While there is already some time ago that I have purchased this product, but just so I can probably also quite good a sound estimate deliver especially with me this bag since May 2010.
Due to recent events, I've put in the washing machine test times, I have become more aware of it again.
But enough of the pocket.
As some have written here, I can also confirm that the case is quite narrow. Likewise, it has initially a slight chemical smell which however vanished quickly with me.
At first I had difficulties to put my N900 in the bag, after two days of stretching by a Handgrip in this style:; ie = UTF8 & qid = 1382281383 & sr = 1-29 (! This is not advertising, it is for illustration only), seemed the Case still be quite tight, the mobile phone fit but much better, without the danger of it slipping out.
Visually, I find the pocket very appealing, even if the rubber application in my opinion would not have to be it.
The N900 is reliably protected it from scratches, however, which is quite normal in such an envelope is not supporting the structure of the phone, which, can be dangerous in crashes just from the point of the considerable weight of the N900 still.
The somewhat harsh, velvet-like outer coating of the shell, has signs of wear shown to me after about a year of heavy use (about 40 uses / day with no means just careful handling).
The material after some time, definitely, the smell around added more than half a year in which it was used mainly what I consider to be quite normal and under.
Especially for people who perspire heavily and anywhere else close wear this shell in your pocket, or on the body, it may be a hindrance, that the envelope can not be cleaned easily.
The wash they had to go through, not only the smell, but also those already mentioned coating partially removed.
Certainly it is possible the shell by hand wash better, which is definitely a price is given the nicer appearance when compared to "Handysocken", which it is worthwhile to pay.
