I have it and cap is plastic for sure and so is the clip. Body also feels plastic (unless they use some kind of metalic alloy that feels like plastic). It is a big lighter and feels cheap (doesn't have a weight to it). I'm sort of disapointed since I was expecting something much better: heavy duty, milled out of allu or steel. It has its selling points thou such as being totaly waterproof (come to think of it that's the only selling point). When you screw in the top everything is sealed and no water can get in there. But at the same time because top cap is screwed in this lighter is not a good edc lighter. Well let me rephrase it: if you use a lighter often it is a pain to open it up everytime you want to have a smoke. On the other hand if you just use a lighter every now and than it is a good tool. Personally I wouldn't use a clip and either carry it in my pocket or on the lanyard. Since cap is big it is easy to unscrew even with cold or gloved hands. Also ignition button is nice and big. Only time will show how it will hold up. No major crazy trips until the spring but for sure this lighter has a place during my kayaking outings.

If anyone is interested: You can do the same thing by taking a U.S Army G.I. matchcase (yes, the plastic one) and putting a mini-Clipper lighter in it.
I am sorry to have to report that the much loved Bic will go in, but it's impossible to extract without pliers.
