Selective call receiver

A holster (201) serves to protect an information display (202) in a selective call receiver (200) from breakage due to an impact in an area proximate to the information display (202). When the selective call receiver (200) is retained in the holster (201) in a first orientation, a second portion (207) of the holster contiguously covers an opening in the housing where the information display (202) is positioned. The second portion (207) protects the information display by shunting energy from the impact into at least a front section (204) of the selective call receiver's housing and the holster (201).

Selective call receiver holster with integral display impact protection

A selective call receiver (40) is provided which has a receiver (66) for receiving a message to be presented to a user, a housing enclosing the receiver, and a holster (330) slidably coupled to the housing. The holster (330) has a belt clip (310) pivotably coupled to the holster (330). The belt clip (310) has a first end (312) for securing the holster (330) to the user, and a second end (314) for pivoting the belt clip (310) away from the holster (330). A self-locking clip (300) is coupled to the holster (330). The self-locking clip (300) contacts or butts the housing of the selective call receiver (40) wherein the housing forces the self-locking clip (300) against the belt clip (310) for locking the belt clip (310) in position.
