Pump Cases/Pouches

Check out the following link:
http://www.uniaccs.com/thumbnail.asp?id=2&cid=46

I have 2 of these and the only problem is that the belt loop on the back is only tacked on at the corners and comes loose very easily. My Cozmo pump, a vial of test strips and lancing device fits in it very well. I have talked to my GF, who is a pretty good seamstress, and she said she could improve the design.

What other improvements would make this item better?

Oh, by the way, I am going to sew that loop on with dental floss. That sucker won't come off again. LOL

I want the clippy one of that, but I am not willing to spend that kind of money atm.

I'm annoyed how expensive and generic some of the items are on that website. The bra strap looks just like a piece of Velcro. And for $12. Pfffttt!! The other one Sport pin in pouch looks just like a sock with a safety pin attached. I could make one myself for under $15. This person sells these on Ebay. Ugh!!

Here's a link to some cute pouches

They even have one that slide right onto your belt.

Men are not into cute pouches. What I want is constructive criticism.

What can be done to make the pouch I showed in the link better?

As I pointed out the link I gave has a picture of one that slides directly onto a belt and perhaps has better stitching that could be implemented on the current holders you have.

From your link we can't even tell what the back looks like. Maybe post a picture and we could give you a better idea.

That's debatable!

I have a cozmo, but have not started using it yet.
I have been wondering how I'm going to keep this mammoth device with me at all times.
On the clip, this thing reminds me of a nextel phone I once had. I hated that thing.

I think I'm going to try and make something like a gun shoulder holster. I am surprised I have not seen anything like that on the market. I will take pictures when it's done.
