If you have girls, then yes. I used to collect cell phone cases that my pump would fit in. I dont use a lot of them anymore, though.

I have the animas ping. My pump fits pretty snug into the cases. I'm a pretty active 17 year old and my pump has never fallen out. Between jumping around on trampolines and climbing trees, I've not had any problems. The cases attach to my belt loop. The ping also comes with a leather case that clips onto the waistband of any pair of shorts or jeans (I dont use mine, so you can have that if you want it. If one breaks, they're $35 to replace). The pump also comes with a clip that attaches to the back of it. I like using that. Unfortunately, the edges are designed to break off if you put too much pressure on the clip. It's so if the pump gets caught on something, the clip will come off and the pump wont break. I built the edges back up with super glue and now it works fine. :)
In the rare event I have to wear a dress, I put an ace wrap around my thigh and clip the pump to that. Then when I have to bolus, I use the meter remote. That doesn't happen a lot, because I really don't like wearing dresses.
Anyway, I think I have like 4 or 5 cases. If you give me your email, I can send you some pix so the twins can decide if they like them or not.
One thing you can do with cases they don't like is use a bedazzler on them. Seems like a childish thing for a 17 year old to be doing, but hey, whatever works :)

The only reason I don't use the cases as much anymore is because I like keeping my pump in my back pocket.

Hi,
I saw your post last week and have been wondering if you had any luck getting what you needed? I have a 6 year old daughter on a pump; I couldn't even imagine having two of them. My heart goes out to your family! If you are still in need of pump pouches, let me know. We usually make a donation to JDRF every year, but I would like to put some of that $$ towards sending each of your daughters a new pouch. I know that sometimes it is the little things that help. I have send you a friend request; feel free to send me back a message with your information.
Aimee
