Believe it or not, the Pocket Protector has come a long way. And just to show you how far, there's a pocket protector online museum that displays over 500 of those geeky holders! Once a pocket to hold your pens is now more tech-friendly, with the release of the Pocket Protector 2.0 from Archie McPhee.

The Pocket Protector 2.0 features multiple storage compartments to hold not only pens, but also USB flash drives, memory cards, MP3 players, and other pocketable gadgets. What's cool (or shall I say, "nerdy") about this model is its 36-inch lanyard to hang around your neck instead of storing it in your shirt pocket. The 25 included resuable transparent cling stickers can be used to proudly display your geekiness.

Since geeks are most likely spending their hard-earned dollars on PCs, HDTVs, and gaming consoles, this pocket protector is cheaply priced, at just $4.95.
