Pump for Cozmore

Does anyone know of a good alternative case with a belt clip that works with the Cozmo (thick enough to include the attached meter)? I'm looking for something with a neutral color (black would be best).

The only case that Smiths Medical has is made with easily breakable plastic for the belt clip and I decided to stop buying them after the last one's belt clip broke before I even put it on for the first time.

Look at cell phone cases in places like Target.

Often the packages they come in will open and reclose, so you can try out your pump in them.

Be careful the case has no magnet though, that will set off alarms in the pump.

As Lloyd says try a cell phone case. Another option is a digi camera case.

I haven't tried one, but the Invisapump looks like a good, strong solution. I wrote to them about the clip and was told it is extremely strong material.

They changed vendors or materials or something

Wish I had started pumping 15 years ago

Since Smiths Medical has given up, I hope there will be more options available in 2 or 3 years - if not I may just go back to MDI

Thank you for the replies

I have been looking for cell phone cases, but haven't found a good one yet... that's why I posted. I knew not to use magnets.

I just got the pump in September, and the last case I bought (I got it on Friday) was broken before using it. If they have switched vendors recently, it isn't working out too well (or I'm getting some really old stock).
