There are clips that are not open at the bottom; that is, they're fully closed and you must slip your belt through the clip. This kind of clip cannot possibly fall off. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Julia Cosgrove (Mrs.) Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 5:56 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: suggestion for bookport clip Hello Mark and Listers As regards the clip, I never trust them completely as you could clip something on your waist band and, in bending over, the item would slip off. Also, the clip, to me, is upside down when you want to press the keys! However,as someone suggested, it is less easy to write on a flat surface with the clip in the way. One solution to this is perhaps for APH to make a type of cradle for the Book Port to sit in when writing and/or even a top with it to protect the keys. I personally find that a belt-bag is the best thing. This has one pouch for the Book Port, another for the PX-100 headphones and an even smaller pouch which would hold either batteries or extra flash cards! Julia. >Hi, list. I have a possible suggestion for the BP clip. I'm sure APH uses the best components available for the BP, but the clip is plastic, after all. I broke my clip, and I was told that the only way to replace it was to pay $65 and get a whole new case. Could this situation be fixed? Could the clip somehow be designed so that I don't have to pay so much to replace it? Something else that is a possibility is to make a detachable plastic case and clip for the BP, sort of like the plastic case/clip that is made for certain cell phones. What do the rest of you guys think? I personally think that $65 is ridiculous to get a new clip. > >Mark -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
