The quality of this item went from excellent to miserable over the span of 2-3 years. This will fall apart in 4-6 weeks of use. I do expect 6 months of use for a $6 item. only 6 weeks simply does not make the grade. It irks me endlessly that they turned a good thing to trash, just to squeeze a few more RMB in profit from their customers. Sad, very, very sad! Do not expect more than 4-6 weeks durability from this item.
