A) For players who wear sunglasses, I generally think they are a fish.
B) Players who wear poker branded clothing probably play online and like to play poker so they may not suck as bad as someone who doesn't know the hand ranks, but again, I would tend to think they aren't all that great if they feel the need to try to indirectly tell me that they like to play poker.
C) Players who wear headphones probably play a lot of poker and they wear them to pass the time more pleasurably. They might not be very perceptive since they are conceding the key sense of sound.
D) I have a small pocket watch that I put over my cards to "protect" them so they don't get folded unless I fold them. I notice hardly anyone uses these in casinos and I'm not sure why. I think it's important to protect your cards. I also don't like using a chip because you might get all-in and then you'd lose your protector. Also, I could possibly see a problem if you went to protect your cards and the chip accidentally rolled into the pot when it was your turn to act. I don't really pass judgment on anyone one way or the other on this.
To be honest, though, I try to let players' actions do the talking and not put too much stock into generalizations.
