Tight fit and the phone fits only one way or keys can snag; will probably fit both ways as case 'relaxes' with use. Turns screen off automatically. I wanted an option to my rubber skin as that snags in pockets and dust can get into the screen. Leather with RIM logos, all in all great product and price.
The pocket came with my phone, so I am about to purchase a new one for the replacement. Get a kinda strong magnet and check (don't remember if paper clips worked, but my fridge magnets were ok). The magnet needs to go right over the trackball or thereabouts. So, if you want this for the "sensor" capability but already have a case you like better, I would suggest retrofitting a magnet into your current case if you feel crafty. The material is kinda rubbery).The pocket is great because it protects your phone while not in use when you throw it in your pocket or bag or whatever. My original was smooth.
The reviewer that says the edge material comes off easy is correct; but the leather stays together even after it comes off so it is really just a cosmetic thing. (Although I have a hunch it helps keep them together in the case of moisture or something. I have lost my phone (and pocket). And that's all I care about. Try it. Check the pocket if you have it and your own phone if you are brave. Plus the magnet makes remembering to put my phone on vibrate or silent for class and movies a breeze.
The phone's not going to get scratched while you are talking on it. I'm glad to hear the leather is not nubby like the picture shows. That's also why putting the phone in the right way is important.The case does not protect the top from scratches, much to the dismay of people that care for that kind of thing. And when you actually use your phone there is no hindering rubber skin or any such nonsense. Of course, pocket is easy to lose from the phone for this reason.The "sensor" is actually a weak magnet. It does protect the important parts though: camera lens, screen, buttons/trackball, etc. Well worth the cheap price here on Amazon if all of this appeals to you.
There is a smooth lining on the borders that make it feel soft, smooth and look good on the edge. Meets the expectation. Infact it was better than what I recieved originaly with the phone. The original one that came is box didn't had that. Great for the price of $3.
THE OTHER POUCH HAD THE SHAPE OF THE PHONE WORN INTO IT (SEEMED USED) AND SMELLED LIKE FAKE LEATHER. I ORDERED TWO OF THESE POUCHES. ONE OF THEM SEEMED BRAND NEW AND JUST LIKE THE ONE THAT CAME WITH MY CELL PHONE. BOTH OF THEM FIT MY PHONE AND PUT IT INTO SLEEP MODE WHILE IN THE POUCH. PLUS, THE PRICE WAS GREAT, SO I CAN'T REALLY COMPLAIN.
At least, that's how I'm using it.Fit is perfect. I wanted something thin that would keep pocket lint and dirt out of the buttons and trackball.The quality is better than the impression I got from the photo here. Needed a new case for the Blackberry, but I'm not crazy about belt clips, as I'm always sticking the phone in my jacket or pants pocket. It's just what I was looking for. On the "back side" there's a extra strip of leather that's sown over a narrow gap that runs the length of the holster. This protects the trackball from being bumped. And you'd be hard pressed to beat the price of nine cents. OK, $2.89 for shipping, but still.
