But it look's pretty nifty.

It looks completely plastic, which concerns me both for durability and $50 value. Has anybody seen this up close?

It looks like a great alternative to the Cotton Carrier holster or the Spider System, if it can hold up. Not sure how it would handle a pro/gripped body though.

Thoughts?

The demo shows it takes 2 hands to release the camera.. I'm not a fan of that..

The plastic is probably really strong but I'd worry about it cracking. I'll be going Cotton Carrier.
