That actually looks pretty nice, and might be sturdier than Sony's if it's really one piece as it appears, and not the flimsy cap screwed onto the shaft. I think that's where they break the most... as most people push up, they're also pushing to the side as well, and as it comes out of the channel, the sideways pressure then snaps it. I'm pretty careful about removing mine, and only push up until the cap only is out, then pull it out the rest of the way.
