I got a Gunmetal pair off ebay that had a black case but a different jack and had a standard black cord instead of the clear cord. I did not get that VIP card either. It said 2007 on the box, so I figured I got the new version.

I assume this is the new batch. I had to return my originals and received one of the new ones, about six months ago. Now my new ones have died just as the first ones did.

From the picture displayed they look like they are. I had the same ? when I made my purchase. I did read a review that said he received original. I already had tried both. I was hoping for the newer model thinking they would be better. However in my package of 5, one sprung a leak the first week anyway. I made have scraped it on the edge. I still have some originals from 3 yrs ago so I don't think it matters which you get. The color fades faster on the newer generation.

so, I had the same question and did some research and found out that there are 2 different models of charge tti's in the picture they show the old model , but list the new models model number. they give you the new model which looks like the one in this picture http://toolguyd.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Leatherman-Charge-TTi-Tools-2013-Style.jpg so pretty much they give you the new one but have not updated the pictures

The new version has different strap wraps. They're a lot longer and go around the chest clip.

Hi there! Andy here from Yummi Pouch - we have seen this issue in our current batch which is caused by a bad batch of zippers installed in the pouches! Such a bummer! We provide replacements for any pouches you have trouble with, plus our new batch in October has a new and improved double zipper that we just can't wait to release!

Mike, I may have already responded to this inquiry, but if not, here goes. It is my understanding that a new suffix letter is assigned with every little minor change to the existing unit. The only significant change I have personally seen, is when I bought the unit marketed under the "ETEKCITY" name, as a UV5RU. The 'band' button is missing. This is compared to a Bao Feng UV5RA, that it replaced. Actually, I like it more. Thank heaven, I got this 'scumputer' fixed.BTW, the 'emergency' battery pack does fit the Etekcity model, and the 3800mahr batt can fit all of them, if you're not afraid of trimming off a bit of plastic.

The first one I got was a knock off "Sofantex". I only realized when I reordered. The new one is clearly K&H; with a large K&H; logo sewed on the back. It is much higher quality. I'm not sure what to do now. That is pretty annoying. Update: I explained the issue to Amazon, and even past the return date, they are honoring an exchange. Thank you Amazon!

I believe the clip is actually a bit bigger, and, seemingly, more substantial. The connections of the band to the clip seems to have been improved with the redesign as well. Plus, as a side note, the bands themselves have a cord inside, preventing overstretching.

Looking at leatherman.com, it looks like there is a new version - in fact, it's the lead "story" on the site right now. This would likely be the reason for the price drop.Looking at the manufacturer's site, it looks like the only difference is cosmetic - the tools appear to all be the same. If it were me, I'd jump on the $20 savings and grab one of these before the new stock replaces it.

Hi Maria,Well, I haven't seen any other model, so I guess it's original.Works perfect, delivery and everything else is more than ok. Even got a pair of small earphones for free.But it is a big large for a woman's wrist.RegardsFlemming

It is the newest version if it comes in brown wrappers; this packaging looks like the one I ordered, so yes, this is the newest version. I used them in my Taylor Dreadnought 110e, and they fit fine and came out very easily. They didn't last as long as the older version although we did have very low humidity in VA this winter.

It may have been the original when you first asked this question a year ago but I received the slim version when I ordered it this week. Looking at recent reviews (Sept. 2015) I'm not alone in receiving the slim, unfortunately.

Beside the USB connector its pretty much the same. I never saw the new version but it looks like it's shape may be different.

While this is only speculation, I think Hayward maybe in between design modes with its TCells. The new one's appearance, as far as graphics and logo, was different than the older one that was replaced. However the important things to be identical were. e.g. size of cell, plug fit, pipe thread pitch and operations. While mine has been in use for less than 3 months it has operated without problem.

Just bought. Waiting to see what I receive. Looks like people are receiving different lengh cords. Some get the default 40 inches (100 cm) which is the same size as the the one you get in the box along with the phone, WHICH IS NOT THE PROMISED/SOLD LENGTH!. Some, however, received a longer one, close to 5ft long, which is the PROMISED/SOLD size, but not the "original" one. Confusing!!!
