eXo Belt Clip -- some observations

[iScientist]

Some of my observations on the eXo belt clip. Lajo--Maybe this will help with the new clip design.

After two months of fairly continuous use, my eXo belt clip has developed numerous small fractures. The thin lip of the pivoting back plate seems particularly susceptible to developing numerous cracks--a too thin edge is probably the culprit.

The spring loaded retainer blocks have very significant gouging and some fracturing-- with constant metal (from the stud)wearing against plastic the blocks are wearing down quickly.

Once the stud is seated in the clip, torsional forces are causing radial stress fracturing.

I'd estimate the clip will fail at about 6 months.

You are right, the first clips were off the shelf and the Chinese factory must have used the least expensive plastic (a common practice here to reduce cost), I have since manufactured 20,000 clips with highest grade plastic to carry us before my own clip design will be manufactured. I dislike this generic clip and want to have my own design to complete my package. My team is working on the mold now. I am looking at a way in some sort of promot to get my new designed clips out to people, still have not figured how, but I will.
