I have now got my pump and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions about how to carry it or what to carry it in? I know it comes with a fabric pouch but its not exactly subtle or attractive!! I was thinking of something like a leather mobile phone carry case - has anyone found one that fits it?

perhaps puk should hold a competition to design one? how big is it?

ps my wife suggest you look on ravelry.com for a knitted solution but then she is as knittaholic.

when I was on the pump I made a sort of a holster to go on my belt. very macho.
I also made a silver chain to wear as a dangler round my neck. Very easy to get hold of. Christopher

Hello everyone,

My husband used the apo pump for fifteen years and we tried many different carriers. He was into photography and we found some of their small pouches! ideal and some have a strap or a loop that you can put onto your belts. A lady friend used to make very attractive ones to go with different clothes so there is something to think about, the problem with attatching to belts for men is going to the loo so perhaps one on the shoulder may be better it certainly opens up a talking point.

Many thanks for the replies. At present i am carrying it attached to my belt in the rather unattractive grey fabric pouch supplied with the pump. It is true that care needs to be taken when dropping the trousers - the weight of the pump, belt,trousers and whatever is in the pockets all hanging on one small needle.....

If you call the APO helpline they have other pump holders available. They sent me a flashy red and black carrier that looked more like designer mobile phone holder. Don't get me wrong it looked super cool, so cool in fact i was scared to wear it in case someone tried snatching it while walking down the street....now that would hurt!

Hello,
Just for info, the APO helpline that blueeyes47 mentioned is
0844 8801 327 and 0208 938 3951 in the evening.

Many thanks for the replies - i have contacted the helpline and asked them to send me the trendy "Apo-Pod". In the meantime i have bought a pouch from www.yellowcross.co.uk that does the job perfectly.
