Hi Joe,
 
Yet another possibility is New Age Enclosures;
http://www.newageenclosures.com
 
I didn't see a belt clip version but they have a keyfob style (#S3A-251605) that
possibly might suit you (somewhat smaller than your original case dimensions though).
This can accommodate two AAA cells in its battery compartment. It *looks* like the
battery clips are included with the case (instead of needing to be purchased separately).
Prices (from Mouser): US$2-3 depending on quantity.
 
In general, it looks like New Age seems to specialize in smaller form factor cases. I only

heard about them for the first time last week at the Embedded Systems Conference. Mouser

had a booth there and was announcing they have started carrying their product line.
