just wanted to show how so Version 3 doesn't have the same design fault

as you can see the hole in the metal has become to big to hold the pin thing :-(

please make a new one!

ahh that blows! I'd just some how take of the metal part, and pop a carabiner on there, it'll be back to new from there, minus the bottle opener.

Hope mine doesn't do that :/

Damn, that sucks! Mine is doing fine, the store will probably make more because everyone likes them and they sell out mad crazy.

I was afraid of that happening to mine. You could take a paper clip and rewire it through the whole and wrap a little duct tape around it. You'd lose the functionality of the carabiner but it would still hold keys

that sucks, just cut off the carabiner thing and loop on a regular keyring,  It wont look as good as before but atleast it will hold your keys well.

I hope this doesn't happen to mine! I play with my clincher thing all the time.

My friends broke the same way i think.

Both of mine are still holding strong though. But i just tape the metal spring thing shut so it doesn't somehow come open and drop my key, pass etc.

Since i can't constantly open and close the little metal thing, I haven't had this problem.

i put the keyring through the fabric loop, not through the caribiner, so i dont have this problem.

on a second note, i have taken the metal thing out to look at it and it looks and feels super flimsy.

maybe they could improve on it in the future

merry Christmas to all!

seriously.

obvious dibs are obvious for thread creator ... I am pretty sure i have a bunch of the original NS lanyards laying around my other house somewhere (yes the lime and pink neon ones). The order pm's come in are the order they go out. (I need a couple for secret santa(plus other gifts), and as i said dibs for OP) but im pretty sure i have 5-10 in my closet somewhere. I won't be home for another week or so, syke on the delay, but what the hell. i will forget about this thread if i don't post this now.

Oh and don't bother pm'ing me if you aren't a legit member who actually deserves one

cheers

the clip on my lanyard fell off like in the picture but i put some effort into putting the clip back on and its stayed for about 3 weeks now. looks like it should last but it feels kinda crooked.
