I have actually done just that. After my beltclip holster popped off my belt for the umpteenth time and finally broke (the clip part, that is), I decided to file off what remained of the plastic nubs and stick on a "Micro-Swivel Clip" from http://www.theclip.com/

Now I have a great holster-style belt clip that not only works with oversize modules like the VisorPhone (can't wait!), but also swivels, so it keeps out of my way and doesn't pop off when I get into/out of my car. I highly recommend this mod, even if your holster belt-clip hasn't broken yet!

When you try to pull your Visor out of the case, does the whole case ever come off the clip? I assume you want the case to be clipped on pretty solid so that only the Visor comes off easily out of the case.

I just went to the http://www.theclip.com site (great referral!) and discovered that it's the same clip (and button) that came with my Rhodiana case. Does that mean the Handspring belt-clip holster will fit onto my Rhodiana belt clip?

That would be terrific. I can't wait to get a Visorphone, too, but I've been wondering about a belt-clip case that will hold an oversize module. In fact, I posted that question on VisorCentral but didn't get any solutions as elegant as this one! So now I'll order the Handspring belt-clip holster at the same time as my Visorphone.

I ended up buying an Ericsson one at Radio Shack, it came with both a stick-on button and a screw-on one. If the sticker fails (and it does come off if I keep my Visor clipped when getting into the car and don't rotate it) I'll take the brute force approach: get some kind of washer, and screw the button into it I don't know what part of the case will give after that, but it won't be the damn clip

The stick-on button seems to be holding up very nicely now though, I'm so glad to have my belt holster functioning again.
