The bag itself makes a very robust impression with the attempt of introducing the Samsung Galaxy Ace for the first few times very hard work. Slightly knead the leather help however and after several repetitions, the phone can easily slide into the pocket.
After 3 weeks of use, the bag is in an absolutely correct condition (external) confirming the first impression. Unfortunately, however, the withdrawal tape after only 2 days ripped (rubber band). Here the manufacturer could possibly come up with a better technique. Since I already own a another bag without retracting function and also despite torn withdrawal tape this bag can be used without problems, I have refrained from a return. Do not think that it was a production error was as mentioned in previous reviews this deficiency.
