Chapter 5 — Protecting and Mounting Your GPS<br />

FIGURE 5-35: A layer of tape enables you to tighten the clip without damaging the metal.<br />

Even with this protection, however, remember to take it easy when tightening the nuts.<br />

Making a Personalized Case<br />

To close this chapter, I’m going to take you through the steps necessary to build your own GPS<br />

holster. In order to build this type of holster, you will need the following materials:<br />

Kydex or Concealex sheet (12 inch × 12 inch square). This will cost a few dollars<br />

(see www.sdplastics.com/kydex/kydex.html).<br />

A belt clip (under $10; see www.blade-tech.com)<br />

Chicago screws (used in leatherwork extensively; see www.eleathersupply.com/<br />

fasteners.shtml)<br />

Closed-cell foam<br />

Sharp knife and scissors<br />

Hair dryer/hot-air paint-stripping gun<br />

Access to an oven<br />
