Eh, mine broke similarly in about two months in. To be honest they are pretty flimsy and the scanner isn't made of durable plastic by any means (compare to a professional radio like an XTS5000). The large display is another spot that I could see easily cracking. That being said, I would never trust it to hold onto the scanner while in the field. Instead I place it in a pocket on the front of my jacked or in my back pocket. Kind of disappointing but it is what it is.
