Beautiful, but badge holder can't stand up to the beating

i loved the look of this lanyard, but unfortunately since I take my badge and other cards out of it frequently, the plastic badge holder at the end started ripping badly after only a few weeks.  If you buy this item, make sure to buy a more sturdy badgeholder to attach to it.

Really a gorgeous bag. People stop me every other day to comment on it. Unfortunately the leather and its hardware is not very sturdy and does not stand up to repeated use. I've had the bag for less than 4 months and there is a hole developing in the bottom of the leather and the strap has broken twice (once after only a week of use). Beautiful statement piece but would not recommend for regular use.

I really love the idea behind this umbrella, it's so elegant and cool. I like it so much that I bought one for myself, and then I bought one for my brother.
Mine arrived in good shaped, worked well, LOVED IT.
My brother's arrived, broken. The hilt guard was shattered, so I had him return it, and I ordered him another one. This one arrived ok, he LOVES IT.
A couple days ago, the hilt guard on mine, cracked and half of it fell off. Now there's a sharp edge where you don't want sharp edges, and it looks crappy because it's broken. Exactly the way my brother's was broken.
The difference is that it took over a month for mine to break, but broke is broke.
I hope his second one last longer than mine did.
I would love to recommend this item, but I can't. It's a cheaply made novelty item that's not going to last, and that's a shame. How much would it have costed to have a plain metal disk for a guard? They went with the cheapest possible plastic and it ruins a great idea.

This is a really great looking passport holder. It also does a great job of protecting my passport along with a few travel cards I like to have with me on international trips. The big issue, which prevents me from giving this holder a better review, is that the leather used to make this is not durable at all.

I purchased the Shvigel holder for a recent trip I was taking to Japan. I wanted something to protect my passport while I was abroad, and this seemed to have style and function. By the time I had gotten back, the leather was fraying on the sides, had warped on the top left of the front of the case, and was bleeding color onto other things in my backpack. I was not using this in my back pocket or in a place where it was getting beat up. It primarily staying in the front pocket of my backpack.

I would expect something for this price to hold up a little better, and was surprised at how fragile it was after my trip. The whole purpose of purchasing a leather cover for something is that leather is typically tough, durable, and lasting. I would say, unfortunately, the Shvigel holder is none of these things.

I loved this wristlet until it started falling apart, which only took a couple months. I've attached pictures of the parts I had trouble with including the finish wearing off and leaving little white patches all over, the card section breaking which happened within the first month of use, and the wrist strap breaking which is why I stopped using it. I don't want to drop my phone when the strap finally decides to snap completely. I wish it was constructed better because I loved the look and feel of the wallet.

The buckles are absolutely gorgeous. They're sleek, shiny and a good heft to wear. The bad things about them are, the teeth wear into the belts, especially when you use the same buckle for multiple straps as I do, and lose grip strength when you do so. The other bad thing I have encountered is that the pins inexplicably fall out of the sides so I remedied that by putting gorilla glue down the hole and then reinserting the pins. This is a good solution but the glue comes up out of the sides. Annoying but not incredibly noticeable. Once I solved the solution of the pins, the metal broke and made the original buckles completely unusable. Despite that, $20 for a great buckle, awesome fitting belts, is totally worth it every 2-3 years. Happy to purchase again.

I recently bought 100 of these to hold art badges for sale at a convention.

The good: The badges seem to be made of very durable, thick, flexible plastic. I never had any problem with the badges sliding out. Even if they did, the location of the hole for the badge clips would make it difficult for card or plastic badges to make an unplanned exit.

The bad: I had a bit of difficulty getting the badges (which were printed on 100# card stock) to slide into the holders correctly. Apparently there's a trick to it, and you have to be careful to not let the badge get the slightest bit crooked, but once you figure it out, it usually isn't too bad. I also had one holder out of the hundred break when trying to insert the badge clip.

Overall, I think these are a great deal for the price and would definitely recommend this brand.

This badge lasted only a few days before falling apart. I put it right next to the other badge on my laptop, and that one is fine. It will probably be fine as long as its in a spot where you do not touch it.

The growth chart itself is quite beautiful .  It is affixed across three heavy duty cardboard panels and is sturdy.  However, the ribbon is not securely fastened to the growth chart.  It is only glued on between the cardboard and paper backing.  One year in, both corners have detached.  Of course, I can easily repair this.  Considering how heavy the growth chart is, physically securing the ribbon to the chart may be a better approach.

The watch is beautiful. I really love the design. It's pretty well made, and the mineral dial window is pretty good, no scratches so far. However, the wristband is not that good. Just after a couple of weeks, it started to peel by the edges (not very noticeable), and after a couple of months, it got all hard and bent. Every time I wear it, I'm afraid the band will just break because I need to bend it hardly while buckling it. I'm starting to look for a band replacement soon.

It's a decent lanyard I bought for work to hold my badge and it looks nice but after a week or so it broke.  I'm sure I can fix it with crazy glue or something.  But still. Sub-par I say.

I adore the charm- perfect for the Dodger fan that I am. However the chain clasp was extremely flimsy and broke the first time I wore it (actually did not even get to wear it that first time I wanted to- it broke as I put it on) so be prepared to switch chains. The charm has held up though- THAT'S why I give the product 4 stars. The little blue "gems" have stayed in place and nothing has chipped or worn off. (I would have returned it but figured the new product would have the same flimsy clasp on that chain as well. It would be made by the same manufacturer so since I liked the flip-flop charm I just put it on a different chain and saved the hassle and time of a return.)

My note reflects a mixed bag feeling:
- The medal is beautiful, the engraving is well done and the flipping parts are sturdy
- This holds multiple showers and workout without fading
- Contains an extremely high level of nickel as I got allergies right away and unfortunately cannot wear it anymore.
Overall Im very desappointed as I loved the design!

Had this wallet for about a week before the inside lining in the credit card area bagan to unravel into shreds. I have always been careful with this wallet, but no matter what I did, it came more and more unreliable. The opposite side of the case that holds my iPhone 5 has been very good thus far, it has not cracked as other reviews here have stated, and it is a great looking case, I always get great compliments on it! But, the ID card holder really sucks, it's become quite a disappointment for me, it will hold maybe my ID & one credit card. No money and definitely no change will fit. Otherwise, this wallet is good. Just be aware that what you pay for, you'll get back in quality.

The card holder is great, if you can keep all your rhinestone's from falling off. The ID holder reel completely broke!!! After only using it for a little over a month! Although it's very pretty, it has not shown to be very durable. Especially not for daily usage!

I love the lanyard but I do not know how long the badge holder will last because it looks like it will not pass the test of wear in time. I'm afraid I will lose my badges if it breaks off....

This is a great looking case.  The leather is perfect, and the extra slot for cards is a great feature.  However, it has a stupid problem.  Usually with these types of wallet you can rely on the leather to stretch to accommodate the cards.  However, in this case, the leather is actually bound together with a vinyl plastic.  If you try and put too many cards in (2 or more), the vinyl will stretch and eventually tear.  This has started happening to me, and I had to try and put it back together with super glue.  I'll hang on to this for a while longer, but I'm already looking out for my next case.
