I've had my UBB for a decade, and it's never had a cradle.
The clip is very secure. Occasionally if I have the box in my front pants pocket and sit down, it can get disconnected, but I've never had it come loose during a normal taping situation.

Does the battery stay connected tightly? The bat 2 model looks more secure. I am accident prone and want to mitigate any possible user errors in my chain.

I own them both. They are both extremely reliable. I have to say that the SP one failed me once in use because the battery did not remain securely attached in the box and rattled a bit, interrupting the connection. As I recall, I may not have succeeded in snapping the cover all the way shut . So you could say that it was my fault, but of course the Church one doesn't have a cover that you have to shut correctly. An extremely rare occurrence, but in contrast the church ugly never once fail to me in years and years of use. I like them both, but in all candor the Church one is easier to use, particularly in terms of replacing the battery. Please note that I am only addressing the nature of the two battery boxes themselves, and not the ease of actually purchasing one or the other from the vendor. In that respect, it's a lot easier to buy a product from Sound Professionals than it is from Church Audio, especially in terms of delivery time.

That's the one. It's great, if Chris actually has any to ship in your or his lifetimes.
