TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

Last night I thought I lost Good ol' Dex (Dexcom Seven Plus), I panicked driving to the last place I was at and searched SUV floors & seats. Finally Hubby retraced my steps by driving to last building we were at without me and once he got back in garage he heard a sound (as he wasn't sure if it was a noise from a toy one of our three kids owned and as there are many toys in SUV) we had my trainer play an alert sound over the phone - sure enough it was Dex calling out. As Dex didn't call out to me while I was in car (I was within range), I took my transmitter out very very carefully. Ends up that I found Good ol' Dex wanted to go for a car ride and he was hanging on for dear life on the seat belt (between seat and wall of SUV between 2 doors) - I guess Dex started yelping for help. (LOL!)

Last night Dex kept falling off my waistband and his housing is too big for me to wear on my bra strap (Dex's house couldn't quite keep a good hold to my bra either).

Anyway, what do you house Dex in? I found Body Glove armband on Verizon's wireless phone website that has a velcro backing but yet the front is a clear plastic front with a drawstring pouch. Currently Dex is in the Body Glove pouch velcro'd around my bra strap (instead of using armband) until I can find something else. I was wondering if you don't use Dex's original leather case, what do you use? do you like it? where did you find it (where can I buy one?)??

Thanks in advance!

Just got mine today. Stays on much better than the one that actually comes with the Dex, hahaha! Verizon overnighted it to me via FedEx and didn't charge me for S&H. So I paid $2.97 and got it right away. Can't beat that!

I don't know if anyone else uses a pump, but I have the omnipod and the PDM is kind of big. So to have to carry around the OmniPod along with the dexcom that's a lot of stuff. I am obsessed with Very Bradley and they have a tech case (much more fashionable than the omni pod or dexcom case) I think that I am going to purchase one and carry that around. Does anyone else have anyother fashionable cases that are nice to carry around and will hold ALL the things!!

Are you talking about Vera Bradley?

Sometimes www.RueLaLa.com website gets stock that looks very similar to Vera Bradley, I think www.QVC.com also sells Vera Bradley.
