This is true, but for those of us who actually use the belt clip a lot, $65
is a pretty steep price to pay to get a new one. The unit also has to be
sent in so they can replace the case, which, if you use the bookport to read
school matterials like I do, can be a big inconvenience.

I've never been very excited about belt clips anyway. I would rather have a thin plastic case that leaves the keyboard accessible and maybe a neck strap so the thing wouldn't end up on the floor. All the clip means to me is that I can't put the unit flat on a table for braille input.
The $65 charge for a new case doesn't suprise me and is probably quite reasonable. They probably have to charge for the whole case even though you only need the back half. And who knows exactly what is involved in changing the back half, it might be quite simple or somewhat complicated, I'm not about to take it apart to find out. If they sent you the case and you screwed up then there would be even bigger problems.
