I hated the leather cover that came with my Sidekick - it seemed silly to have a vertical pouch for a device that is used horizontally. This cover solves that issue.The pros: the magnetic snap holds well but is not difficult to open, and a finger hole in the center bottom makes it easy to get the device out. The attached belt clip holds firm and is much better quality than most belt clips I've purchased as phone accessories in the past. The interior suede provides a good soft surface to protect the easily-scratched screen.The cons: It's a good thing the finger hole is there! In order to close the snap cover, one must really jam the Sidekick into the pouch. It seems as though the vertical height of the pouch is just a millimeter or two less than what it should be.This was an expensive accessory for the Sidekick, but worth it to be able to keep it covered without the inconvenience of the pouch that came from the factory. It also looks very sharp!
