Also, if you put it in a coin purse for a while it will get scratched, so it may be better to wear the person you care about outside.


I tried installing it in the backpack at the end.


In addition, the tag attached to the backpack damaged the plastic fastener with the impact bumped against the wall, and only the root remained in the screw hole.


IFixitSucceeded to retrieve with tweezers of the repair kit. I got a story by putting in spare fasteners. By the way, because the tag was not banging, it was a light impact enough to always occur if attached as a key holder, so there seems to be some problems in the strength of plastic fasteners.
