USB thumb drive broke, now what?

I keep buying thumb drives, which you can attach to your keychain via that little loop you put your keys in, but they keep on breaking which opens to fall of my keychain every single time. Is there anything out there that I can buy that I can either replace the broken piece or replace the broken piece?

I keep buying these USB drives that keep on breaking off my keychain and it's getting very annoying, not to mention, expensive. For me, it's extremely convinient to carry them this way because I won't ever forget them.

What are my options here?

Possibly you need the one steel covered with rubber on it. So called military style.
