Smartphone in your back pocket? Cracked screen when you flop down on a wooden barstool. Front pocket? You're asking for nasty scratches should you throw some keys in there. The fix, apparently, are wtfJeans, denim designed for gadget lovers. They sport micro-fiber pockets to protect those screens, a hidden memory stick pocket to keep your infos semi-secure, and even extra padding and protection in
special places for male wearers. Granted, the styling is a bit... controversial, perhaps even Kris Kross inspired, but we're digging the look -- and the website, which encourages you to "wear them FTW" and offers special European beta pricing of €59 ($80) for the first 100 pairs. After that only 900 more will be made, and we're guessing they'll sell out quick, so order soon or you could be stuck wearing TLA-free pants. Drowsy unboxing video after the break!

How much stuff do people carry around. I put my wallet in my back pocket, my phone in one front pocket (jeans or sweater) and my keys in the other. Not once in the 8 or 9 years that I've had a phone have I had "accidentally" put my keys in the same pocket as my phone or iPod or what have you.
Something I might consider, but at 80EUR + shipping, I'll pass.
ah geez. you havent seen this.. have you? broken iStuff everywhere!

@Mattd00d I could've guessed that ;)
what kind of moron can't keep a front pocket dedicated to his phone and nothing else? it's worked for me for years.
also, those pants look like ass (lol?) and i wouldn't be caught dead wearing pants made for gadgets. we're supposed to make gadgets for work us, not the other way around.
What a totally new idea! (not)
I will keep my fashionable jeans and my phone shell thank you
The Dockers Mobile Pocket Pants have always served me. They have a hidden zippered pocket along the seam. It's unfortunate they were discontinued.
i've had my iphone3G since launchday sans protective screen or case (i feel gadgets are meant to be au naturel). i wear 5-pocket jeans all the time, and i just keep my iphone in the coin pocket with the screen facing my body. it fits perfectly. thru work and play, no scratches on the screen and the casing still looks decent after 2 years.
just don't hang upside down, you'll be fine.
