Let me start by saying that I haven't had this more than a few days. Since this arrived, I noticed that it is very light, a bit larger than the metal clips that lose the shape & retention which even with my bigger wad holds firmly, easily to get to my bills and clip back onto my bills. I do not use it with the 'bend' over the 'fold' of the bills, but use it covering across the bills with the bend across the fold of the bills which is the way I have always used them and gives me more ability to hold a larger wad of bills than trying to push the end over the fold in the bills...across the fold is thinner and easier to slide the clip onto and off of rather than going over the fold of the bills that never seem to be as thin as the rest of the wad due to the fold never being as flat as the sides. So, this review is about the way I carry my bills with the clip for those who prefer to carry the same way (or possibly switching the way you carry your clip now).
It has held the retention along with the original shape with the large amount of bills as well as the smaller amount of bills. It has that distinctive 'click' of what I think is strong retention without losing shape. It does feel light which I think is good because I don't need the weight of a clip to know where in my pocket my wad is..as for the 'plastic' 'feeling', it feels like a lightweight plastic BUT has the strength of (or better than) the heavier metal clips that NEVER kept shape when I went from a stack of 20-30 $20 bills to a stack of 10+ $100 bills...this keeps shap & retention no matter how much bills I shove into it.
As I said prior, I like the size of this because of the ease of removing the bills AND the ease of re-clipping them. I don't think the 'gloss' or 'matte' finish would make a difference in the ease of 'sliding-your-wad in & out' of because with this design and being bigger, it is easier all around to handle.
I only carry bills in that specific pocket, so I can't give you the 'scratch ability' whether it does or does not scratch easy, but I have not had any issues when handling while wearing my pinky ring coming in contact with it that would expect you to warrant it to be easily scratched, but so far my ring has not scratched, nicked or damaged it in any way. The gloss makes it very shiny..almost 'like' a metal clip and I would think that the matte would be the same as compared to a metal clip with a brushed finish...They look and sound like a metal clip but perform a lot better by not 'clumping' your bills or have the issue of ripping, tearing or bunching-up since it is flexible enough to get it on right and easy the 1st time..every time...it does not rip, tear or slide out most of your bills from the middle all over with the dropping the bills all over the place like some expensive but useless metal clips that I've thrown out.
I was a bit skeptical about a 'plastic-like'/'non-traditional' material, but when I seen it was carbon fiber, I took the chance for which I am rather glad I did. It has been (SO FAR..after only a few days) the best clip I've used. (I have not used cards in it as I generally do not like the bulky stiffness of the cards in my front pocket being very uncomfortable while sitting, so they stay in their own place where they belong.)
