Flimsy battery door

I love my Fitbit zip, have walked around the world with it. I just purchased number 4, not because there was something wrong with numbers 1,2,3, but because the battery door on these things is very flimsy. After replacing the battery a few times, the small plastic piece that is designed to hold the battery in place cracked. It is apparently impossible to find a replacement for this part, which cannot cost more than 10 cents to make.

I wish I could buy a bunch of these things, but instead I need to shell out 75 bucks for an entire new unit every time this happens. Probably made in China and designed to fail in this way. Capitalism at work!

Where are you buying these? They haven't been made in a couple of years and as I recall, were $49.
