> 3 dayI got this luggage due to the novelty of having an initial. I thought that I would compare it against another luggage tag that I purchased a few months back. According to the listing, this tag is made of rubber and my old orange tag is made of silicone. Feeling them together, there doesnt seem to be much of a difference as far as bendability. The texture on the rubber is maybe a little less smooth. From a design perspective, this tag has the name card sandwiched between two pieces of plastic. You can make it private by facing the back side outwards, where it has instructions in various languages to flip the card over (see picture). My old orange tag has the card behind a piece of plastic, with a cutout in the silicone that is just large enough that your name is visible (it can be blank too - your contact info is on the other side). I think my main concern with this tag is the amount of surface area that is open to the elements. That plastic window is big and if the bag gets rained upon, moisture could collect and eventually find its way to the edges and onto the paper card. Ive also seen these types of frame tags get the edges ripped off by baggage equipment and then your card falls out. The much smaller window on the orange tag reduces these risks. Note the hole placement as well, its practically impossible for the card to slide out of the orange tag but there is some potential on the black tag. I see that Shacke sells another version of this tag with a full privacy cover. It was a dollar cheaper at the time of this writing. I think Id go with that version if you want a letter initial tag. I would also suggest that you choose a color that has high contrast with your luggage. For example, I use the orange tag with black luggage and I can always spot it quickly. I will use this black tag with a light green bag that I own.

> 3 dayNeeded durable luggage tags that wouldn’t crack and stay on my luggage. These look strong. I’ll know more after my two trips during summer.

> 3 dayI really needed a new luggage tag and so this came at just the right time since I am going on a trip in a few weeks. I like that the loop that attaches the tag to your suitcase is made of metal since my last one was not and I dont have that last one anymore. LOL. BUT...my concern would how durable this tag would be in the long run. In particular, on the back side, there is a window where your personal information can be seen (if you have privacy issues, this may not be the tag for you). In order to create the window, there is another rubber piece that is on top of the main rubber piece. I feel like over time, this rubber window piece would start to tear off and once its no longer there, your personal information would have no way of staying on as well. Which I think would render the tag useless. Its a good looking tag but I dont know if I can count on this for a couple of years.

> 3 dayI recently traveled by plane and the airline lost the tag I had on my suitcase. I bought this for my return trip and will probably purchase more. I like the sturdy strong wire cable attachment. Easy to put on and remove.
