And I am not good with glue anyway--it never seems to hold.

What I really need, I think, is some sort of little pouch or case that allows full access and has its own clip. Or some other simple and cheap solution. Any ideas?

While I was considering just replacing the Clip Sport entirely instead of fiddling with the clip, I noticed that Best Buy is advertising an exclusive 16 gig Clip Sport with Bluetooth, for $60. But there's apparently no card slot.

P.S. Here's the SanDisk information page about the Bluetooth-enabled Clip Sport Plus.
A brand new Clip. I missed that. Thanks for the heads up.

It doesn't have a card slot and there's no Audible compatibility (though they are working on it). Also, it's IPX5 water resistant (protection from water jets, no immersion).

I have no answer for a clip replacement. I had the clip break on one of my Clip+s, so I filed it down to get it fairly flat. I actually prefer it without the clip.
