Faber-Castell LOOM Fountain Pen

Mine finally arrived after a massdrop delay AND a fedex delay. This experience really tested my patience but I'm very happy to have it now. I got the gunmetal matte. I really like the look of it. The gunmetal looks more like a warm brown-bronze than the darker gray I'm used to when thinking of "gunmetal", but it really is a good-looking pen. Very sturdy, and a good size with a sturdy clip so I plan to carry this around a lot. It does write really well. My only gripe is it is quite hard to uncap it, but I knew this was a common complaint so I knew what I was getting into. Hopefully it really will get easier. Overall I'm quite happy with it. Side note, the cartridge it came with had a small hole at the top (not where it is inserted into the pen), so it was leaking when it arrived. Fortunately I ordered a converter so it wasn't dead in the water. Did anyone else have this? I suspect since I'm at a higher altitude the pressure change caused it to "pop" a hole in the weakest part of the plastic. Is this common with cartridges or are these just cheap quality?
