FYI, I bought a Fenix holster for their AA lights from Lighthound and it fits nicely!
When I get a chance I can post some photos.

Here's Fenix L1D holster with a D10 in it:

I have both the optional clip for the D10 and the same Fenix holster; I prefer the clip since you can use it in a shirt pocket, pants pocket, on a belt, etc. It's built well and is quite tight, so I don't worry about losing the light.

Oh you're kidding? I wish I'd known that. :sigh:
The pocket clip for the D10 (and EX10) are great. Very strong and makes the light look even better. I have one on both. I wish my Extreme had one as nice.
The D10 and EX10 are among my favorite to EDC. Great lights.

Doh. Mine just came in the mail today; would have been nice to know about that.
Attaching the clip was a royal pain. I had to take a pair of pliers and bend the clip so that I could get both ends screwed down -- out of the bag, one end was sticking out a quarter inch when the other end was screwed in. Anyone else have that problem?

Yeah mine was like that too, I think it is supposed to be? I just set one by screwing it in a little bit, then got the other one in. I went back and forth between the screws as I tightened them so everything went in evenly.
Absolutely LOVE my D10 with a clip on it. It is a pretty thin and short light, so the clip also adds a little more surface area to hold onto. :thumbsup:

+1. Yes! I had that problem too. I had to do exactly that. Start one screw then alternate tightening each one until it was tight.

You probably shouldn't have used the pliers to bend the clip. It's supposed to be like that. The clip pulls back against the screws, acting something like a lock-washer and will tend to keep the screws tight.
Yes the clips really improve these great lights.

Ah well, it's still worth $8 to me, and I don't resent paying that to 4sevens.
My D10 arrived today from 4Sevens -- ordered Monday, arrived Thursday! -- and I have the same worries about the clip: doesn't look like the holes match the clip.
Of course, you folks have already gone through this, and your clips do match the holes, right?
Here's my question: does trying to attach the clip -- especially if you need several tries! -- scratch or otherwise harm the D10?
I'm asking as someone who can barely screw in the proverbial lightbulb.
Thanks,

Couldn't resist the allure... had to order one myself... HEY.... I just had a birthday! (That's good enough reason to buy a D10, isn't it?) Will look to receive it next week sometime...

The clip has a larger diameter then the D10 itself. But the hole do match once you forced the metal to have the same diameter. With this you create a tension that prevent the screws from getting loose.
I can not think of any way to harm the D10 by attaching the clip. However, I did find the whole process rather flimsy and not easy at all. Especially, because the wrench supplied was not really fitting the screws (this might have changed now). But once it is attached then it 'Just Works' (TM).

Yes, the clip is a little hard to install and the supplied wrench is not very good, but the clip is OK. Put a little Blue Loctite on the threads to help keep the clip tight.
