Meepers, since you're from philly, you should see if reload could swap out the strap for you.

LoRok, it's great how you automatically assume the plastic clip is crap without having used it. As I mentioned earlier, I used to own a chrome metro before this and so far, this plastic buckle has proved to be just as durable as the seatbelt buckle. Also, do you really think a company with a reputation for durability such as reload would settle for a crappy plastic buckle?
