Quality Disappointing

In most cases someone only buys one of these. - I had a chance to buy two at once for me and my soulmate. If only I would buy one - like most do. I would not notice or doubt the quality comparison of the same product from the same seller. First: I noticed the quality of the flash. One had a decent matte thick durable zipper. The second has a glossy finish from a flimsy, flimsy, cheap-feeling zipper. Thought a cheap zipper might be of an older model, looked inside and the tag says where it was made and the year. So I was unexpectedly shocked by the nice thick strong zipper of the old 2016 model and the flimsy thin and cheap zipper (which was just tested as I write this, I can bend it with my thumb and forefinger - and I'm a woman ) was manufactured in 2018. So it looks like they switched to a cheaper zipper on newer models which obviously doesn't last long. Pretty disappointing as "mostly" men (of course women too) handle this aspect of the car. So this zipper can easily break. So when I get my car back I might have a wheel lock key case with a broken zipper pull. (Where I've had this zipper on a few items in the past and you usually have to try and move around the base without a grip with your nails which is very difficult) Second: according to the instructions (picture included) the side elastic is loop for the key wheel which I originally told my significant other it might have been for the handle he folded the package into and a picture/instructions were provided immediately for that mysterious little loop. He then tried to put his finger in and automatically explained that unless you actually stretch that loop provided, he wouldn't know if a finger would fit, because he couldn't even put his pinky finger in it. Which confirms my original thought that this is for a feather due to the width provided. So it's a waste of time, because after that, the long-term quality prognosis and longevity won't be good at all. Third: 2018 new product (with cheaper zipper) is a little bigger. Not sure if this was intentional or just a sewing/manufacturing error. (I just want to say that it was a mistake - if you want to save on everything, then why add a few millimeters of fabric? - No, and higher). Therefore, the older product from 2016 with a very nice zipper is slightly smaller. but inside was silica gel (desiccant). While the newer 2018 cheap zipper is not. In closing, I'm now being paid to write this review - and I didn't get it for free. I was just so disappointed with the overall performance. I always say go big or go home. When you decide to manufacture a product. Consider the quality and durability of your product. - again if I only bought one. then I wouldn't have noticed this lack of quality as they try to keep it going. Overall a good idea, but I'm very upset that I have two with completely opposite characteristics. I will be returning it in hopes of getting an older product with a better zipper. As added for the side loop. it's a waste. I won't bother stuffing a key/wheel lock handle in as the picture clearly and beautifully shows.
