Yongnuo yn568ex flash partially broken.

So today the flash fell off the camera as a result of the insecure mechanism these speed lights use to attach to the hot shoe. The red plastic cover that goes over the LED's came off and smashed and the diffuser and bounce card came out and got broke as well.

The flash still works otherwise but obviously I don't want a mangled flash with no diffuser and white card and a missing LED cover. Is there an easy way to repair these flashes?

I just can't believe how poor the build quality is that a drop from waste height caused this sort of damage, two of my Nikon lenses fell off an 8ft shelf and were totally undamaged.

Of course the build quality is poor, it's something like a 3rd of the cost or less than the equivalent from canon or nikon. If it bothers you just buy another and keep what you have left as spare parts

That said I wouldn't want to drop my 600RT from waist height either onto anything other than carpet.
