Hey guys,
Any suggestions on where I can get a good case for my new minimed 723 pump. I basically want to use it at work so it cannot be funky. I tried their website but I do not see any good pics for those available.
Thanks

Universal Cellsuit Crc90567 by BodyGlove.
The 723 is slightly larger than 523, so it might stick out the top by 1/4 inch. But I love that this case has a clear window, and I can see the screen, and press the buttons without taking it out. I also like that it has rounded edges. I have one that I removed the clip from, and often just tuck it in my pocket.
Available on Amazon

Here's a pic with the 523.

One thing I found is that there are limited choices in stores because there is such a variety, but tons online. But then it's hard to know if it will fit or not, and very few on-line descriptions give dimensions.
Good luck !

I bought the leather case that Medtronic advertise on their website. It does the job fine and is designed to fit the 723 perfectly. I didn't like the velcro closure when I first got the case but as the leather becomes more supple over time it sort of works perfectly now. Comes in three colors, Black, Brown and Camel. $29.00
