The Belt Clip wasn't the problem. It is actually a pretty good one. It has a spring loaded release so you can pull your iPod off your belt with out removing the clip but it won't come off easily.
It was the plastic plug that the screw goes into. The clip held onto the screw and the plug quite nicely. It is taped into place from inside the case. The whole plug comes out rather easily. I just super glued the plug and screw into place and haven't had a problem since. I had the belt loop pull the part which attached the case to belt loop to shreds on a Belkin Sidewinder case. The box it self is pretty tough but not in the same class as the Belkin Flip Top Case. This one's big plus is the the iPod gets in and out quite easily.
