First off, I'd trust my Centro to a pretty good fall in this leather case. It's fairly ridged when snapped closed and the leather has great shock-absorbability. The pockets inside the front are nifty if you have any small documents or full size SD memory cards in need of a home. Do not, however, plan to use it as a wallet if you're a "driver's license and credit card only" kind of guy, like me. They don't fit. The magnetic snap is well designed and will not open under most circumstances, except when you want it to. The hole for the camera/speaker/portrait mirror on back is perfect, and the extra stylus holder is a plus. Removal of the device is quick for battery removal/card changes/resets.

Now for the bad: You'll first notice that the depth of the device is nearly doubled when inside the case, so jean-pocket carry is impossible unless you like `em extra-baggy, and there is no alternative since it doesn't have a belt clip. I'm lucky enough to be able to carry it in the large breast pocket on my work shirt. The leather band that runs across the device just under the screen is a bit thick and close to the tops of the home, phone, and up buttons, making pressing them awkward. I have adapted to this by pressing a combination of leather and button to get the desired function and this seems to work well. The device slides up a bit inside the case (the same phenomenon that makes removal easy) when ANY force is applied from below, like when plugging in the power cable. You'll soon learn to secure the top of the device with a spare finger to hold it in. Finally, the flip front is awkward to hold back the first few times you talk on the phone, but I've learned to appreciate the puffy depth this give the device so it doesn't feel like I'm talking into a business card (you may feel differently about this). It's funny watching friends fumble with the case when using your phone for the first time. :)

In summary, this is a great case for someone who has a bag or purse to always store the device, someone who doesn't carry it with them everywhere, or if you have a pocket big enough. Protection and style are the primary functions of this case, not convenience. If you pocket-carry your phone, get a slimmer case. Overall build quality is a perfect 10. Ergonomics gets a 6.
