Bought myself after much deliberation and reading many reviews this bag for my new iPod Classic. The shipping was very fast, the packaging pleasantly small but perfectly adequate. Although it is not a genuine leather, the bag looks good and solid processed. Sure, the strict chemical smell is there. I realize only when I hold them right under your nose and when I do that already. The first time the iPod is a little hard to insert, but this is improving rapidly in the next painting. The bag fits perfectly. The recesses are millimeter in the right places. Although the bag has a belt loop, I use mainly (two ways) attached carabiner for carrying on the belt. I find that the iPod can be so very comfortable to wear and you can operate it well, without having to take it out of the case when carrying. Overall, a very good buy, and buy recommendation.
