Survey question
Just curious:
How many of you use the case for your pump. I always used mine and lately
have stopped. Its not as bulky w/o it. What is the purpose of it? Is it
for protection from dust etc? Mine still gets very dusty since I live in the
desert. Take care! Chrissy

The Minimed pump used to wear excessively without the case, and they recommend
its use to prevent this. However, I understand that the newer models (starting
with the 507) had an improved design that did not wear from friction with
whatever was around.
I still use the case with the 507, but this is just habit, I suspect.

I use my white leather case most of the time. I take it out of the case and
take off the clip when I use the bra pouch.–Jeana

I don’t like the looks of the MM case, and for 17 years have used diff.
colored zipper-type cigarette cases that I put a key ring through the pull,
then another key ring through the first one as a belt loop. This swings freely
at my side. I place a 1/3 sheet of used fabric softener in each bag to reduce
static electricity. I haven’t had a problem with S.E. since a MM tech told me
to do that years ago. My bags can be seen on my picture trail site.

So far my clip is OK. Does MM replace them for free? Chrissy

Chrissy, I’ve never used the case and couldn’t even say where it IS –
although I know they must’ve given me one when I started (the 508 last
June). I just clip the pump directly onto my bra or nightgown, so if I
ever find the case I’ll offer it to anyone who wants a spare!

Chrissy, I assume it’s for protection. I very seldom use mine, though, simply
because with my RA in my hands I just find it easier to bolus without having
to work around the case (either taking it out or trying to push the buttons
through the little window).

I always have used a case.
