First of all, I personally like the brown leather color. (Thank God it is not as shown in the picture, which looks awfully bright and cheap looking.) It has the elegance of 'coach'. The closure is simple and effective. Very easy to throw my new Razr V3c in my bag or in my pocket. The missing 5th star is the belt clip on the back. It is not removable. And I don't like to clip anything on my belt, but again that is a personal choice. No big deal. Overall, it is still very compact and serves its puporse of protecting the phone.
