I had the seidio model for a while and it died on me as well. I recently picked up a similar model (retractable with a mic nut no inline volume) at Target for $15. I'd actually prefer a minimal pigtail without a mic, as when you add this bundle to a standard length headphone you end up with way too much cable and it's a pain to position the mic properly anyways. Actually, what I'd really prefer was that phones just used a standard 3.5mm jack, but I'm sure that's asking too much...
