I had wanted to try this type of belt for some time, so took the plunge on a daily deal at Amazon to do so.  The belt arrived a few days later in an unassuming cardboard box.  A 1-minute read of the instructions and I was good to go!  I could stand to trim some of the belt off, but haven't bothered as of yet.  The mechanism works quite well and seems to be of high quality.  I liked this belt so much after two days that I have ordered another color with the same buckle.  Its a steal at this price and the unique buckle on this belt makes it look like a normal belt.  Bravo!
