I found a near perfect belt case for my Comzo pump. It a Moda Casi for
cell phones, US$8 at my local Target. They actually had two models
that work well, one is vertical, the other horizontal. Unfortunately,
I didn't save the packing so I don't know the model numbers. They have
a nice stiff low profile metal clip that swivels 360 degrees and a
magnetic closure. I got both. Turns out to be perfect fit for my cell
phone too!

Thought you might want to know...

Excellent point!

I was just discussing the with a friend, another Cozmo user. She
warned me the Deltec advised against magnetic closures for exactly
that reason. These magnets are not very strong. The Deltec policy may
be CYA. I doubt that there is a large enough user population of mag
cases to get statistically significant failure rate data, one way or
the other. If they even know how strong a field the Cozmo can
tolerate, they probably wouldn't say, in order to avoid patients
mistakenly being in too strong a field thinking it is ok.

The only warning I could find in print was about strong magnetic
fields like in medical scanners.

They DO warn that use of cell phone within 6 inches can interfere with
pump operations (i.e. clipping your phone on your belt right next to
your pump).

Maybe velcro would be better. Better safe than sorry!

I hereby withdraw my recommendation for cases with magnetic closures.
