If you are looking for a handsome case to make a fashion statement, this is the case for you at a reasonable price considering the fine leather and quality artisanship.

If you are looking for more protection for your mobile companion, you may not want to leave him exposed to a frontal attack when he’s dangling from your belt or rocking around in a bag jousting with enemies such as car keys.

I found the top strap annoying, and I didn’t like the fact that the swivel mount belt clip sticks out so far from the belt. Covering the expansion slot, IR port, and reset button are a problems too.
