I paid very little for this belt, and overall, I feel I got a spectacular bargain.  That being said, if I had paid full price, I might be a little less ecstatic.  There have been a couple of times where the buckle has just fallen off (only while the belt was not being worn).  Other than that, it is built pretty well, and I like the closing action of it.  It almost sounds like handcuffs locking (because I believe it is similar technology.  Overall, a pretty neat little belt.
