Sansa® Clip | Sansa® Clip+

[JAdams1848]

After reading a variety of posts, I did my own take.  I eventually decided I should not glue anything to the Unit, so I used some industrial velcro tape that I cut to the exact size of the back of the Sansa Clip Unit.  One "half" of that velcro tape was attached to the back of my Clip; and the other "half" of the velcro tape was attached to an office supply clip I bought at the Dollar Store that is about the same size as the Sansa Clip Unit and has a flat, plastic surface.  Anyway, it is a tad bulkier than the original Sansa Clip, but it does the trick.  (Full Disclosure:  The Velcro was actually my wife's idea -- I just wanted to use glue, but she wisely said, "what if THAT clip breaks and its glued to your thinga-ma-jig?" -- & lo and behold, it eventually did; but with the velcro, I just popped on another clip from the bag of 10 I had).

Good for you!

Something similar worked great for me, an idea from some genius in another forum: In stationery department or 99c store, buy a clear plastic ID/name tag holder that clips on with a metal clip. Remove the metal clip (the plastic pulls right out), rough up the metal surface with an emery board; ditto the area of the Sansa Clip+ where you will position it. Put several tiny drops of instant krazy glue on Sansa, hold15 seconds, then leave it for a couple of hours. This is bulkier than the original clip, but works fine. Bonus: one side of the new metal clip has a hole at the top, for the alternative of wearing the name badge on a string around your neck. I used a long black shoelace.  This has some advantages for me beyond the belt-and-suspenders potential.

I bought Klix paper clips online at office depot. package 10 for $3.59 free shipping. glued on with some super glue - works like a charm.

I just love Sansa Clip Users... cheap ass bastards who love our Sansas and will find a way to keep using them!

Went to Dollat Tree today looking for some of the suggested items. Found a 'Universal Swivel Clip for Nokia 5100/6100. 

It's heavy duty and quite substantial feeling. The little U thing that I think has something to do with the swivel is slightly narrower than the Sansa. I super glued the U thing and the Sansa fit on it perfectly with no filing off any plastic parts. Due to nature of DT, I'm heading back tomorrow for some more (Got 4 sansa's that have the potential of the clips breaking in the future!)

Good luck!

after 1 year, mine broke also. I had a small binder clip hanging around, and I duct taped one of the metal prongs to the back of the sansa clip.  Looks like crap, but it works!  thanks for all the great suggestions in the previous posts!

I realize this post is OLD, but my clip just broke this week. GRRR...

I came across my son's tie clip  for work and realized it would work perfect. I clipped off the hard plastic off the back of my sandisk , took a rat tail from my husbands toolbox and sanded it down flat on the back.  

Used some superglue to glue the tie clip to the san disk. Works great!!!
