Bought this for a friend of ours who likes purple and didn't want others stealing his capo. He uses the curve at the top to hold his cigarette. I've bought this kind for my husband before as well in black. They work great for changing keys without having to completely retune the guitars to another key in the middle of a gig. I have several musician friends wanting me to order this capo for them in different colors now. The seller sent the exact item pictured and the shipping was quick. The price was pretty good too considering how much our local music store charges for a capo that doesn't stay. This one grips the strings tight enough not to shift while playing. Easy to put on and move as well. Would definitely purchase again.
