The quality is good and the belt loop assures the case isn't going to fall off. Using it for a cell phone or PDA it appears it would do the job. Using it for a holster is a different story. At the 5 3/4" measurement it leaves about 2" of uncovered area on the side. If your looking at it for a holster you will have only 4 1/4" of concealment. Even the smallest of pistols can't be concealed. The actual pocket needs to be about 1" deeper. This DOES NOT work as a holster without modification.
