Buck, thanks for the photos. Shows how much I know - I thought the large flap was for quick thumb release. Knowing how it works makes it even more clever. I wonder if the pointy flap had a tendency to catch on brush and unsnap. Regardless, it's still neat.

Hello TAH,
Although the tab is quite large, it cannon be un-snapped from side-to-side movement - it flexes. The angled sides of the flap, allows it to slide along brush.
