Escort specifically does not list that clip as an option for the 9500i because they worry having your 9500i mounted so close to the roof of your vehicle will cause GPS reception complaints. I can't say I've noticed any GPS problems when I've visor mounted mine (rubber bands), but do know they specifically don't list that visor clip for the 9500i for that very reason.
I recently ordered one of these myself...

I haven't received it yet, but the people around here who are using it seem to be very happy with it. Of course you're still going to find what I have with mine mounted just under my RVM, the buttons would be better placed on the bottom of the 9500i than on the top of it. At least its not very often that you even need to use the buttons on the 9500i though.
As far as strong tape, tape technology has advanced considerably in the past couple years. 3M has "VHB" tape on the market that has been designed to replace screws, rivets and welds for fastening steel and other materials in industrial and construction applications. Discovery channel or History channel one just had an episode not too long ago about modern adhesives and they were showing this new tape by 3M actually connecting a semi to a trailer and not pulling apart. They used the same tape to attach the outer glass skin on the new Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai.
