I had the same problem with my cellphone holder until I found RipOff:

The clip is as you describe and is durable. I've used them for over 10
years now and they are well made. They even list for iPod.

I've been using the same iPod and case for 6 years now. To me the security of
the clip is the #1 issue. In all that time I have never had a problem with the
clip on my iPod case. But I was less careful with the cell phone clip I bought.
It fell off my belt several times and I eventually lost the cell phone. I now
have a new cell phone clip that I expect will be sufficiently secure.
I went back to the place where I bought my case and I see they are selling
something that looks identical to my case today, except I see the clip is not
as sturdy. Looks like the clip on my ill-fated cell phone case.
The good clip was held shut by a spring (similar to a clothes pin) and had a
hook on the end that had two 90° bends. The closest to that kind of clip that I
see today is the design Apple uses on the Shuffle. That is a great design and I
would not settle for less.
