I realize the ridiculousness of having such a massive phone in a holster on one's hip. However, for work reasons, this is really the only way I can reliably carry my phone with me at all times, in various situations, so I won't comment too much on the aesthetics of this.The case is somewhat better than I expected, given its made in China origins. The case come very well packaged, wrapped in a cloth in what looks almost like a gift box. The embossed leather appears to be of decent quality. I can't tell if it's a pretty good fake leather, or a second-rate genuine leather. The stitching around the case is even, with no loose threads. On this embossed version of the case, there isn't a giant PDAir logo so that the case looks actually quite classy and anonymous. The leather and elastic sides are stiff, making it hard to remove the phone, but I imagine it will loosen up with time. It accommodates my phone even with its hard plastic protective case around it. There's no magnetic closure to interfere or damage the touch screen with prolonged exposure. The holster clip is wide and sturdy.
There are some drawbacks. Beware it is probably shipping from Hong Kong (mine did) so shipping takes a long time. I wish it was lined in microfiber or something soft, rather than vinyl. If you drop the phone in its case, the case will not protect the top and top corners of the phone at all (because it's a hairsbreadth not tall enough).
Overall, I'd say it's somewhat overpriced, but there are really no other options for a good-looking leather holster case without a magnetic closure.
