  I bought a sport waist pouch, removed the waist strap, sewed a large buttonhole on one flap, put a carbiner through the hole, and hang it from a belt loop on my pants. Not the greatest appearance, but the pump is zipped inside the case that has a padded cover with a velcro closing, so it is protected from bumps, and my tubing is tucked into my pants. If the tubing gets caught on something, it is less likely to be pulled out, and the pump cannot be dropped.

  I use the silicone case that came with my minimed pump I like that it protects my pump when it falls out of my pocket when I use the clip I have no problems with it falling off and I have 10 working dogs they have learn not get up on the side of my pump

  I have a new plastic clip, designed for the Tamdem X2 pump. No more metal clip that bends.

  My PDM is in a case like any "meter" would be since it serves as both "pump" and "meter" and the strips and lancet are in the same case. My Omnipod thingy that sits on my skin does not have a protective case... maybe the protective case is my clothing! ;p

  It's "Personal Diabetes Manager", the device that you use for looking at data like settings, giving bolus doses, adjusting basal rate, and to suspend your pump. I had an OmniPod until I started Medicare but price made me switch to Tslimx2 which is covered under Medicare Part B, instead of the Part D drug plan.

  I would love to have a protective case that would easily hook to my slacks. I don’t wear a belt. I do not have the money to buy these due to my total medical costs.

  I answered other because I don't currently use a pump, but when I did use Omnipod Dash I did have a protective case for the PDM.

  I do not use a case with the tslim pump. After much frustration, I found out, that the cartridge could be removed and a new one re-inserted with the case on the pump. I just kept the case off and have my pump in a Spi belt. I haven't had any issues.

  Omnipod makes a pump called PDM- short for paradigm I think.

  The one time I went without a cover on my Medtronic MiniMed it slipped out of my hands onto the tile floor in my bathroom and cracked. So, now I always use the cover it comes with, though I might explore some of the others mentioned in the comments.

  I have two, but I have given up using them. They are for my Tandem TSlim X2, and pretty much worthless. They never stay hooked on m clothing and often fall off ripping my tubing out, so I have given up. I mainly wear shorts or pants with pockets and put it in there. If I’m going to wear a dress, I’ll wear a bra I can put it in. I am going to switch to a tubeless OmniPod next month. So it just sticks to you. No more dealing with the cases and tubing issues.

  Always hit my pump on things when I wore it on my hip. Seemed like either the pump would get hit or the cord was getting snagged. Took the clip off and now keep it in my pants pocket. More protected and discreet.

  No case. I am constantly hiding it in clothing (pockets, sports bras, etc) so want it as small as possible.

  No, because usually I stash my pump in my bra and it would be too bulky with a case. I do have one, I choose not to use it.

  I have a leather case that I bought at a craft show, originally intended for a flip phone. Before that I had used a case I bought at the county fair that was originally intended as a leather cigarette case. I also have a screen protector on the face of my Tandem pump.

  My pump has the case that came from the manufacturer, it’s not the most protective one but it does the job for me.

  No, after 3 years I've managed to keep the clip for my Tandem intact, it comes off a lot and I use my nail file to reattach it. My Dexcom CGM screen has a few scratches on it from dogs and cats!

  I put "No" because I assume you mean something other than a belt clip.

  Type1tactical.com If you wear a pump this company makes the absolutely best holster. You can customize the colors to your personality and needs. I've been using one for two years for my T-slim X2 pump and I have never had an issue with it. I highly recommend looking into it and throw away the holder that comes with the pump. It's garbage. Type 1 Tactical has earned a customer for life with me and hopefully with you also. Best regards

  I occasionally use the Tandem case with the pump, but really dislike the clip and it’s difficult to insert and remove pump from case. Mostly don’t use a case, just keep pump in my pocket

  I sometimes wear the Tandem pump case with clip when I'm not wearing convenient pockets. I answered "no" since the product description on Tandem website describes its function as access, rather than protection.
