Good thing it's a durable material and the buckle still feels good. The bad thing, as another reviewer well said, is that my tip is wider than the belt, which not only catches every loop of the belt when taking it off, but also makes it difficult to thread the loop when putting it on. More important to me was and still is that the extra width of the tips makes it very difficult to thread the tip through the buckle. In my case it has to be forced with some force, which I think will affect its durability. I can try bending the ends of the tip inward to make it less wide, but I'm afraid I'll screw in the tip to fix the problem. If the tip was the right width, or perhaps adjusted properly to make it less wide, that would be ideal. I usually buy this kind of belts from another seller and never had this problem.
