This pouch is not really given, but frankly, if you do not want to buy 36 cover, the one is very good! The crystal case is "validated" by Sony (a so official). One feels immediately the quality of finish, plastic is good enough, it has the shape of Xperia S, so holds very well, it was easy to access buttons on the sides. The leather is of good quality too. So for me it was well worth the price (compared to the case that I had for other notebook to 10-15 which was pretty bad ...) this is THE bag to have for its Xperia S
