Simple, Elegant, Functional, even for Men
I was at a restaurant recently and I had some expensive camera gear in my sling bag that I didn’t want to put on the ground or too far from my sight. When I turned around I saw a woman using a purse hook to hang her bag from the table and so I looked on Amazon and found this.
I like this because for one it looks simple and sleek but is very functional. Being a male I didn’t want to use anything that looked like some of the other purse hooks for my camera bag. This really fit the bill because the simple black ring doesn’t draw much attention to itself.
I also like the fact that it is spring loaded so I don’t have to put this in a pocket in my bag that I have to fumble through to find ever, I just leave it attached to my bag loop and use it instantly when needed. The spring seems to be reasonably strong whereas I don’t see it falling off without effort.
The hook itself also seems very durable and well made. The metal construction feels sturdy and the rubber feet are a good amount of tacky to prevent slipping or sliding. I also feel fairly comfortable hooking on a thousand plus dollars of camera gear and other things to this.
The price is slightly high in my opinion. I mean paying a premium price isn’t really all that much to ask for holding on to valuable and important things but I felt $15 should have been $10-$12 at most. I bought 3 in total for myself, my wife, and a friend and that added up fast.
Price aside, this is simple, elegant, and very functional. The major test for this product will be the test of time so let this be a preliminary review and I will come back every so often to update this review on whether or not this clip holds up over time. For now, I think it’d great and even at $15 I can recommend it.
