I saw some reviews mentioning that this belt buckle doesn't hold the belt but decided to give it a try anyway. The other review was correct. The buckle is ok (I tested it with another strap and it worked fine) but the strap itself is not thick enough for the buckle to hook into it well. I tried the belt with a different buckle and that buckle didn't hold the belt. I think the problem is clearly that the tape material wasn't thick enough. I had to send it back as a strap that doesn't hold up isn't very useful.
