The clip on mine broke after one week, small u-shaped metal tab popped out now it won't close. Is it fixable?

I fixed mine after it came out of the socket, but once it broke again I just threw it away. You can get one cheap enough to not worry about it.

If its the belt clip then yes its fixable.. It's a black metal u shaped tab right? All u have to do is pinch the gel clip at the top to release some pressure then fold the metal clip up to put it away

If mine broke, I would just use a binder clip from the office. Or, call the manufacturer in Utah!

Thats the problem, its not. have to break the plastic clip and remove then use brads to affix the metal one. I wish Ihad gone to a leather shop and had one made. Will probably still do that. Hope this helps.

Not sure if it will fit yours but if it does replace it gently. The clip is fragile and can break easily. I did mine and it was a perfect fit.

I've not had problems with the springs on my money clips, so I don't know if parts are available. I suggest you send a question to the manufacturer; I would start by googling the website for First Alert. I did a quick search and saw a varitey of options, including firstalertstore.com -- the store may be able to help you with spare parts. I noticed that at least one other reviewer mentioned problems with the money clips breaking. I'm not certain if this issue is a function of a product flaw, or if the springs just need to be treated delicately (which would be an unfortunate product limitation in any case), but I've not had the problem yet. Good luck!

It fit perfectly. It also appeared to be in good shape but after less than a week the clip that allows it to stand up, broke and cannot be repaired. Not the seller's problem but the way the clip is made it was bound to break, I just never thought it would happen so soon.

Does it still clip? I haven't encountered that problem.Maybe take a picture and send it to Eddie Bauer and see if they can send you a new part.

It didn't fit mine, it was close but the little plastic clips broke, making it useless

There is a release button that you press that releases it on the side. Should be! If not reach to the side and pull up from toward the back not the front so as to not pull on the tabs. I don't actually have this I got it for my nephew. If this doesn't help, contact me back and in the meantime I'll ask them and get you a better answer.

Imagine you could cut the 4 tabs and put Velcro right above where the tabs/clips were. I have used ours several times and have had no problems with the tabs/clips.

It is a bit tricky but can be done if you are very careful. Using a micro screw driver (jeweler's screwdriver) carefull pry up one side (usually side with the screw works best). Carefully slide screwdriver along side just prayed up to release retaining clips on the cover. The cover is flexible and can be bowed slightly to allow other sides to pop free. Just be careful not to use too much force or you can break the tabs off

Mines broken too also on the side.so it doesn't stay where the clip hook is. They said it was normal wear and tear. Is a limited warranty

The metal clip can wear out and bend out of shape. Mine did when I clipped it to my jeans. Now it doesnt grip anything, not even my shirt.

Mine used to fall off too. If you haven't already thrown it out, call them and have them send you a new replacement adapter that is metal. They know about this issue and will send it out for free.

I have had this same problem constantly, one of the two small clips has also broken off, not that it did much good anyway.

I had the same challenge. Just make sure it's lined up and press a little harder and it closed up for me. If that don't work check the tabs, you might have a return who's tabs are broke
