"How is the clip on the case? Stronger than the clip on the dex case? I went to an app't. last week and couldn't find my dex when I got there. I assumed I had left it at home. When I got back to my car, there it was, on the ground by the…"

"I think that it's harder for women to find clothing with decent pockets. A lot of women's slacks have no pockets and some have pockets that aren't deep enough to safely hold the receiver."

"I LOVE this clip. I love that it rotates, and I didnt think I would like that. But it is much more convenient and can I say ergonomical? It moves with me. The higher profile isnt sexy, but it does help it rotate and honestly I need to have the…"
