I also dont usually buy name brands. The non slip bottom works great for me. I ride a motorcycle every weekend, and Ive been looking for a set of earbuds that would last a full day of riding. Thats when I did some checking on the Internet, and saw this is a common problem with bags like this. He lives on island in the Caribbean and it’s pretty much summer year round so he needed sandals that were durable and comfortable to wear. As for the color, its on point. One of the bars does not tighten all the way on one side and was fairly loose and could be slid around by pulling it so I ended up just using some rubber and wedged it between to make them fit tighter. Hopefully he puts it to good use! *WHEN PUTTING CASE ON*Many people on here say that the case lifts when you open it, and you have to push it back down when you close it, but thats because they put it on wrong. I can walk and walk In them.
