Design Protection > The Multidapt system Conclusion
The Multidapt system Ok, so enough griping for now. Along with the top notch quality, there's another really cool feature: The Multidapt system. The Multidapt System is esentially a special mounting plate on the back of the case into which a variety of clips and brackets can fit. There are three different kinds of clips that attach to the mount, providing instant clipping power.
The one I was sent was the MiniClip, designed for shirt and pants pockets where a tight grip is useful, but not the main source of security. You can see this one attached in the center of the combo photo. At the top of the combo photo is the button for the Slide Swivel Kit. They sent me the Frozty Wine-Red clip kit, but it's also available in black, and probably some other colors as well. As you can see this turns the Multidapt mount into a standard swivel clip button which then clips into a fairly standard belt clip.
The other items they sent were the BikeHolderKit and the CarHolderKit. You can see the BikeHolderKit in the center of the photo of all the clips they sent me. It's a fairly large apparatus that mounts to the handlebar of your bicycle. The kit has another button to put into the Multidapt which then clips into the BikeHolderKit thing in a unique, but secure way. The only problem I have with this mount is that it still allows the case to swivel. I can't imagine riding around and NOT being upset that the case kept swiveling around sideways and upside down on bumpy roads.
The CarHolderKit also comes with the button for the Multidapt and allows the swiveling to occur, but that shouldn't be as big a deal in a car. The CarHolder itself can mount to your car's dashboard with an included adhesive pad, or with the added security of a long screw through the center of the mount into the dash. I wasn't quite ready to test this mount either, but I imagine it should work just fine when mounted. There are several other clips and swivels to choose from, which ensures that most people can find one that suits them. As an added benefit, the Multidapt mount on the case features a small loop of plastic that would serve well as a place to loop a lanyard through, if one so desired.
