Bought 3 of these and they are pretty good. I like that they are all plastic so they don't scratch or pinch your waist like metal with sharp edges. I also like the included elastic strap. The strap is durable and will not "fold" on the waistband of pants/shorts. The buckle seems to hold the band in place. It takes a while to figure out which path is inside and which is outside, but it turns out pretty quickly if you can't pinpoint it. Ha!
