qsun · 12-14-2004, 09:02

Calling all U2 users! Just curious how you carry your U2? I just bought one and I miss using my clip-on remote for my HDD player. Is there a way that you attach your U2 to a coat or bag strap. I tried using the necklace, but it gets tangled whenever I took the player off and put it in my backpack. The included case is nice, but the belt loop is extremely limiting for the ways to carry it around. Any ideas?

Hi qsun!
I usually wear my U2 on my way to work, and then I'm wearing a shirt so I put the U2 in the breast pocket. That's why I bought this nice and small piece: it fits there just great!

I'm curious about this as well! I usually have mine in the inner pocket of my jacket. The included neck-chain is quite nice, but it seems a bit too long, making jump a lot from side to side when you walk with it.

Yeah I agree, it's too long :/ but I wear it around the neck anyways, makes it very easy to access the player.

Here is my temporary fix for attaching my U2 to a back pack strap or anywhere else. It's not quite the same as what I have, but if you go to www.lanyardsupply.com and scroll down to about 2/3 of the way down to "badge clips" you'll see a bull dog clip with a strap. I put the strap through the belt loop of the U2 case and just clip it anywhere like on a jacket flap or a back pack strap just like I clipped my HDD remote. It's easily accessible and I can use the short neck cord earphones to keep the tangle to a minimum. Hope that helps someone.

I use my self-modified armband.

There is a small clip on the neck cord that can be used to shorten the cord to any size. Only problem is then you'd get a small piece of the cord sticking out from behind your neck...

Super idea! Big help. I was was on the edge of buying one of those adhesive clips from www.theclip.com for my I5 when I stumbled on this thread. I went and raided my closet, pulled out an old badge clip and voila! The clip solution of my dreams - cheap, easily removeable, secure, small, and lightweight.

qsun, you are my hero today
