I'd agree about the belt clip - I don't see it lasting all that long. A metal belt clip like you get on tape measures would perhaps be better, or even a keyring type loop.

I wonder if you could redesign the pencil holder end as well so that it could hold a pencil but also be used for other things such as an ID badge, a frequently used key, or a small LED torch.

To be honest, one of your best outlets will be eBay,

As pointed out earlier, the attachment clip doesn't look very strong, but will see how it holds up.

I noticed the small notch where the string comes out, could it have been designed for a keyring on the end instead of the pencil holder.
Reminds me of the key holder that bar staff and some shop assistants have with the magnetic till key attached that they pull out and just touch a small round sensor on the till to switch it on when they have served someone.

Thanks for replies guys, I am very confident that the hook which attaches to your trouser loop will not break, I have tested it for over a year, using it 5 days a week and its very durable, obviously it wont last for ever but for £3 you will get alot of wear out of it. If anyone experiences any problems just let me know. :wink:

Just to let you know, I got mine this week. Thanks. I got it next to my computer so that I don't lose those pens I use.
