This beautiful-looking pouch will pop open if you jog a step or two while crossing the street. That's how my Sidekick flew out of the pouch and smashed its thumb wheel. Points for truth in advertising, though, as it really is a Danger Side Pouch--emphasis on DANGER!

UPDATE: Now the the leather behind the clip is tearing out around two of the three sides of the stitching.

This holder is so lousy that I must wonder whether I just got a lemon--but I think I'd rather have a refund than a replacement.

Like a good baseball glove, the case's leather is stiff and tight until you work the leather and get it soft. As a matter of fact, I couldn't even get the clip closed until I spent about 10 minutes flexing the leather and the strap. once I did that, the case was the perfect size, and the clip fit perfectly. If it were any larger (to make it fit perfectly out of the box), it would age and stretch to a point that would make it too big. People who don't have success with this case don't know how to prepare and use it. I have tried several Sidekick cases, and this is my favorite design. The horizontal placement is much more comfortable than the original case's vertical storage.

The wheel should be at the right and the display pointed towards your belt. Otherwise the snap won't close properly, your Sidekick will fall out, you'll have the antenna pointed at your midsection to boot!

It works fine, but I wish it were all black and designed to be a little smaller. It adds about 3/4" to the thickness of the hiptop and adds to the sides and bottom, too.

The headphone port is usable, but not sure how you'd hang up or answer a call with it in the pouch.

I keep my phone in it to protect it most of the time.

Not sure about the velro strap in the editorial review. Mine has a belt clip that holds on really well.
