The item is fantastic.
I had a bit of a dumb moment when I slid my Desire into the pouch and, having not read the description properly, hadn't realised it was meant to be a tight fit and had a pull-up mechanism. It really is a nicely snug fit, it won't be falling out of there any time soon!
After a couple of minutes struggling to pull the phone out I realised there was the 'Pull-up' mechanism, which is simple but effective! It's not stiff to pull up and you won't miss a phone call because it takes so long to slide your phone out.
Very nice quality pouch too, as stated, it's leather on the outside and has a screen protecting soft velvet type material on the inside to keep your phone scratch free.
So glad I paid that bit extra to get this rather some of the other products available. People complain about build quality on other pouches and also complain that the speaker is muffled so you can hardly hear it; not so with this, the volume difference is negligible and as said before - the build quality on this is just lovely.
One downside would be that I do tend to hit the unlock button of my desire when sliding it back into the pouch, but this is a design fault of the HTC, and very much my clumsiness, simply turn the desire the opposite end to be rid of this very small issue. It's certainly nothing to dock a star for!
