The belt does what it says.  I gave it 4 stars because it has a horrible plastic smell that doesn't seem to go away.  I have a very keen sense of smell, so to me, it's very strong, but others don't smell it as much.  Also, it will bend to the shape of your belt loops, so if you're like me and have a good amount of junk in your trunk, the belt will have a permanent indentation at those 2 belt loops on the left and right side of the back of your jeans.  Doesn't look bad when you are wearing the belt, but when you take it off it looks deformed.

6/1/11 Update - Ok, the belt has totally warped.  the dents where my belt loops hit the belt are permanent and if I wear jeans that don't have belt loops in those exact places, it looks absolutely horrible.  FAIL.
