Katydyn Befree Advice or Alternative

I switched from a Sawyer Sqeeze to a Katydyn Befree for a 4 day trip this last weekend. I loved it in practice, it was super easy to scoop up water at crossings... However... Knowing the BeFree is very delicate, I babyed it... I didnt actually apply any pressure and just sucked water through the cap. Still though, I got two holes in it. How do people deal with this? Or is there an alternative which is more robust.
