Public acceptance aside, the Hip Clip works marvelously. Its well-constructed design locks the GBC in securely, and a small lever releases it for instant play. Snapping it back in is, well, a snap. And, surprisingly, it feels quite secure -- we had little worry that it might suddenly fling off our side and crash to the ground. The part that clips to your belt even rotates, so the Game Boy Color can be carried straight up and down or sideways. The only complaint we have with the device is that you have to remove any power packs from the back of the GBC in order to clip it into place -- but that's hardly a major concern. Bottom Line: It performs its job fantastically -- it's a great way to clip a Game Boy Color to your belt, if you really want to do something like that. For public acceptance, however, we suggest wearing a long coat or sweater.
