Opinions: Handspring Plastic Beltclip
| Glenn | clip doesn't hang on to belt tight enough | 
| The end of the clip that hooks around to keep it from sliding off of your belt isn't as effective as other clips I've used. The sides are curved so that the hook part is really only a crescent shape. This allows the hook to slide off when the device is rotated sideways on the belt. I've had the holder rock sideways on my belt and come unclipped more than once. Once it was while clearing the snow off my car (my coat must have pulled it off without my noticing it while I was reaching over the windshield). It landed in the soft snow without a sound, and I retrieved it during the spring thaw where the snow plows had piled up the snow from the parking lot. Needless to say, it was trashed, but at least handspring replaced the visor(albeit not the beltclip) under warrenty. |
| IQ | No Broken Clips Here | 
| I was suprised to read the negative comments about the belt clip. I have worn it almost every day since April, sitting, walking, driving, etc. and the product has worked wonderfully. |

| They were smoking crack. This thing rocks.
"The clip is flimsy" Maybe if you are Andre the Giant.
"When I reach for it I sometimes pull the springboard cover off" Umm, no, perhaps you should lift from the bottom instead of pulling on the cover.
"It's made of cheap materials" It's black, hard, and fits on your belt, were you expecting titanium?
"It broke when I sat down" Do you have a fat ass? I'm 6' and 245lbs, so not exactly "thin" and I have no problems sitting in my car, office chair, folding chair, SUV seat, ride seats at amusement parks, etc etc etc...
This clip is very efficient, very simple and very uncostly. I highly recommend it. |
| gunjinn | It clicks? Mine doesn't. |
| In fact.. up until now I didn't know that it should lock in place. Mine slips out too easily and at the worst times.. like driving, sitting on a bus.. etc.
Handspring missed the boat here. |
| Anonymous | Nice but fragile |
| Used mine for a month. Very comfortable but clip broke when climbing out of the car. I'm now using a Palm beltclip case - much better. |
| cliff | Clip broke |
| Mine fell apart while I was walking,
dropping my Visor onto a concrete floor.
I was very lucky that no damage occured
to my Visor. |
| Anonymous | Nice BUT, unprotected |
| I use the slipper case from www.ebcases.com and it is much better in the real world. |
| John | Mine broke too |
| Mine broke too after a few days. (while sitting down) Sounds like replacing the clip makes it work. |
| Anonymous | Clip is Very Fragile |
| I bought the cost-effective Plastic Beltclip about 3 months ago and was very disappointed that the clip snapped off the second or third time that I sat in my SUV. I do not believe that this solution is favorable for anyone other than doctors, managers or others that are are standing and walking for the greater portion of the day.
I would buy another one today if I thought that it would last more than a week, because it was convenient while it lasted. It was just constructed of cheap materials and not designed to endure much adversity. |
| Jim | Broke the 1st day |
| The clip has no give , I went to sit down while wearing it and it broke within 2 hours of using it. Sent back for a full refund and purchased a Rhodiana case with a swivel belt clip, I love it! |
