Jeff,

Put your camera on a lanyard and wear it around your neck.

I've done the same thing as you before. The little side waist camera bags just don't work for me. I try to place in the pouch without looking and then dropped them on the ground.

Although the last one was lost due to uneven concrete at the walkway which got wrote up as a safety hazard on my report.
