Match the pictures and description although I am not sure whether the leather. The finish is correct but there is everywhere glue smudges. I struggled to return the phone to its location and at first he was jumping. Now he seems to hold but I am always wary because I'm afraid it falls. This case take up much space in the pocket but it fits my needs. The advantage with the side opening is that you can load it with the closed case. The downside is that it's less convenient to call. But ... he used to so many other things that call! ... I lay still only 3 * for I am not reassured about the good performance of the phone and I even fear that the shell breaks so I had to strain to the back.
