Has anyone ever had an issue with the ribbon? Has it ever broken? I'm wondering if I should opt for a metal piece instead?

No problem, but I have only had the box less then a year. Great box for the price.

Mine has never broken, although I do not open and close it often. The ribbon is pretty cheap and thin. If you plan on opening the lid reportedly, I would get a metal hinge. If not, or does look very nice, especially for the price.

I've had this great product for about 4-6 months, I have the top stuffed with Watches, from large faced Invictas, Casio G-shocks. I use the bottom drawer for storage of bracelets and necklaces. The material has held up well and I haven't seen any sign that the ribbon might break. I would probaly craft another piece on if it did, as any type of metal latch or brace would compromise the space in the box and run the risk of wedging the lid closed. Overall a great box, well worth its cost.

Probably not because you broke it when you installed it . If it was cracked or damaged before hand then maybe the company will honor it. I once had a glass screen I installed have one of the ribbons tear loose during install from apparent bad QC on the manufacturers side and the vendor replaced it for me

Diego, It is all one piece. audio jack, and the hold switch which is next to the audio jack. You just need to release the small flip that holds down the ribbon and its contact points. If you haven't already, check out youtube on replacing set up. if you never done one, watch the clip, will give you the ins and outs and how to take part. I did mine with little problem. but thanks to the clip. also you need some small tools. One area you might do first is make sure you headphone/earbuds are good. I did mine and still had problems only to find out it was the head phones. hope this helps, contact me again if you need to. merry christmas. Joe

It's all about how you handle it. Consider it a collectible, made from plastic and metal cast. If dropped on its head I could see it possibly breaking. I personally haven't had any issues. It's dropped once or twice and it works just the same as ever. I did have to return the first one I'd ordered because the tip wasn't glued sufficiently. If was loose and sort of rattled around on its base. Had I dropped that one on hardwood floor I could totally see it breaking. But that's why I returned it. Just inspect it well, handle with care and you'll be okay. &#9786;&#128522;&#128512;

Just to add my two cents, as John said it is the same coupling--in fact we are using our old blade assembly with the new unit since the new blade seems to splash a lot more (why would they do that?!). Our old coupling was indeed the part that broke, necessitating the replacement, but it happened after years of regular service when we accidentally tried to blend a metal spoon with it. So to agree again with John, I think if you stick with blending non-metallic objects it should last a reasonably long time.

Carmen: I have tried it on ribbon and it works well. Careful about getting it to hot or it will singe the material. Off course it depends a lot on the material in the ribbon. The more nylon the better.

The ribbon on my case is extremely thin and seems very securely attached. I would not expect that it could be removed without damaging the case. The case functions flawlessly for me and I couldn't be more pleased.

I replaced my Asus theft with this screen and it worked fine. I didn't change any ribbons just reconnected them. A word of advice be very gentle around the ribbons. when i replaced my screen I inadvertently snapped the clip to the power ribbon. And now I have charging problems.

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.

I did not have any problem with mine, but I got the stainless steel. Other metals do not last as long and the writing gets hard to see.

I have the same issue. I use one cup more than the other 3 and after one month of usage the metal handle popped off. I tried to put it back but it would not stay on. I'm trying to contact the seller but I don't know how to?

I've used mine well over 100 times and the metal prongs are still solid. Must be defective, I'd send it back

I've used one of the ribbons for four months, and it's starting to get towards replacing, but still hanging in there. I am a CPA, so I'm obviously a heavy user. There is nothingwrong with these ribbons.

Mine just comes apart easily, in fact it falls off if I lift up the metal part. Maybe because it's old. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

I've had mine for about 2-3 years. The original pin broke really fast, less than 6 months. Fiskars sent out a repair kit free of charge with 3 replacement pins. The new pin hasn't failed so I assume that they reformulated the metal pin to be stronger or the original one came from a faulty batch.

Dean, I would contact the company and ask if you install it and it does not work will they refund you if you send it back, I bought one from E-bay and the ribbon cable did not work, very discouraging!

I have the same problem with the jewel too. I have to glue it and filial got broken too. So I have to return it and asked for a replacement. But as for the holes, mine doesn't have it. Just return it and asked for a replacement. Btw, it's pretty when you lighted it. Nice one!
