Yup, they are. Didn't the old ones have metal ones? I could have sworn that's what I have from a while ago.
Stanley's clear cover is probably the primary upgrade over the harbor freight.
I like what the new Menards Master Force line offers:

Likely vastly superior to both.
I have dozens of the Stanley's and dozens of the Harbor Freight and can easily notice the difference in quality between the 2.
If you're not constantly opening and closing them, then the Harbor Freight ones will do for almost half the price, but if I can get the Stanley's on sale I will.
The hinges alone are enough for me to switch all to the Stanley cases. Then you have the latches where the Stanley's only have to 2 latches which works well (if they don't fall off, yes they've fallen off), but the Harbor Freight ones also have a little clip in the middle between both latches which some would argue adds more security in keeping the lids closed and secure, but it's rather inconvenient for me when I unlatch the latches and try to open the lid, only to have to lift up the center part.
Lastly, the clarity of the plastic on the lids are translucent on the Harbor Freight, where the Stanley's are completely clear.
So ya, if the Stanley's are on sale, I try to stock up.
