Recommended Metronomes?

I'm playing violin, (have been for about 8 years), and I'm wondering if any of you have metronomes that you recommend. my metronome broke. The top came off about 4 years ago. I've been too lazy to buy a new one, so just used my iPhone app or a free one on the computer. Now, I think it's time to buy. :)

I'm looking for one with:

-high durability (long lasting)

-loud clicks

-beats 40-208

-good reviews

-exact models

Please give me the model numbers so I can look it up to buy at Amazon or EBay. Or, give me the links for more consideration for best answer!

Thanks in advance!

Update:

Yeah, Bob, I use the app on the iPhone, but it's just not loud enough!! :) I feel like I need something louder so I can hear and don't have to look at the light.

    Boss DB-30 is pretty much the most feature intensive metronome for it's price(besides apps). Don't drop it constantly though, the battery will go slightly out of place if you do. That's about the only way to "break" it though(You can just put some paper in the battery compartment if it starts acting finicky, should fix it).

    I don't see much of a point of not using an iphone app if it's working for you, as long as it passes the clock test it will be totally fine.
