I had to wait for this item to be delivered, as they had run out of stock, but it was well worth the wait. The leather is really good quality and very well made. It fits my Ipod like a glove. At the rear, is at first glance a belt loop, but in fact it is attached, so that the ipod can stand up vertically. All in all, I am extremely pleased with it. And as a bonus, for the extra waiting time included an extra plastic case.
