Do the plastic parts hold up or do they break easily?

I've never had a problem & this is the 3rd lumix I've owned...I do keep it in a case as I got dust in the lens(of the 1st one) I was told it's always a good idea even if it's in a slip case.

The plastic parts are fine. The problem is the small buttons to turn on the camera and to shift to play back.

It should last a long time, it is a plastic ball-joint, buts it's very maneuverable. Unless you abuse this product, I don't see why it would break under normal circumstances.

They're a hard plastic that does wear down and become fragile. Little bits have broken off of mine and I've only had it a year. I use it approx. 2 times per week and regularly use the dishwasher to clean it.

no, not at all. I've had one I've used for five years. The plastic seems a bit more flexible, and doesn't seem to crack.

I've had mine for a while and it's held up great. Just be sure to not over tighten the screw on parts and never over load it. Other than that, it's awesome!

I would say these cases are pretty sturdy. I've not had any trouble with them breaking or anything.

They're not flimsy, but they are plastic. I don't use them so really can't say that they last or not. Sorry

They seem pretty durable to me. I'd say they'd hold up. They don't work very well for inside use, just an FYI

We have not had any problems with these breaking easily like some others I have purchased.

They last a long time, since there's nothing much to break or foul. All the plastic ones, even though they have some metal parts, break down pretty quickly, since the firing mechanisms are more complicated. Simplicity is the key.

I haven't had any problems with it yet. It feels sturdy but it is mostly made of plastic along with the stand that it comes with.

These head phones do break easily. My kids broke them within two day of receiving them. I had to take them apart and super glue the hinge back together. Ever since, they have been fine. I don't know if that is because my kids have been careful with them since breaking them.

I have had mine for about a year or maybe more and I am pretty hard on it. It has held up well.

Surprisingly they haven't broke yet. ... Well my daughter dropped hers and a piece broke on the handle. I haven't heard them complain of it jamming. The "bullets" have lasted a lot longer than I thought they would. My 8 year old and 10 year old love them!

Seems to be just plastic. It's feels sufficient, but I don't think it could take a beating. There's some metal around the important parts. The two holders on the side are probably the weakest part.

The plastic pieces are well made, strong and resistant. I have had mine for two years.

It's a combination of metal and plastic, but the plastic is sturdy. I don't feel like it would easily break.
