thanks for the suggestion, What would you say about this one: JM3-01WW. If you had to compare the two, which would be better?

Amazon and I think I paid ~$15 for it.

Heads up though it could definitely use an extra rubber cause it's not the most secure thing in the world

Yes I did! And keep us updated, I'm interested what the quality of it is, seeing as it's a direct ripoff of this ~$20 item. I would bet that it's from the same production line with the same injection molds as the 'official' product, without the branding.
