Dave,

I'm still on my original 6-8 or so Rimz clips, obtained the better part of a decade ago, now.

Not a single one of them has broken in the manner that you describe, and to be perfectly honest, yours is the first report I have ever heard of a Rimz clip breaking.

When I obtained my first clips as "testers" from Beckham, I put one aside as the crash test dummy, and I did everything I could to make it fail.

I folded it in half. I put empty cases in opposite sides and tried twisting it into a pretzel.

I did some other nasty things to it, too, and it never failed. I'm still using it today.
