BoxWave Swivel Belt Clip - Model C (Black)

BoxWave Swivel Belt Clip - Model C
  • High quality, simple-to-use, and detachable belt clip
  • Spring belt clip that rotates 360 degrees
  • Includes a durable metal screw that fits perfectly into your belt clip placeholder
  • Available in black and frosted clear color
  • Only compatible with selected BoxWave cases

I find myself at this product page to order two replacement belt clips because the one supplied with my Boxwave Palm TX case wore out in just 5 months! The case itself is very nice and the belt clip is a good design, but the clip materials are soft and weak.

I typically use the belt clip just to transport the TX from home to office; it sits on my desk at both places most of the time. So it gets about 15-20 clip/unclip cycles per week not much compared to those who travel with one all day.

Yet after about five months, the clip wore out to the point my TX has fallen out two or three times I'm lucky it wasn't damaged. The problem is that the plastic clip ramp the screw slides on is quite soft and just wore down to the point it's no longer tall enough to secure the TX in place. If Boxwave had used a more-durable resin plastic (fibreglass-embedded would have been nice), or metal, it would last much longer.

Even though it's only five months to failure, Boxwave is using their 100-day policy to refuse a replacement. So BEWARE that you will likely need to buy more of these as well, due to poor-quality materials chosen by the manufacturer.
