I have a creative zen vision m, and that basically already have a direct line out socket in the dongle that comes with it, hence i haven't purchased a special cable (saving me money

)
The only problem I'm having with this is the fact that it comes off extremely easily, which is annoying because I have to keep plugging it back in

So the question is, is there a way of "securing" the dongle to the zen (ie should i use elastic bands, velcro straps, etc) or should i actually purchase a cable instead of using the dongle?

Personally I would get a cable with a locking connector. The dongle was intended only for temporary (and stationary) docking while charging and/or transferring data and I think you may be asking for trouble using it around town.

Yes the Qables ZV:M dock should be the locking type. I once owned a Qables LOD for a ZV:M that I once owned.

I wished I wouldn't have waited so long to buy the LOD because that stock dongle is a PITA.

Yes, there are both Ebay cheapies and higher-quality units such as the example above.

Can you point me to the ebay sale for the cheapie? I tried searching all sorts of combos, but nothing but USB cables (for charging). The Quables are pretty expensive.
