Hard clamshell eyeglass case with a pocket clip.

Can you help me find a clamshell eyeglass case with a pocket clip?
My dad currently uses this type of eyeglass case. It is a soft case where the glasses slide in from the end and has a pocket clip. It frustrates him because he says when he slides the glasses in and out of the case, they get dirty.
He wants a hard clamshell case like this, but with one caveat - he wants it to include the pocket clip like the one he uses now.
I have searched and I can't find a hard case with a pocket clip. Can you help me find one, Mefites? If you can find me a pocket clip to stick on to a hard case that would be fine as well. Thank you!

Best answer: Following up on easily confused's recommendation above, this stick-on clip has served me extremely well in a variety of contexts. It's very springy and robust, and I think it would work well in a shirt pocket with no problem. Should it ever get bent (as mine does periodically when worn on my belt), a pair of pliers can fix it quickly, and "trim tape" like this can reattach it. Also, as a bonus, the company is extremely receptive to any defects or problems, and if the clip should break or falter in another way, they've replaced them swiftly for me, with no costs.

But consider how a hard case will look and feel in his shirt pocket: soft cases aren't nearly as heavy or as thick as a hard case, and the bulk of a hard case --- assuming one even fits into his pocket in the first place! --- will be an awkward weight dragging on his shirt. Before you go any further with the search for a clamshell case with a clip, ask your father to wear a (clipless) hard case in his shirt pocket for a couple days; he might decide jamming it in there and the way it'll deform how his shirts wear isn't, in the end, really worth it.
