A belt clip assembly clamps a device (30) onto thin material. The device has a backcover (31) which includes a first set of ears (32) with a first set of pin holes. The belt clip assembly comprises a belt clip (44), a pin (130), and a spring (100). The belt clip (44) has a second set of ears (24,26) with a second set of pin holes (20,22); the pin (130) passes through the first set of pin holes and the second set of pin holes (20,22) for establishing an axis of rotation (56); and the spring (100) is formed to apply force to maintain the belt clip (44) in a closed position against the back cover (31). The spring (100) has a retaining ring (120) formed integrally therewith. The retaining ring (120) couples to the pin (130) for retaining the pin (130) within the first and second set of pin holes (20,22).
