I've always used just the belt clip. Have only had one break over the years and MM replaced it.

I broke the spring on the belt clip and it just kept rotating. I went out and bought a leather cell phone case and it fits perfect. When you look for one, have them take it out of the packaging and put your pump into it to see if it fits. I found one that is a perfect fit, it has a magnetic clip to close it.

No such luck here - @$17.95 each.
I'm glad they replaced yours. :-)

Will the magnet adversely affect the meter - I lost one 715 meter in 2006 making frequent trips through a boarding scanner on a ship - even requested hand scanning. It was at that time that MiniMed sent out the notices regarding MRIs - MiniMed said there should be no impact from airport scanners, so they replaced the meter.

From now I'll request a hand inspection (if my wife doesn't take exception - just kidding!).

I have had no problem with it affecting it.

I have had the 722 pump for 2 years now. I broke the spring on the belt clip at 1 1/2 years, so I am on my second. I wasn't super thrilled about paying for the new one - it was like $25 after shipping as I recall. When I broke it, I was wearing a skirt (unusual for me) and had located the pump around the back of my waistband. I think I may have leaned back into it.

I've never had to pay shipping for items ordered from the MiniMed site.

My first on I broke getting out of my truck the first day. Started uning the Sports Case ACC-701. The local clenical specialest gave me a second one and have managed not to break it yet I ware it only on the weekends and use the sports case while I work.

Hi Debi,

I always seem to catch the meter (within the clip) on any kind of door, table, etc. It's one or both of the small plastic eyes that hold the retaining clip rod which breaks - I guess I just don't want to think of my waist being any wider. 8-) If it keeps the pump safe, it's doing its job.

Until my replacements arrive, I'm carrying the pump in my pocket. At night, I have to safety-pin my pocket shut to keep it from sliding out.

Gotta go for now.

If any color makes them stronger, I'll take one.
