Is this the redesigned version with metal plates for the display hinges?

Coincidentally, the laptop came back with a bad hard drive. I pulled the case apart and it is the new redesigned bottom shell with metal reinforced mounts.

I don't think so ... The one I got said it was the new part, but was the same the old one. I reinforced with epoxy.

From this picture, this isn't the one I have. I'm not sure which one this is. Maybe they upgraded the original design.

All I know is the older models have a problem with the hinges breaking. I don't know if they have solved this problem or not.

I don't know about the old version. The new one I Purchased broke In two days. The removeable base latches broke and plastic cracked.

Since when, redesigned. I'm perfectly happy with the top latch. It works great with minimum finger control. I purchased my model within the last 9 months.

No, I just received this today (took a month to ship from China!) and it does not have the magnetic hinge. It did look like the last picture and has a flimsy back cover. I was disappointed as I was replacing one that was just a front cover with hinge that I liked, but accidently bent up. Amazon said I was reordering the same thing but it wasn't. Bummer.

Short version is no, the hinge is molded plastic continuous with the body and the lid. However there are two metal hinge pins. I have owned many of these footlockers for use on mission trips to Africa and other places, they have been overloaded stacked and abused and the hinges have never failed. I recommend this product.

That's the one on my 2014 even though it says 2013. I did some research and found they were the same. As far as I know 2015 should be the same too. Bestop customer service was the best. I accidentally forgot to buckle the cover when it was folded and the wind caught it and broke 3 of 4 hinges. Emailed Bestop and asked if they had hinges for sale and they sent all 4 at no charge.

I don't know, but I directly contacted Amazon and they were very helpful. I originally wasn't sure if the metal plate was included and called - the rep. was very knoweledgleable.

Yes but I wouldn't uses this one again the screen is is harder to see. Not of same quality of original screen.

Yes, to my knowledge the display is Gorilla Glass 3 coated with an oleophobic layer. Mind you, I have no way of verifying this for sure, but it feels identical to the original glass, and has held up well to abrasive punishment as well as fingerprints thus far.

It is both. The gray you can see in the picture (which is also on the bottom, not easily seen in the picture) is metal. The metal panel on top can be released by pushing button on the side to access the inside hardware. This metal on top was plenty sturdy to support my fairly heavy LCD monitor. The two sides, black color in the photo, are metal. Only the faceplate is plastic. (edited)

I can't really tell you......I was replacing existing hinges and put the screws back in the same holes.

No. They kind of misrepresent the product. It's just the upper hinges for both doors. I took a gamble on this and came out very disappointed.
