It's funny, I've had my BP for well over two years. Until I recently got the case, I used the BookPort's belt clip all the time. It's a little loose, but it's not going anywhere. I wonder why it hasn't broken, I've had other devices with stronger belt clips break. Guess I shouldn't look that particular gift horse in the mouth, and now I don't have to worry about the clip, the case covers it. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: Chris Hill <chill000@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >Date: Sun, 01 Jan 2006 12:45:22 -0600 >Subject: [bookport] Re: belt clip Re: Re: old bookport, repair it or replace >it? >I like a belt clip, but it needs to screw on from the outside and be >sturdy. that way if it wasn't sturdy enough and it broke you could >replace it yourself.
