I discovered just now that Rugged Equipment cell phone cases like the one below has a clip that seems to work fairly well with the covertec discs. while it may seem like they dont fit, the security tab that locks the case to the clip will lock where the hole for the disc screw goes.

I've not tested it running around and doing all the acrobatics Jedi do.. mainly because I am unable to do those things anymore due to my disability, but it seemed to pass the tug test pretty well.

I got my case at walmart and looking online, they seem to run at around $15.00

No idea if thats helpful to anyone, but just wanted to get that info out in case no one had tried it.

"It seemed to pass the tug test pretty well."

Hasn't anyone warned you about tugging on your lightsaber? They say you might go blind.:lol:

btw, Is the metal clip on the right part of the case, or is that yours, and where did you get it?

I've heard that only applies if your saber is over 6 inches. :P
And yes, the clip comes with it and I bought it at Walmart. basically you put the cell phone in the protector and the protector has a big disc on the back that slides into the belt clip. Like a covertec.

Okay, it's just covertech rip-off brand (probably better quality).

I'll be putting the clip through some testing and designing a custom belt to go with Defiance. I was thinking of a holster style that will keep the whole saber against my thigh. Just something different to hanging it off a belt. ^_^ Then Defiance goes back to LDM finally for repairs.

Thank you dgdve ^_^

Anyway, I attached the clip to the saber and held the clip while shaking it violently and it held. then I attached the clip and saber to my belt and jumped around and did everything I could to make the saber fall off, but it held!

looks like we might have a winner ^_^
