My Rhinoskin Aluminuminuminuminum (spoken like President Bush) case broke. The screw on the back kept coming loose so I kept tightening it. Tightened it to hard and the screw broke off... now I can't hang it from my belt.
In the past, AximSite had a contest for http://www.aximcases.com, but no matter how many times I tried to enter, my lucky number was never drawn. I went to AximCases but they're to expensive for me. Not that I'm cheap... I'm just broke.
Any ideas on how I can successfully repair the screw on my case? Anybody have an extra case around?

If you go to Rhinoskin's web site you can purchase a new belt clip that comes with a screw (I believe). You might even be able to buy the screw, but I am not sure about that.

Duck tape works good for stuff like that! Get silver colored tape - it will look real natural!

About a year ago, I had the same problem with my Rhinoskin case. After my Axim fell to the ground (luckily it was carpet), I superglued the screw back on the case. You can also use LockTite. After a while, I didn't want to chance having the screw fall off again, so I got a Nite-Ize holster. I feel a LOT more secure in knowing that my Axim isn't going to fall off somewhere and me not know about until later.

I sent them an email after reading your post. No response. Nothing. Nada.
Gives me reason to find a different brand case.

Hmm. I never heard of that before. Does it offer adequate protection for your screen or do you have a cover for the screen? Which Nite-Ize holster did you get? I went to their website and saw many different ones.

Did the screw break off inside the case, or did the screw just break?
It broke off inside the case. I peeled off the black stuff on the inside and was able to retrieve the broken part of the screw.

Maybe try giving the manufacturer a whole whopping two days to get your email and respond to it.
One member here got a replacement, with instructions to destroy the old one in as spectacular fashion as he could, and send pictures! Does your local national guard armory have an APC?

I live in Texas. We've got big ones. :approve:

Click on the "View my PDA" link next to my username. There are links there to all my accessories, including my Nite-Ize holster. My Axim lives in a black PDAir aluminum hardcase. Screen is of course well protected. I switched to the PDAir from the Rhinoskin when I got an extended battery. I then put my hardcase in my Nite-Ize holster (which easily fits every case out there). This hardcase + holster solution works quite well, and isn't too bulky.

Ok... did that. Gave them two days.
Actually, gave them nine. Still no response.

I found a belt clip for my rhino-skin at CompUSA for $10.00. Within a day, the PDA falls from my hip and hits the ground. All is ok but I am returning the clip.
Tried many of their sellers listed on Nite-Ize's website and all but a few sold the universal PDA case. They should just sell it themselves.
I eventually found it on eBay this past Sunday for about ten dollars and jumped at it. It was quickly delivered and I am very pleased. One review on AximSite complains of the weak bottom support. I find the holsters to be very durable. I slipped my great case less the good for nothin belt clip into my new Nite-Ize holster. Thanks for the suggestion!!!
