..And here's the winner for the longest thread title of the month, ladies and gentlemen. :)

But seriously, today I was getting out of my car (a Pontiac Firebird, hence my avatar) ;) still wearing my T3 on its aluminium case attached to beltclip, when suddenly I hear a snap, and my heart went broken.

The belt clip got broken in half. "Uh? not a problem. I will get a new on the gazzillion places that sells cellular accessories."

Little did I know that the belt clip those cases use is quite unique (at least so far, because I can't find a replacement).

Any feedback on where I can find it on sale (by the bulk, by the looks of the longevity of my first one) :rolleyes: is appreciated as always.


Thanks.

Same problem here. I have the answer to all your problems!
Best Buy sells a product called "The Duro Clip." The company who makes it has a website here (http://www.theclip.com), but I can only find "The Duro Clip" sold wholesale. At any rate, this clip does not look like the one that came with your Innopocket case, but I can attest to the fact that it iworks perfectly with the small post on the Innopocket case. If you want to call them, their number is (858) 549-9244. If you go to best buy, the clip costs $9.99.

Make sure you buy "The Duro Clip." The company makes a lot of other clips, none of which are compatible with your case.

Here (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?j=1&CategoryID=cat08280&id=1051384836329&skuId=4047267&type=product) is the page at BesyBuy.com to purchase a Duro Clip.

Best of luck!

Now, that's a great idea!(TM)

Err.. I mean Thank you thank you. Already ordered it on Bestbuy.com.

BTW, Do you have pics of your case with that clip?

Once again, Gracias. :)

I don't have any pictures readily accessible, and by the time I made some, you'd already have your clip from BestBuy.com.

If I only had a Zire71... :)

24 days later....


HeHe!! FINALLY, My DuroClip arrived from BestBuy.com yesterday (well, on terms of shipping you got what you pay for; in my case nothing) ;)

However, A_nonnamis, you were right. The clip works like a charm. Perfect replacement for the original.

Thanks again.
