I had this case already for a mini disk recorder I had purchasd and I =
find
it to work quite well with my BoopPort.
It has 2 mesh pockets, front and back, the BP fits into one, and I put =
the
earbuds in the other. The outer cover of the flap is leather and the =
belt
part is very stable with a good plastic buckle latch and well made.
Both of those pockets are open however and one has to take care and not =
let
contents fall out of either. The two flaps and are closed via velcro.
I got the case from Crutchfield. www.crutchfield.com
The part number and item name is:=20
158MDCASE3 Sony MDCASE3 Net MD Walkman Armband=20
Cost was $14.99=20
I haven't seen any problems with using the BP belt clip myself and have =
used
it a little bit, though I do prefer to have the unit in a belt case or
something like it.=20
As for this update stuff...
I am still a new BP user and have not tried any of this firmware =
software
update stuff yet.
After reading all of these issues you folks have been having,, I'm =
content
to just stay with using my unit for reading at present and I don't know
about using the firmware update. I was surprised at reading about using =
the
headphone since I thought I had read in the manual not to have them on =
while
hooked up to the USB port. =20
? - So when I first hook up the unit, I have to actually okay the =
update? I
thought that the Transfer utility did it all automatically. Maybe =
someone
can set me straight.

Ok, After the third time I have had the unit fall off my belt I=20
have made an executive decision. I am taking my bp to the machine=20
shop tomorrow and having the POS belt clip removed! And then I am=20
taking it to a leather worker that I know and having a case made=20
for it. Actually I am stealing a clip off of an old Motorola cell=20
phone case and having him make me one. At a cost of $400 I can=20
not afford to have a cheap assed belt clip cost me my unit. If=20
there were one area that needs to be addressed it is this one.=20
for me I am solving it myself, but how many users out there do=20
not have the access to a machine shop or leather workers that can=20
solve an inherent design flaw. So far this is my one and only=20
complaint about the unit. for all of us I would ask that APH=20
takes a look at this.
