Update: After several months of heavy use, my string died yesterday by not retracting back. This is the second badge holder that has broke on me. Like my original review says, I extend the string a lot at work, so it's bound to happen. I won't subtract a star based on that because I feel like all of these clips sold on here are cheaply made.I'm required to badge-in/out on a daily basis through almost every door I use at work. I needed something with a retractable cord and purchased this based on the reviews.Initially, I liked that it was lightweight. It has a belt clip and a belt hoop clip. Both secure firmly but obviously the belt hoop clip is more secure. It also serves as a key chain.The big flaw however, is that the black circle inside the chrome housing can easily be punched out, causing the badge itself to drop to the ground. This has occurred several times and if you don¡¯t hear it, you may be without a badge and not even know it. I¡¯m not sure if this is a design choice or flaw, or if mine just didn¡¯t come glued together. But it definitely loses a star which is disappointing considering I like everything else about it. I haven¡¯t yet but I¡¯ll likely just superglue the thing to prevent this in the future.With that being said, I use my badge 20+ times a day and it¡¯s only fallen off a handful of times ¨C annoying and potentially costly, yes. But I can deal with it. I did however, want to let everyone on here know.
