On my two week old iDSD Black I used the IE match for the first time and the button fell off. There is a tiny male part of the sliding switch (A lot smaller than I imagined would be used) that goes into the female part of the button. I managed to put it back, but it didn't feel secure in use.

I ended up putting a tiny amount of superglue on the end of a pin and inserted it into the female part of the button and it worked perfectly, luckily.

That has happened to me like 3 times. Never wanted to use glue just in case o over did it and glued the slider stuck. Luckily every time it fell off I managed to find it. I wish it was designed a bit different, but, if I lose that part I'm sure ifi will be good about replacing it.

That's reassuring, I guess? I did think twice, but using the pin I managed to apply glue to only inside the female part of the button.

I've had an original and a Black before and they were both OK.

I just left it like that. It's still possible to operate the switch and you won't switch it by accident so win-win.

I thought about that as well and just putting the button in the box for safekeeping, as like you said, you can still operate the slider.

Yup, I knocked my Direct/Preamp button off by accident and decided to take both off and leave them in the box for safekeeping. For the best given the switches had a tendency to be toggled when I was fitting my phone. It sucked accidentally switching on IEMatch once the phone was fixed to the iDSD.
