I believe 2013 was the last year with the umbrella holder. My 2014 doesn't have it.
My 2013 991S has it, as did my 2012.5 991S. I thought they got rid of it with the 991.2 but I didn't realize that it disappeared even sooner than that!
Top is knock-off 3 piece black chrome (center piece also changed, was advertised as "aluminum" but is plastic) vs standard/original case.
Knock-off fitment isn't too bad but at the front of the case the gaps have a slight "harsh" edge that will probably "wear" or discolor, especially with pushing and pulling from a pant pocket.
Plastic of the knock off is not as durable, more of a hard plastic, compared to the original case as it seams more pliable/flexible with almost a polyurethane feel.
For the price difference of about $100, we'll see how it holds up, but as the saying goes "you get what you pay for"
Hope this helps others considering the knock-offs.
