If you could glue or epoxy some sort of wall or ring surrounding
the pushbutton, even a low ring might be enough to prevent
accidental release but still allow you to easily push the button.
You might not even need to use a complete ring. Maybe just a small
wooden or metal block on either side of the pushbutton would work.

Alternatively, if the pushbutton uses a coiled spring and you can
disassemble the thing, a shim used to compress the spring a little
more might help by requiring more force on the pushbutton than your
clothing could provide.

Their Ultra Clip requires both that you push the button and turn the whole
case 90 degrees before it comes loose.
