Protuner for iPhone and iStrobe tuner by Peterson are very accurate tuners. Now if I could only figure out a way of clipping my iPhone onto my uke!

I have a Peterson, only problem is that I can't use it, because the little pivot that supports the spring/ pin developed a stress crack and broke!!!
Do you thing Peterson will replace the part?
I think that the Peterson holds the title of best clip-on tuner but is pricey. I really like Korg's AW-2 for the price and accuracy. I use it on uke, guitar and bass and it can handle really low tunings very well.
Can we just replace this entire thread with a sticky, which says:
"If you can afford a Peterson, buy one. If not, buy a Korg AW-2. If that's still a bit expensive, buy a Snark SN-2"
Hi, I'm new and I'm looking for a cheap clip on tuner. Would you guys say the Planet Waves NS Mini Headstock tuner is better than the Snark SN-6 or the Oahu tuner that HMS recommends?
I have both, actually just got the NS mini Headstock today
I compared both as in I tuned with NS then the Oahu (since I had that first, I used this as my guide), it seemed fine.
There is a review on amazon that it is off-key when compared to the peterson strobe
I like both, but the size of the NS is really small enough where I'm just going to leave it on but with the lcd on top instead of the way it's being typically used, underneath the headstock.
The neat thing is that you can flip the lcd display by holding the freq button so that it's not upside down if you have it above the headstock
original display placed top of headstock

Winner is Kala KC03 tuner metronome because it's going on sale for $10 in the next day. Tuner & metronome in one! We can tune all day but our string pressure makes it irrelevant. Look at my fingers! Mine as well work on timing. Playing and listening to something other than myself? hmm
