The badge holder has a duel wearable design: you can either attach it to your belt loop via caribener style or use the clip on back to slip in on your belt itself. Each has it's own advantages depending on how you plan to use it.Caribener Style: Most secure design hanging from your belt loop of your pants. It's ideal if you need you just need a wireless/NFC badge access to the building or to clock in/out for work. The caribener is easy to put on, but a bit tough to remove especially when it's not right in front of you. Also it may dangle around a bit when speed walking (or faster speed) depending on how your badge is positioned (vertically or horizontally)Clip Style: The clip is very tight on the badge holder which is good since you don't want it to hang loose. It fits very securely to your belt, pants itself, or shirt pocket. It doesn't dangle around a lot when active like the caribener style, but the caribener portion sticks out a bit which looks very odd. Also the clip may have a shorter shelf life compared to the caribener style depending on how rough you are with it. Clip style is ideal if you need to physically hand off your badge to someone often, have to hang your badge above the waist, or if you use your card holder as a money/credit card wallet and need to unclip it for access.Retractable cord works very well.

    Quite nice. I always prefer using these badge holders over neck lanyards. Neck lanyards always seem to get in the way and wind up in my lunch or whatever. These clip on-belt badge holders are far more convenient for me and still perform their function. I only needed one of these however, in stores, these can cost $6-$9 each. Getting 5 of these for $7 is a no brainer for me. Great bargain and hoping these will last me for quite some time.

    Only issue I have is that the retractable rope seems a bit tight. I'm hoping this will get a little more fluid over time but previous badge holders I've had like this (from other manufacturers) worked a lot more smoothly than these do.

    I've been using the same clip for about 4 months now, and it is working just as well as Day 1. I expect it to last a good long time.

    It has dual attachment technology ;-) meaning a gate-style wire that works on the same principle as a carabiner... and a metal clip that can fit over your belt.

    The retractable reel cord extends a couple of feet, more than enough to reach comfortably as far as your arm can reach.

    Since you're buying 5 of them, go ahead and give 3 of them away. Keep one just in case, but I doubt you'll need it.

    ================= UPDATE =======================
    It's now 7 months, and I just had a product failure.

    The spring loaded reel is still working just fine. But the black portion that contains the reel has separated from the chrome outer ring that attaches to a belt loop. If I knew where that outer ring was, I would try to reattach it; I suspect it might give me another 7 months of use.

    I should add, the reel has been the subject of much play from my 3 young grand daughters. So it's been torture tested many times these past 7 months and has held up perfectly.

    I have been using these for a while. Actually, I have been using the same one, I gave the other 4 away to colleagues. No ones has just "fallen apart". I wear mine at my waist using the clip hook, and it moves around a lot more than if it's clipped up at your chest, and I have had no problems at all. The other reviewers saying that it "falls apart" do not realize that it's MEANT to be taken apart so that if you want to use the clip that's on the backside you won't have a hook snagging things. The only complaint I have is that the rubber thing that's meant to soften the impact between the main part of the reel and where you clip your badge rubs the string and causes it to wear down. Overall this is the best badge reel I have found and the most durable!

    Decent but I play with/swing my badge a lot so the string starts to fray after several months. For the price, though, that's a cheap per-day cost. I don't like that the black plastic part separates from the metal; it takes some force but I've had it pop apart a few times in a pocket with some keys. The construction is generally more solid and of high quality that some others I've seen, which can get much shoddier than these.

    Sadly, my job makes it necessary to wear a lanyard and ID badge. And even more sadly, the retractable line I use it's indestructible...the cord frays, the clip breaks, etc.

    So replacing them is something I do relatively often. I really like this holder. The carabiner on top combined with the clip on the back makes it easy to attach to the various lanyards I have, or I can put it on a belt look or a shirt pocket. The line itself is a little thicker than I was used to, so either my job cheaped out on their holders or this is more sturdy than regular holders. The action is smooth and the length is just right for swiping into secure areas.

    In short, it's a really good product. I also like having a pack of five because that means I have spares.
