Is the loop plastic and would it be easy to break?

The loop and the housing is plastic. The loop itself measures about 3/16" and looks pretty sturdy. However, anything plastic can break. I use it to backup my document files, and don't carry it around. I hope this helps.

It is plastic. I suppose it could break. I never use it to go on a key chain. I just bought it because it is Kingston and they are always reliable.

Agree with the previous answer: the USB connector is metal, but all else is plastic. The plastic has been molded *thick enough* to *not* be easily breakable.

It's just plastic. Not cheap quality, I don't think it is at risk of breaking with wear and tear.

Ours hasn't broken yet. The plastic isn't as sturdy as you'd think though. Seems to be serving its purpose as a liner.

You would have a hard time breaking it. I liked it so much I bought a 2nd one, you won't be disappointed in quality for price.

I don't think so. For $10, if it breaks just get a new one. This one is metal and more durable than the previous plastic one. It works great.

No , the product breaks near where the wheels are attached, bad design. I have had 3 like this all different brands . Plastic will flex no matter what you do. Buy a metal frame one. Even if you are skinny it will eventually break.

It's flexible enough that it won't break unless you really try to break it. I've used mine and it works great.

Yes! I just had one cap break, and it wasn't dropped. It wasn't treated delicately (it does travel with my child in her lunch box), but it wasn't abused either. I definitely wouldn't recommend this.

The clip is plastic and kinda hefty. I don't use the clip at all so I can't say it would or would not break.

There is a small steel loop attached to the camera body, which appears some kind of high density plastic. Could it break - I guess, but it would be hard to do.

The plastic seems very adequate for the purpose intended, I don't think it will break easily under normal usage or even slightly abusive use.

it is plastic, but responds easily and doesn't require pressure to move. I haven't had any problems or worry that it might be too fragile.

We returned it bc the plastic loops broke in one trip. We had to buy "real" straps for it at Home Depot.

No! If you attempt to remove the plastic tip the whole thing will break and will need replacement tip, the plastic holds the small rubber piece inside from breaking sooner than it should

It's rubber, but reinforced so it's fairly rigid. You should expect it to coil into approx. 18" dia. loops.

It should last a long time, it is a plastic ball-joint, buts it's very maneuverable. Unless you abuse this product, I don't see why it would break under normal circumstances.

The plastic is not very strong and its brittle. It easy breaks if you are not careful.
