I was so happy to order them with such a great deal because otherwise I could never have afforded them. I always wanted the Chocolate Frog one first but I’m so glad I ordered this one too. It’s so beautiful. I dare not use it because even if it’s metal, it does fade unfortunately. So I want to keep them shiny.
I had the original one for about a year before it ended up coming apart and was skeptical that this new form factor would suit my needs. I'm two months in, so far it's great upgrade and reduces significant amount of bulk from the previous version. It pops off less often (since it doesn't have the long piece for orientation) with the same secure hold. I hope it'll out perform in terms of durability – but time will tell.
