Review on Senz Midnight Blue Automatic by Elizabeth Glover

Beautiful umbrella. Withstands strong winds. I like the teardrop shape. I carry a backpack every day and the extended part of the umbrella also covers part of the backpack. Even if it's just parts, it's still better than a regular shaped umbrella that leaves the whole backpack exposed. It is identical in weight to other umbrellas but seems to me to be a bit lighter compared to another umbrella of the same size. The position of the button is a bit awkward as it faces forward (I hold my umbrella with the large face forward and the narrow face back), making it a bit difficult to press. Maybe it takes some getting used to. Another thing is that the case that comes with the kit is not that durable. I received the umbrella not long ago and have used it several times. The velcro is sewn on the body of the bag, which offers a wider opening and makes it easier to pull out / put in the umbrella. The last time I tried to make the hole wider, part of the Velcro came loose from the body of the pouch. Can the bag still be used? Yes. Does it affect the bag in any way? Not exactly because velcro is needed to make the opening wider and narrower, but most bags have a wider opening anyway. It just annoys me that a brand new product should become damaged after just a handful of normal use.
