Cell Phone Tether:
If you don’t put your phone in the locker and have to carry your phone with you, then I definitely recommend a tether so that you can have it attached to your belt loop or a fanny pack. If a thief comes by and tries to take it, but feels resistance, he will immediately stop and move on. They won’t purposefully get into an altercation. So this is a MUST HAVE if you’re going to take your phone with you to take pictures\/videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a>

Shorts w\/ Secret or Zipper Pockets:
If you don’t use a tether, then you’ll need to hide your phone in secret pockets where crooks can’t get to. Again, they want to make a quick escape, so they’re not going to feel into your pants to grab a phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a>

Leg\/Ankle Bag:
Another way is to put your phone down by your ankles. Yes, this will cause the phone to be further away from you. But the thieves are moving quickly through the crowd and they will not be scanning below your pockets much. This isn’t as safe as a tether, but would be a good alternative. This is how I personally carry around my phone and festivals and parties. So you can get an armband and just put it around your ankles instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/a>

Compression Socks:
And if you don’t want the bulk of an ankle bag, then having nice compression socks may do the trick. Just stick your phone into your sock and it’ll be hidden away. It just might be a little uncomfortable dancing with the phone stuck to your calf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whatever you decide, just make sure you have some sort of anti-theft plan! Watch my video from last year’s Dreamstate to hear about the methods I use. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
