A Mophie Juice Pack is pretty heavy – about the weight of an iPhone, unless you mean the Air. I had actually thought about doing this with my 1st-gen charger and iPhone, but I wasn't sure if the clip could take the weight. It also means that you're probably going to scratch the crap out of your Mophie if it doesn't work out and you try to take the Rivet off. At least with this carbon fiber case it won't show very much, but a Mophie has a rubberized exterior if I remember correctly, and that'll definitely look worse for wear should something go wrong.
That said — it would be a kickass holster, and I've always wanted the Mophies to attach to the hip. They now have their own belt clips, but it's an exterior leather thing that seems HUGE.

Cheers 😀

I'd hope for it, but it's not all that likely since carbon fiber cases tend to be more expensive. However, you don't have to use this particular case. If there's some sort of other hard case out there without a belt clip you could just attach the rivet clip to that. Darn thing is I don't know of any other hard cases that are like the GorillaTube, just leather and suede pouches.

Absolutely wonderful solution and very helpful YouTube demonstration. Thank you. Maybe you can upgrade your version next year with savage protection? Your hybrid case really does combine the elements of form and functionality. Do you predict a price drop in the $95 tube in the near future?

Would you mind posting some pictures from it at different angles? My concern with having my iPhone outside of my pants is hitting a corner or a door frame, or of course, my Golden Retriever ripping it off when she jumps. That being said, I never had issue with the case that came with my Bold, but I can’t use that case because of the magnet.
