metal carabiner antenna interference?

[Floridamutt]

I have been looking for a neoprene cover to buy for my 76csx. There is an ebay seller that is selling a version with a metal carabiner as opposed to a plastic clip as the device to attach the unit to your backpack or whatever you may want.

 

I am wondering if this metal carabiner might interfere with signal reception. Am I being overzealous?

I probably purchased the same neoprene item for my Explorist 500 from that vendor. The person sent the item incredibly quickly. Faster than some Amazon items I had ordered a day or two before.

 

I have not have any problems with the metal carribeaner. However, I've only used it once while walking around the neighborhood pushing the baby stroller. One thing I was going to look for was a way to have a swivel clasp on the case so that it can turn easily and allow me to move it into a position I can read easily. Haven't decided what I exactly want, but when I see it, I'll know it.

Thanks John, I had not thought about that part. It seems that the plastic clip version swivels. That may be a better option for me, unless the plastic is not that durable.

I have a neoprene case with a metal carabiner for my 60Cx and have noticed no problems at all with it.

And I have had the neoprene case with the swiveling plastic hook for about three years and the hook hasn't broken.
