I found this case yesterday in the trunk of my car. I believe I bought it years ago to jog with my Blackberry Pearl. It has a detachable belt clip that swivels and is almost exactly the right size and design for the G4. It even comes with an armband and corresponding slot which could be used with a belt - although that would orient it vertically.
The tag on the inside has a model number of CRC90677 which I was able to find on amazon for $10.

I use a body glove case for my MM pump and very happy with the quality. Many others I've tried had not lasted very long.
Love the idea of a detachable clip.

WHY can't Dexcom design practical cases for their products ?~!
Permalink Reply by Biff on January 1, 2013 at 10:44pm update: my case arrived 12/31 .. I'm really glad to have this case! it isn't a 100% perfect fit (the viewing window cuts off just a bit of the far left of the screen where the transmitter icon is) but it's close, and sooo much better than Dexcom's case. for those of us who keep our G4 receivers in our pants pockets, this case gives nice added protection without being bulky (I removed the little black plastic clip-attachment piece since I will not be using it). thanks again Mike for telling us about this.

Permalink Reply by Ahmad on December 24, 2012 at 10:42am Thanks Mike for the picture and the link. I just got my G4 yesterday and I do agree they did really a bad job in the included case. I ordered one as well, I noticed that Buy.com also have it, in case Amazon went out!
I did discus this issue with one of their representatives in a conference and they advise me to call customer service and complain, which I did for the SevenPlus new case
and actually they where nice enough to send me an old case for the SevenPlus.
I advise you and my self to give them a call and complain, they listen!

Permalink Reply by TV on December 31, 2012 at 4:35pm Awesome! I just ordered this case, too. Thanks for the head's up.
It now says 'only 20 in stock' so I'm guessing the supplier must keep a general stock of 20 items on hand. So: hopefully anyone can order and they won't run out! :o)
Permalink Reply by smileandnod on January 2, 2013 at 8:43am Thank you so much for sharing this, Mike. I just ordered one too. :) I have received my G4 but have still been using my Seven+ to use up old sensors and trying to figure out what the heck to do about a case for the G4.
The G4 case provided by Dexcom is silly if you actually look at your receiver during the day... maybe it's just me but why in the world would you design a case where you couldn't easily see the screen? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of monitoring?
Thanks Mike for sharing info on the case. Just recieved my new G4 and I have to agree with everyone, the supplied case isn't very practical. looks like yours will work well. Just ordered one on ebay for 6 bucks.
