be totally careful of the rhinoskin case with the belt clip. the belt clip is hooked to the case with a little screw, that can come off easily. i was walking around and the axim with the rhinoskin fell on the concrete because the screw came loose! be very careful if you are going to use the belt clip

did you tighten it down with a flat-heat screwdriver? If so and it still came loose, go to Home Depot and get some stuff that keeps the screw tight.

well i did not screw it real tight with a screwdriver, i mainly used my hands to screw it down pretty tightly.

are you talking using some superglue or some stuff like that to seal the screw in the hole?

i am not sure i want to keep that screw in there all the time, sometimes i do not want the screw sticking out of the case if i do not use the belt clip...not sure yet. i thought i had the screw in there pretty good but after about 10 minutes of walking around, my axim fell onto the concrete to my horror.

by the way, what is locktight?

eugchen

i did a google search, i think you may be talking about loctite...i guess it is some sort of adhesive, like superglue? not sure though...

Loctite is used on screws to help screw from coming loose. Buy it at an auto parts store. You can buy in small tube for a couple of bucks. Use blue loctite for this application.

thanks...can the screw ever be undone and removed if loctite is used? i want the option of taking the screw off if i need to, since i do not always want the screw and belt clip.

Bradish

Yeah, the screw can be removed. However it will take a good deal extra force to remove it, so be sure to be careful when removing it as to not accidently slip and scratch your case

Yes loctite should be available at ome Depot,,just remember that if you ever want to take the screw out again get the blue loctite, the red loctite is for permanently locking the screw in

so the blue loctite is not as permanent i guess? whereas the red is like permanent superglue? yeah, i definitely want to be able to remove the screw again...

Blue is a Med strength and can be broken loose with some torque
Red is High strength and can be undone only with high heat(as in a torch)
