Is this the new model with the silcone grommet ?

Just to confirm, I ordered a little over a week ago, and the model I received IS the new version with the silicon probe grommet. At first I thought I was shipped an old stock model, because it says "2011" for the copyright date on the box under the weber logo.

I ordered this last week and it arrived yesterday and mine DOES have the silicone grommet. Happy Smoking!

The persistent answer to this should be "yes and no". The Weber model 731001 is both the grommet version and the non-grommet version. There is no difference in the box or model number between the grommet and non-grommet models. Weber considers both to be the exact same product, with the addition of the grommet being a minor design change made mid-production in late 2013. They don't make the non-grommet version anymore, but they are still in warehouses out there, and without opening the box (or knowing exactly when it was made/shipped by weber to the warehouse), there's no way to know for sure which version is inside. At this point you are likely to get a grommet model, but there are no sure-fire gaurntees that you won't get one that's been sitting in a warehouse for a while.

do not purchase from the amazon store "aim to find" they just sent me the older model without the grommet, even though I asked them if they could send me a newer box

Apparently the newest model was released Aug. 2014 by Osprey - I doubt this is the newest one! (I just bought the brand new one in stores - loving it!)

Yes it is the updated stronger silicone. I know what you mean my old one was very flimsy, this is much more heavy duty.

Yes there is! I'm not sure why some are saying there's only two. Unless there are different models. I'm looking at mine now and it clearly has three grommets.

The one I ordered several months ago had the new backplane in it. The PCB was also blue instead of green like the older case I am using.

Yes picture is right. I think they have one newer model but this model works great in my opinion.

I am not sure about the new version. The case is perfect for my version and worth the investment for the Samsung branded case.

It is different than the one I got. I'm not sure of the year of either model.

I suppose that this is the new model. I got it in the fall last year. Its a Gerber knife. Not serrated, drop point, full tang. I has a very nice grip. Sheath is ambidexterous, I like it....no worries....

I am not sure if it is the updated model or not, I do know it was easy to install and has worked very well since I installed it myself.

I saw the new design, compared with the old one, seems to be in a rectangular fasteners, I can't find the product number, because I threw the packaging

Yes, this is a common defect with these models, it's a combination of the polymer used and the design. Yes it will happen to newer items, don't buy this. I can't say about their other models that employ a different design, use at your own risk.

No grommets--a plastic reenforced hem at the top with button-hole openings for the hangers. Seems sturdy, especially if you have a liner to take some of the stress.

Yes! I believe that is the model I purchased when I ordered this case. It fit perfectly

No, No. its most likely a similar better or same or the newer version. if you need the exact model do not get it
