doug Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Need some help here. As some of you may know my wife is disabled. Inspite of 2 sticks and hanging onto furniture and things she does have trmendous falls - 8 in split, 7 stirches and 5 staples the other Sunday. Have considered Careline but would prefer to carry on using our house phones - these are DECT? radio phones and we have 4 off. The intention is that we carry one each, I usually have one in my top pocket, which I sometimes knock off. I'm looking for a clip on belt holder, then we can have one each. Been Googling and Amazonning but all I can find appear to be for mobile phones. Our phones are 6 ins (15 cm) long by 2in (5cm) wide and 1in (2.5cm) thick. If anyone can help out with suggestions I will be very grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Have you considered checking out a builders merchant or DIY store as some of them do a range of tool belts that while lacking impact as a style statement could do the job.

AlanHo Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Have you considered checking out a builders merchant or DIY store as some of them do a range of tool belts that while lacking impact as a style statement could do the job.I once bought a belt which had a nylon mesh "pouch" to carry a small drinking water bottle or soft drinks can from a Walking,Hiking & Camping Equipment shop (Blacks or Millets - not sure which). The mesh pouch was elasticated to take various sized bottles. it would be about right for your phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 How about this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Try phoning Peter Jones CoI feel your answer lies in finding a holster designed for mobile radios rather than phones - there must be one of about the right size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 A lot of useful suggestions there folks for me to follow up. I'm not denigrating Careline if anyone should get that impression, quite from it. We had the system installed many years ago for Father-in-law. We have considered it but it does have it's limitations in that you have to register an alternate telephone with thm for a keyholder. Using the house phone is much more flexible in that it gives access to all the family, eithe at there homes, Mobles or work numbers, in addition to the emergency numbere, doctors etc. So will refresh this thread from time to time to let you know how things develope and our decisions. It may be of help to others - We all get old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Problem solved by a kind member here. He and his wife knocked up a couple of pouches ans per the attached photo. Absolutely brilliant and so handy. Proof of the pudding is that on Wednesday herself decided that as she was gardening she would wear her old gardening trousers and put her phone in the back pocket.n While attending to an urgent call of nature you will guess where the phone went! Having got that sorted the following she had another fall no damage this time but I'm now wondering if I should get her a helmet?Forgot to post the image :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I would try the Army and Navy stores for a helmet Doug. Or you could try a cycle shop and buy her a Cyclists helmet. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 If you're serious about the head protection there are baseball cap style "Bump Caps" which would probably encounter less user resistance from your better half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Thanks for the suggestion Belatucadrus I'll show that to her and report back as to her reaction! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
