[FIXED] I broke mine a couple of times (glued back then broke again). Finally I got tired of the superglue routine and decided to dig around my tools for something stronger. Well… the solution actually came from my kids play bin. I found “Melty Beads” (available at Walmart).
I re-superglued the pieces together again. But this time, I wanted to reinforce the plastic where it breaks. So after applying the superglue, I heated up my solder gun, with a flat bit at the front, grabbed some black plastic beads from the box and melted two beads (layered) on each crack. Now, this is not pretty, but I use them in my home office so it doesn’t matter.

[edit] I sanded down the surfaces before the melting / plastic welding process
