Nope,

Never happened, sorry. Using white, old NTTs for like 6 years.

But, the old model has a different "loop" for straps.

Might be wrong but don't they carry a 2 year warranty?

I had the same problem with my Duotone Entity (NTT), lasting just a little bit more than 6 weeks. After that one of the straps broke during a jump a the same point you mentioned. On the other strap you could see the same kind of wear.

Duotone replaced it, but I will not buy them anymore. The old North NTT had also a problem with the strap not holding tight after some use and opening by themself in the water. They sold it unchanged for a couple of years... :(

The new 2019 replacement are starting to show signs of hairline cracks in the same area again after little use....ENTITY STRAPS SUCK. Pretty expensive and so comfy but brake way too soon.
