Can you post a photo of your clip Skippy?
I bought a clip off of eBAY that said it fit the SDA (has a hump) and the i-mate SP5m (humpless). I was skeptical, but since they mentioned my phone by name I was hopeful. Turns out it does not fit as it's a tad to tall. <duh> Since I've only held the SDA in my hands once, and it was a broken dummy model, it seemed to me like the same clip might fit them both if there was a way to grab the top of the SDA - but behind the hump. Didn't turn out to be that way of course, but I just wanted to let on what I was thinking so I don't come off sounding like a complete dummy.
Anyway, mine says SDA on the back and seems to me to fit the bottom very nicely. I'm very curious to see how you "fixed" yours. If I could make my phone sit taller in the clip, it might actually be useful to me.
I'm not understanding what the "rubbery mounting strip" is that you got from Frys.
BTW...none of the T-mobile stores around here that I've stopped at have had the belt clip. So, that's quite a find you got there. My clip off of eBAY cost $5 or $6-ish, if I remember right.
Here's what mine looks like:
Devices: T-Mobile MDA (Cingular SIM), i-mate SP5m (sitting in a drawer at the moment while I attempt to migrate to PPC permanently), Cingular 3125 (unlocked and in use on T-Mobile), Motorola MPx220 (retired), Motorola MPx200 (retired)
Accessories: Plantronics Explorer 330 & 2G Patriot Micro-SD (use w/MDA), Kingston 2G mini-SD used in SP5m, Plantronics Discovery 640 & 2G San Disk micro-SD (use w/3125), Jabra A210 BT adapter + Motorola HS805 (retired)
