Been using it for a week now. The workmanship is good, no corners and edges or annoying metal chips. The mechanism is slightly larger than most denim belt loops, so most of the time you'll have to take it apart to put it on. With a little practice, you'll be able to do this fairly quickly. This is normal with this type of strap; this is the first thing i tried. Went this way because I was constantly wearing or tearing leather thongs for a year after my playing days.
