The Push pack would be a nice one for hiking, not so good for biking or jogging (or chain-sawing!), where it would flop around too much.

Is there a big retailer in the Houston area that carries more than a couple of options along these lines? A "carry superstore" type of place?

Some of the belt holders and fanny packs on the internet appear to have promise, but the seller will only show one photo, zippers closed, etc. so it's difficult to get a feel for the utility of the product.

It can discreetly carry glock 19 allowing fairly quick access. It's great for joggers, hikers, or bikers or anyone else who doesn't, mind a fanny pack.
I do realize you said you don't want a fanny pack, but for the purpose you are describing, this is worth consideration.

I am interested in hearing about any additional options that could also hold an iPhone plus conveniently. This 511 appears to be such a well-designed product, especially with the design of the rapid opener (which I realize some other brands do have). But it's not versatile. It has no potential to include the universal help-summoner known as the telephone. The OP in this thread is talking about chain sawing (among other activities). Well, I've done my share of chain sawing, and I don't recommend that anyone do likewise without a phone on their person, because accidents have the potential to be really bad.

I went through some recent threads, looked at the linked products of this type, and didn't really see any belt or fanny pack devices that served both purposes. Anyone have additional suggestions? Thanks.
