This is for the new design (which, as I said in Maleth's thread, I can't compare to the previous design). I figured it best to make a stand-alone review of my own rather than crash his thread.
Mine arrived last Friday (3 October) fortunately while I was outside as I had to sign for it and was the only one home -- I figured I would mention that because I haven't seen any mention before, or can't remember any mention before, of people having to sign and wanted to give a heads up to that possibility. It took three weeks and actually spent the longest time in limbo, so to speak: 5 days in the Russian post (13-18 Sept.), 3 days in USPS (1-3 Oct.), so 12 days waiting for it to show up on the USPS site. So...I've had it now a little more than a week.
Anyway, so I sign, accept the mail, bring it in and sort it and immediately go and open the envelope. Sorry, no snazzy video of that. It was all very nicely packaged though: the envelope was a bubble wrapped/cushioned one, everything was wrapped neatly, a business card was slipped into the plastic wrapped around the harness, the Endy was tied securely in a bag with powder -- it was all very well done. I actually opened them in the reverse order that I imagine most people would and unwrapped the harness first to take a good look at that.
The harness is very nicely made and very cleverly designed as well, I think. Here again I can't compare to the previous design, and in fact I can't compare to many designs, but I like this harness. I do actually like that they include support for the testicles and while I confessed that I may need to adjust to them being in an actual pouch (given being used to packing directly against my own body) I found while actually wearing it that that wasn't the case at all: it took me no time whatsoever to get used to wearing the Endy and the harness. The pouch actually has elastic at the top, so the STP/packer is very securely held between the pouch, the straps which further hold the device, and the elastic o-ring. I also like the way the leg straps are attached to the pouch – rather than sewn directly to the pouch itself they're fed through a small loop created at the bottom. Minor detail: I also like the button used on the one strap (not just a plain button), but that may be an odd thing that I would take notice of or think about.
I just wish I had bought a second harness for while the one's in the wash.
Now, the Endy itself. I bought it in swarthy because on my screen it looked perfect and the caramel still looked too close to my Reel Magik packer, which is way too light toned for me. When it arrived it was quite a bit darker than expected but, personally, that's not a big deal for me. I'd much prefer too dark than too light to be honest. The spoon design reminds me a bit of the Peecock but smaller (and closeable), and size-wise the Endy is very similar to the Reel Magik basic packer that I have – I mean very similar. Almost the exact same proportionally except that the RM is longer from the top of the packer to the bottom of the scrotum/testicles; the RM hangs a little lower in that respect, not quite as wide, but otherwise they're pretty evenly matched. The shafts are the same lengths, about the same girth, and while I haven't weighed them to compare exactly in that regard there's no easily noticeable difference in weight to me. Given that I like the size of the RM packer I'm pretty satisfied with the size of the Endy.
A little more on the spoon. It seems to be a solid piece of silicone (as in the spoon and the tube running down the shaft are all one piece) and it's as well done as the rest of the Endy: it's all smooth and uniform, the clasp is nice and solid, and there's no protrusion or anything odd-looking as far as the STP part at the head of the device. I feel like I remember some people mentioning other companies using glue in the past and wanted to note that the spoon and the Endy are sealed together using clear silicone – this was what impressed me, having a little bit of experience with the type of silicone it seems was used, because it's not a thick layer and it's not messy or left feeling undone: it's a nice, neat, thin layer.
Of course, being made of cyberskin opposed to a basic silicone packer the Endy is much softer to the touch and more pliable – a bit more realistic in that respect – compared to the RM Basic. I think it hangs rather nicely from the harness myself. Overall, needless to say, I'm really rather liking the Endy thus far. It's similarly priced to the Peecock but a considerably better made product, or at the least better designed, and it packs much better for me.
That said, I knew I would have a learning curve with the spoon design (being smaller than what I'm used to) and with using a harness with an STP and that's proven true. My first attempt was not a complete failure, but I can't say it was entirely successful either – underestimating how full my bladder was at the time was probably largely to blame, but for now I've gone back to STP-ing 101 until I get a better feel for the device and more confidence using it. Attempts thus far have been more successful, though I haven't yet tried with the harness again. What I think might take the most practice is actually closing the STP discretely after using it...I imagine there's either a trick to it that I haven't figured out or else it's just a matter of practice.
I don't have any pics at this point, but I can take and add some both of the Endy as well as comparing it side-by-side to the RM packer I have. I can probably get those up in the next day or so.
